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!

Savannah Phillips has been on airplanes for the last three weeks, but this flight was the worst of all of them
This is how Savannah’s hero, Chase Irwin, saw it
‘I do feel a little more beautiful today’
Watch the video below to see how grateful Savannah really is
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.
Load More Replies...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.
This woman is beautiful. I think this "comedian" just needed something to text to show how endlessly entertaining his life is.
First...she is beautiful, just not the now popular size 2-4. Second, I am heavy. My response to people is that I could probably lose the fat, but they will have a harder time losing the stupid.
If you're going to be a massive prick in a text, at least have enough brains to hide it from other people.
Could people just stop staring at strangers phones? It's odd to get offended after they're the ones spying on tiny screen where there could have been something very personal to the stranger. It's weird paranoia going on when everything others do have to be observed and recorded in case it might be something to do with you.
Seriously! I'm going to start texting about how bad my period is and describing the clots in detail when texting next to someone. Good lord, I had no idea people were 1. so nosy and 2. so proud of it!
Load More Replies...Whilst I understand that what the man wrote wasn't very nice, she was reading a private message from a man to his wife. Society is in real danger of becoming totalitarian, if people are no longer allowed to say what they want in PRIVATE messages. Like I said, it wasn't very nice of him and it's horrible she saw it but, what someone writes to someone in a private message is nobody's business but the sender and recipient of said message.
Sorry but I have to disagree. If he is as blind as a mole so everyone around him can see the text no matter wanting to read it or not, he must have known there was a possibility someone else was able to see his message. He is just a rude and careless person that's all he is. Just my two cents.
Load More Replies...I don't read other people's texts. Apparently a lot of other people do. However, I wouldn't ever write a text like that also and if you are going to do that where other people could potentially see it then that's on you.
I'm having a hard time believing this one - was everyone aboard able to read his text? Was he texting on a 3-foot iPad in a 45 point font? Who the hell pays attention to what other people are texting?
Only two people who saw the text, the woman and a man sitting right behind. That very close proximity.
Load More Replies...This story was already a bit shaky but I was trying to sympathize. Then the psychotic god talk started. Makes the whole story seem fishy and untrustworthy.
Well there are apparently a lot of people out there that believe in a god. And in America there a lot of them that not only believe in one. They also believe that their god does things to help them. I may not subscribe but I have known more than enough people like this. Some that I have known can't seem to have a conversation about anything, with out god somehow being part of it. It's just how some people handle life, and it's many adventures. It doesn't make this story fishy. It is just how she and a lot of people are.
Load More Replies...Omg I hate that u feel that way about urself cuz I can c that ur beautiful from hear. Don't ever let anyone make u feel that way, just remember it says more about them than u. Something must be really wrong for them to sit there and jjsukt
Lost faith in humanity and restored again in a couple of minutes. You are a good man Chase.
She is cute and pretty, and barely, if any, overweight, she should not ever let some rude stranger get to her like that. I know, it happens to everyone, but we have to remember: some people are just mean! They will insult anybody. You know how you can tell someone is just a big jerk? It's anyone who says anything negative about someone's looks. Beauty standards are made by media, to SELL products. Remember that people, we are all beautiful, in fact. Don't let jerks get you down.
She is cute and pretty, but she is overweight at the same time. Look at her picture, look at the belly and look at the arms. I m not judging it, just stating the fact. Opinions whether its beautiful or not should be kept silent - noone has the right to judge anyone else but themselves.
Load More Replies...If that is average in America, that is really sad. She is overweight.
Load More Replies...She's is just barely overweight, I wouldn't call her fat at all...In fact, I think she looks pretty average, weight wise...
We should be watchful of our hygiene... anywhere... any time. This is so that we give courtesy towards other people.
And we should STFU instead of choosing to hurt people in public.
Load More Replies...You are beautiful ... as far as the guy who judged you-- I think he was projecting his own self hatred and by the looks of him I can understand why _ thank God for people like Chase
People like this guy put other people down to increase their sense of superiority. He is the on with the problem, not her.
