From Claire’s witness statement

From Mia’s statement

So Mia was aware of a video being played but was not aware of what it was or who it was yet knew the cabin crew were disgusted. Were that to be true she would be referring to the video shown by the First Officer of a swearing reindeer using the C word.

Despite him showing this video to me, others sitting behind me watched it and there was plenty of laughter. It was not sent to me so I never replayed it.

I doubt very much anyone would be disgusted watching a naughty gay Christmas themed cartoon that was actually very funny.

This screenshot comes from Lottie’s statement. She was sitting in the row immediately behind me on the bus. T and Ven were sitting next to each other behind her, Anna and Bart were sitting together across the aisle from them.

From Lottie’s statement

This screenshot comes from Katrina’s witness statement. Bear in mind throughout her statement Anna talks about Bart being sad and unhappy because of the way I treated him on both sectors and during our layover in Atlanta.

Bart says he felt bullied and intimidated by me on both sectors and on the inbound had never started a flight “so low on morale and demotivated”.

Upon arrival at the hotel in Atlanta Anna says she “went out of her way” to speak with me because she “would never leave anyone out over the holiday season.”

From Katrina’s witness statement

The next extract comes from Ven’s statement. We had never met prior to this flight so he knows nothing about my character. At this point we had just done the half empty flight out to Atlanta together.

Having shown him and T the gay cartoon after they asked what I was laughing at whilst I was re-watching it on my iPhone, both of them asked me for a copy.

I airdropped it to them which T confirms this in his witness statement.

From T’s witness statement

T states I was repeating the content back regarding the video. The first video which was the gay cartoon had no dialogue. Bart says I was commenting on it whilst playing it to T and Ven. That would have been difficult considering the screen was facing away from me.

The second video of the swearing reindeer was shown to me by the First Officer. It made me laugh but was offensive. There was plenty of laughter coming from behind me. I certainly didn’t repeat anything back.

Nobody asked the First Officer to stop playing it. The Captain was sat just across the aisle from him.

The video I sent to T and “some other crew” was the gay cartoon. It was sent to him and Ven.

T may have been aware some people weren’t impressed by the reindeer video but I wasn’t. That was because I was sat at the front of the bus and was facing forwards when it was playing.

When that video finished I started messaging my partner on WhatsApp.

Apart from the Captain, First Officer, Katrina and Claire everyone else was behind me.

Surprisingly Bart, Anna and Ven say nothing in their statement about this second video.


From Peter’s statement

Peter, Mia, Lottie, Claire and Katrina all state they were unaware of any video being played. Ven doesn’t mention the reindeer video and T doesn’t say he found it disgusting. I’m sure he wouldn’t considering the video he uploaded of himself to Instagram.

The Captain who was sitting adjacent to the First Officer (in front of me) was laughing as the (reindeer) video played. So that just leaves two crew who didn’t return their witness statement.

I doubt Bruce would have found it offensive and can’t say what the other female crew member thought of it.

Mia says “the CC (cabin crew) were discusted with it what I can remember”. Peter says “some crew found it disgusting and inappropriate”. Mia and Peter were in the back row of the bus. Bruce was across the aisle from me so they couldn’t have heard any comment he may or may not have made.

So the only person left who could have commented on the video was the female crew member who didn’t return her statement. I’m assuming Anna and Bart both found it offensive but since they don’t mention it we don’t know for certain.

To close this chapter I’m going to finish with some light entertainment. This is the second of two paragraphs in which Anna speaks about the naughty gay cartoon.

From Anna’s witness statement

What Anna describes in her statement allegedly took place whilst I was showing T and Ven the naughty cartoon. I state in my defence that I angled my phone away from the right side of the bus.

Bart confirms that in his complaint by saying Laurence showed the video to one side of the bus and said he would show it to the other afterwards. It was not necessary for me to do that because T then replayed the video on his iPad after I sent it to him. Therefore anyone who wanted to see it could watch it.

Anna would not have been able to see the video when I played it to T and Ven due to the angle of the screen.

Despite nobody else being aware of or watching the video, Anna says “I believe we all felt uncomfortable.”

In Bart’s complaint he says Ven (who is gay) and Anna laughed nervously as they watched the video. Yet in Anna’s statement she says;
