Woman Notices Man Next To Her Is Texting Someone That He’s Sitting Next To ‘Smelly Fatty’, And It Escalates Quickly
Many suffer from body-shaming but one woman has just claimed that she had to endure it while on a plane. By a man sitting next to her. “Before I knew it, I could feel hot, salty tears coming down my face,” Savannah Phillips wrote on Facebook. She said she was stuck there, crying because of the humiliation she couldn’t escape from.
“I haven’t experienced body-shaming like that since I was in grade school,” Savannah told Bored Panda. The whole incident, however, took an unexpected turn when another passenger intervened to help her. It was a bar manager, Chase Irwin.
“I would also like to add that I do forgive him,” Savannah said. “I have said lots of things in my life that I shouldn’t have, just like everyone else. If I hated him, I would not be any different and it is vital to respond with love. Only love brings change in the world.”
Phillips said that neither she nor Chase have spoken with the man ever since. She doesn’t even know who he is. “And I really don’t want to know. I don’t want this story to be about him – my goal was for it to be about Chase and how we should all be brave like he was and stand up for others.”
Scroll down to read how everything unfolded in Savannah’s own words and learn why she considers Irwin a hero!

People had a lot to say about situation
"Man On Plane Calls His Seatmate A ‘Smelly Fatty,’ Probably Wishes He Hadn’t" → I suggest a title focusing more on the hero guy, since he's the one who deserves more spotlight. Also because I hiiiiiiiiighly doubt the "villain" here cares about this at all.
Oh, and one more thing. A more positive title will attract more interest from the audience. With a title like that, people will most likely expect a petty revenge story.

You guys are so quick to judging her as childish and/or "weak". She shared her story, she saw his text, even the GUY behind saw the text, which meant the "private" message was easy to read as the bald dude didn't even have the decency to make it discreet. If you didn't like her story or found it silly, move on to the next one. Sometimes this place has way too much negativity on posts that could use some empathy.
but... she's not even fat? plane bully was a d**k. well done to plane hero, he acted calmly and was the voice the lady needed.