Load More Replies...I confess I have not been on a plane in years, so forgive my ignorance. But aren't you supposed to wait until the plane takes off before using electronic devices? Also, shouldn't you be listening while the flight attendant is giving safety instructions?
Instructions have not changed in the last 30 years at least. There is a little icon where the "call flight attendant" symbol lights up now, it is for cell phone use in the plane and lets you know when it's ok and when it's not
Load More Replies...You know people probably shouldn't text mean things about people, but hey I text some pretty f****d up s**t to my wife and friends, and if you are reading my text messages and get your feelings hurt or are offended, that is kind of on you. Still she is a lovely woman and I do feel bad for her, and that dude probably is a d**k. Still my point stands, mind you own damn business
Fair enough in most circumstance but texting things right 'wher'e someone can see, that is actually on the texter as well. Sitting right next to someone it can be hard not to briefly see what is written, I unconsciously read text off book pages with out trying, a big bright screen next to me.. my eye would go there briefly. The article did say she tired not to read...
Load More Replies...You know what? I think you are very beatiful <3 There will always be some one who prefers some one more skinny, white, brown, taller... You are perfect as you are. Forget about that a...ole. You are beautiful:)
there will always be someone who prefers someone more full bodied, or shorter, or paler, or louder, or quieter, or exotic, or adventurous, or not adventurous--it takes all kinds.
Load More Replies...Chase - you're the Man. Insulting texting guy - you're an a**e-hole. And the internet knows what you look like...
Yes, people are entitled to their own opinions. BUT. Total d**k move to allow this poor woman to actually see his nastiness. Obviously his parents never taught him that, when around others, you must keep your opinions to yourself. A*****e couldn't just keep his arrogant s**t mouth (even through his cellphone) closed for a couple hours? F****r doesn't realize that people having to sit next to HIM would feel like vomiting too.
" when around others, you must keep your opinions to yourself." - did he tell it to her face? No. He KEPT his private opinion to himself. It was SHE that read something that was not meant to for her eyes.
Load More Replies...Sorry but you like to sit in a row where you don't have to sit next to anyone? Do tell...
An Alaska Air plane I was on just last week had a single row of seats in First Class... there were single seats on one side, double on the other. Into Coach, there were 2 seats on each side (TEENY TINY seats). So they do exist.
Load More Replies...Meh. Boohoo. You shouldn't be nosey and read other people's messages. She admitted she was fat, not sure if she was smelly, but he didn't choose to make a big scene about it. He sat there and messaged a friend (or whoever)... He could have said something to her face, he could have asked to move and cause a scene, he could have actually been vocal. At the same time, if she was smelly she should have at least bought deodorant at the airport. As for her weight, I have nothing against it BUT if parts of your body are bursting into my area and you can't fit into your seat - then it's an issue. Just like carry on luggage has to fit within a certain dimension, people should too for flights. It sounds harsh - but at the end of the day it does affect others, or does make other uncomfortable, and it's not good for her health.
I travel a lot and I know the struggle to be stuck on an airplane next to someobe stinky. It is a really phisical feeling and my head hurts. Do those people realize that they are offending me with their smell. Plus, I would share my thoughts with my husband in a text message. He did not say anything to her, but now he is not allowed to share with anyone?
And one who globs over into your seat. There is nothing more miserable than being squished into half a seat.
Load More Replies...Why do you doubt? She said nothing in her story that she didn't smell, or didn't bathe in perfume. If she didn't smell wouldn't she have mentioned that in the only version of the story we have: hers? I certainly would have said that.
Load More Replies...Ok, calling someone fat isn't "shaming." And who knows, maybe she did smell. Oh and he was texting someone else....not caling her names to her face. Sure the guy is probably an a*****e but calling him out like this is ridiculous. He has every right to text whatever the hell he wants.
People say what they will. Don’t read other’s text messages. Did she smell? Nobody wants to sit next to someone with boby odor.
or a lot of perfume. He didnt say bad smell.. just smelly..
