Overview

  • The Brewers filed a federal lawsuit on July 16 in Charleston, accusing Delta of negligence, emotional distress, harassment and privacy violations.
  • They allege a contracted ground worker took their child’s pink Peppa Pig iPad left on a July 2023 flight and used it to film explicit footage while wearing Delta attire.
  • Court documents say the same individual accessed the Brewers’ iCloud and Amazon accounts, creating unauthorized profiles and uploading graphic content.
  • Delta has identified the accused as a contracted vendor employee, asserted a zero-tolerance policy for unlawful behavior and declined further comment as the case proceeds.
  • The lawsuit highlights gaps in third-party vendor oversight and raises questions about airlines’ responsibility for safeguarding passengers’ lost property.
