*NFL Hall of Famer Terrell Davis is using his platform to tell his truth. Those who follow football know that Terrell was a sixth-round draft pick for the Denver Broncos in 1995. He went on to have a stellar career in the sport, becoming the NFL’s MVP in 1998 and the Super Bowl XXXII MVP.
Now, in a different arena, Davis is making headlines for an unexpected and troubling incident involving United Airlines which has issued him an apology. More about that shortly.
Earlier this month, as reported, Davis claimed he was targeted and wrongfully accused by United Airlines and took to his social media accounts to share his side of the story. On Monday, July 15, Terrell discussed being handcuffed by United Airlines. In a lengthy Instagram post, he explained that he and his wife and three children were on a flight when one of his sons asked a flight attendant for ice. Terrell noticed the flight attendant wasn’t responding to his son, so he tapped the flight attendant’s shoulder to get his attention.
According to Davis, the flight attendant yelled, “Don’t hit me!” in response to the tap. Terrell stated that he backed off and returned to his seat, thinking the issue was resolved.
However, upon landing, six law enforcement officers boarded the plane, handcuffed Davis, and removed him from the aircraft.

Davis’ Instagram post quickly spread across social media, gaining significant attention. In response, United Airlines issued an apology for the wrongful arrest and announced the dismissal of the flight attendant involved in the incident, reports Distractify.
“This is clearly not the kind of travel experience we strive to provide, and we have reached out to Mr. Davis’ team to apologize,” United stated, according to NBC News. “We have removed the flight attendant from duty while we closely review this matter.”
Despite the public apology, Davis has not yet responded to United Airlines’ statement.
His silence leaves many wondering about the further implications of this incident and if it might prompt broader changes in airline customer service protocols.
For now, Terrell Davis’s experience serves as a potent reminder of the challenges that can arise even for the most celebrated individuals.
