Lisa Vanderpump isn’t known for flying under the radar. This time she was just trying to fly. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star posted a frustrated video from Miami airport after what she described as a 12-hour American Airlines delay, complete with repeated boarding and deplaning.
Online comments quickly turned it into their own kind of entertainment because of the irony of this woman, with her privilege, standed like everyone else.
The video originally appeared on her Instagram reel on Sunday, and if we take her “12 hours” as literally, she’d have been traveling (or trying to!) on Saturday.

Okay, American Airlines. I’ve been waiting now, and I’ve been on three planes. I’m gonna be taken off them with all these other people because of mechanical issues. So we’re on our third plane. Been waiting nine hours. About to lose my mind. Everybody listen up, American Airlines. Unbelievable. Stuck here at Miami Airport. or it’s actually 12 hours now and two planes have mechanical issues and have said we can’t fly so we’ve sat on the plane twice not a good look for you guys don’t like posting something negative however sorry give me no other option
What’s so irresistible is seeing the luxury brand celebrity stuck in the same miserable ops as everyone else. Commenters immediately go to “fly private then.” And they also note she looks camera-ready. Discussion breaks into 3 camps:
- “This sucks, American is a mess”
- “Mechanical issues = good, stop whining” — safety first, suck it up.
- “You’re rich, fly private” and “American airlines? Oh she’s broke. Fly DELTA”
While air travelers have a higher average income than the country as a whole, it really is small-d democratic and when mechanical issues and crew availability issues hit they hit us all equally.