Load More Replies...First of all, Savannah isn't unusually large - she looks like a lot of women. Secondly, i feel sorry for the texter's girlfriend/wife - he doesn't sound like a keeper to me. And, thirdly, I have had skinny men sit next to me on planes with their legs spread into my area and their arms spread out over the arm rest.
So the two of you read someone's personal messages, jumped to a conclusion, and then decided to humiliate him? You suck.
Jesus, people. Mind your own business and don't look at other people's phones.
For years I've been using the term "Goddess-shaped" instead of plus-sized, BBW, or any other euphemism. Look at the figurines representing female perfection made by our ancestors if you don't know why.
Graciousness and maturity notwithstanding, I'd be grateful for an opportunity to kick his a*s from here to clown town. Much Love, "I Hate Bullies"
Why do people have to be so unpleasant? It just isn't necessary at all. You don't benefit anyone. You aren't amusing. It wasn't even clever. Smelly? Why are you resorting to name calling like a five year old? People like that just spread misery and harm wherever they drag their sad sorry selves. It's all very well people saying it was his own text and private but why's he inflicting his pathetic view on the recipient? Or are they just as disgusting? If I had a friend or family member that texted me something like that I'd be ashamed of them. If a friend I'd probably drop them as that's not the type of person I'd want to be friends with and if a family member they'd soon know what I thought. How unnecessary a text like that is.
But five year olds aren’t the only people with a sense of smell. If this woman really smelled bad, then she had no right to inflict that on people around her. If someone smells terrible on an airplane, it makes sense that the other passengers would complain quietly to their friends.
Load More Replies...What a beautiful woman you are Savannah! Such a gorgeous pretty face. That man that text horrible stuff must feel so down on himself he needed to say that stuff about you. Thank god for beautiful Chase :) two lovely humans, it makes me smile
Wait..WHAT? Why are you looking at someone else's texts? This has gone too far. People are too sensitive. They need to toughen up. If she didn't spy on his texts she would never have known that she was being referred to as smelling "fatty". I cannot comprehend. How does someone's private message have anything to do with her? Who knows if that guy wasn't into larger girls? Not only did they make this guy out to be a bad person, but TWO people read his private messages. She and the other guy each need a black eye. To Savannah Phillips, keep your damn nose in front of your own phone. People are entitled to their private conversations and opinions, however offensive they may be.
wow - how unconscious thiS article is - this man has the freedom to write what he wants as long as he is keeping it private - to read other's people text-messages sheds a light onto the other people - maybe we should invent machines reading people's thoughts and as soon as somebody thinks an incorrect thought he gets an electric shock - would that be satisfying enough for all the staff of the concentration camp?
wtf honey you are gorgeous?????? like f**k that dude he's obviously blind.
Holy crud, I can't believe there are people like that creep out there! You are so pretty I cannot comprehend how he could say something so completely unaccurate! You are beautiful, and obviously a kind and sweet soul, don't let his evil bring you down. He is below you.
Wow, what a jerk. 1st of all, YOU'RE NOT THAT BIG! DEFINITELY not anywhere big enough to be an inconvenience to anyone. That jerk was just a very untalented comedian wannabe who is an obvious attention whore and had to make up a story to try and get laughs/attention.. I can tell he is one of those idiots who want to be funny so bad, but can't make real jokes, so he just does unjustified insults, foaming at the mouth for a laugh. YOU ARE GORGEOUS AND THAT MAN WAS A FOOL! I'm just glad there was another man right there to rescue you from that dumb a$$.
I used to be her size.. yeah you are uncomfortable in a plane seat and you definitely are an inconvenience to others, as your legs "spill" under the arm rests and your shoulders are wider than the seats in economy. The guy was an a$$, of course.
Load More Replies...She's very pretty and plump, not a fatty. She also has a lovely family.
Maybe don't read other peoples private texts next time? Woulda been fine. The man didn't say anything to her, was by all means cordial when he sat down. Now the PC Police wants to examine our phones to make sure we aren't talking about fat people. Gimmie a break.
