A Scottish woman arrested at Nashville airport after launching into a foul-mouthed rant captured on camera has been outed as an award-winning comedian.
Actress and comic Rachel Jackson moved to the United States in order to find love. However, her journey came with a huge toll after the 37-year-old was arrested following a meltdown at the airport during an altercation with police officers. Rachel was subsequently escorted out by cops into an awaiting police car. The footage featuring the Outlander actress has since gone viral after being uploaded to YouTube.
The footage, which was captured on Aug. 15, 2023 at Tennessee’s Nashville Airport, saw her and police come to blows after she initially wandered into the dedicated Delta Airlines lounge without the correct pass. Staff informed her that she was flying on a British Airways flight to London and was in the wrong lounge, with one member of staff claiming they believed Rachel was “high.”
Rachel moved to the States last year and documented her journey on the comedy show, American Horror Story, which was set to document her journey for love but instead, she “lost her mind.” Identified by the tattoos on her wrist and wearing oversized sunglasses, Rachel was soon caught by police and demanded to be left alone.
When the officer attempted to reassure her and defuse the now heated situation, she demanded: “Get your hands off me.”
“You’re going to stop and listen to me,” said one officer as Rachel abruptly responded: “No, I’m not.”
The police officer went on to explain that she had been denied boarding from the flight but this appeared to inflame the actress even more. She exclaimed: “By the captain and I listen to captain’s orders – ’cause I’ve seen Titanic, I’ve seen Titanic.”
“I am White Lotus, I am Titanic,” she shouted, and then yelled: “Get your f**king hands off me,” before being informed she was required to be escorted off of the airport premises.
The pilot and captain of a flight are legally empowered to refuse to board or to remove someone from an aircraft. She continued: “Back the f— off.”
The situation escalated as officers tried to subdue Jackson. In a heated exchange, she resisted, declaring: “Get your hands off me while I drink my water,” and gave the officers an ultimatum of “60 seconds” to back away. Her anger rose as she repeatedly commanded: “Get your f—— hands off me,” while the police made attempts to handcuff her and she cried out for “help.”
Furthermore, Jackson demanded the officers give her money for nicotine gum which they declined, triggering additional fury. While resisting arrest, she proclaimed she “won’t go to jail,” seeking assistance specifically from a female officer. Attempts to reach Rachel for a statement were unsuccessful.
