Overview
- The Dancing With the Stars pro said a passenger asked for quiet and a flight attendant repeatedly shushed her 2-year-old during the family’s return from Australia to the U.S.
- Carson recounted confronting the crew, asking if there were designated quiet times, and said she did not expect a child to stay silent for the entire flight.
- She first posted about the episode on Jan. 25 and followed up on Jan. 26 to thank supporters, saying she felt “very validated.”
- Coverage of the incident is based on Carson’s Instagram account, and no airline or other passengers have publicly corroborated her description.
- One outlet identified the service as a Delta Sydney–Los Angeles flight, a detail not confirmed elsewhere, as online reaction ranged from strong support to skepticism from airline workers and frequent flyers.
