Overview

• Shayanne Wright alleges a male flight attendant lifted her nursing cover during a June long‑haul flight, exposing her while she breastfed her seven‑month‑old daughter.
• She says the same crew member repeatedly tapped her leg, tried to fasten her seatbelt, and refused her request to be served dinner after nursing her baby to sleep.
• Wright filed a sexual harassment complaint with British Airways, which says it looked into the allegations and contacted her directly to resolve the matter.
• According to Wright, the airline did not offer a direct apology and instead proposed gift cards of $250 later increased to $1,000, prompting her to threaten legal action.
• Her account went viral on Reddit’s r/breastfeeding community with more than 600,000 views, refocusing attention on breastfeeding protections and crew training policies under U.S. and U.K. rules.