Yet ANOTHER reason that I hate people!! Why TF some people are SO mean, cruel and hateful I will never understand!!! Honey, you ARE beautiful!! HE IS THE UGLY ONE!!
If I saw that guy texting like she did I think I might just try to fart more. "Oh man, how f*****g blind are you, your phone is going to blind the people behind us!" What the hell, they sat me next to an Old person, wth?!" What comes around goes around, and while I live in a glass house I am not afraid to throw those rocks right back at you!
And you'd confirm his thoughts that fat people are gross and smelly. Good thinking.
Load More Replies...This guy is disgusting and with him making his font so big and screen so bright, it sounds like he did it on purpose so she would see. She probably didn't even smell and he just wrote that to make it sound bad. Also he sounds like he has a thing against over weight people and that's sad as no matter our size we all deserve to be treated with respect. Karma well greet him hopefully.
He’s probably old and has bad eyes. They have those apps that make the font bigger.
Load More Replies...So writing a honest private message to your wife isnt allowed anymore? I dont get it. She is fat anybody can see it on the picture and he only wrote it to his wife. If im not honest to my wife she gets mad ... so what did he do wrobg? Go on the toilet for texting? If she wouldnt have looked on his phone nothing wouldve changed...fatshaming bs. Ppl call me too skinny all day. I dont like being skinny but i cant change it so why should i even bother other peoples response to that? If you are fata dmit or do sonething agaibst it if you dont feel comfortable with it. I really liked boredpanda but it seems to get more and more mainstream b******t: fatshaming, anti antivacciners, anti vegan, sjw, list goes on. Greetings from germany
Harm done by carelessness matter and the man is responsible for it. Something private needs to remain so. No different then if people made inappropriate comments in a 'private' conversation being over heard. HAD this been a different circumstances such as someone picked up the phone intentionally to read it you'd have a point-- not when it's done right in view of people.
Load More Replies...Are you asking why people text to their loved ones about their flight? Welcome to the 21st century.
Load More Replies...I bet that loser was texting his wife to reassure her he wasn't going to flirt with any female next to him because he probably is a cheating lying SOB with history. Just food for thought as to what would prompt such a cruel move.
Maybe she should walk more instead of being on airplanes for almost 3 weeks in a row... ;-) Video chat has been invented people, and VR meeting are a thing but still people want to make the useless trip, fukin' weird man! No wonder we have global warming!
That was nice of him, but I would have spoken up. No need to let people run over you because if you let them they'll do it. He clearly was too much of a coward to say it to her face so he had to text it.
Maybe she shouldn't be reading over his shoulder as he sends a text on his own phone to someone who isn't her. It's really not our business what anyone thinks of us. Now she is reliving the words over and over.
Did you read the article? The text was big and brightness high, she didn't mean to see it
Load More Replies...That was his private opinion and he wasn't telling it to her only kept that in private. He could possible write it nicer but why? Is she slim or regular size? I personaly couldn't sniff on someone else texting. This is awfull! Hope she also don't sniffs on pin codes etc. Sniffed it so deal with it and possibly do some workouts. Baby is not an exuse to stay like this forever. Don't lie to yourself that you are happy with it!
Not only that she IS fat (despite what you all in comments say like she is not), but also she is childish whining baby seeking for attention. And she probably smelt like one with full diapers
You should be the poster child for all bullies. Very mature of you. What if that was your sister? Or your mother?
Load More Replies...if this was the other way around, that guy smelt bad and woman couldn't stand his odor, he would be kicked out of the plane right away, and woman would get apologies.
Agree. Who gave her right to read someone else text?

If a friend I'd probably drop them as that's not the type of person I'd want to be friends with and if a family member they'd soon know what I thought. How unnecessary a text like that is.
But five year olds aren’t the only people with a sense of smell. If this woman really smelled bad, then she had no right to inflict that on people around her. If someone smells terrible on an airplane, it makes sense that the other passengers would complain quietly to their friends.

Wait..WHAT? Why are you looking at someone else's texts? This has gone too far. People are too sensitive. They need to toughen up. If she didn't spy on his texts she would never have known that she was being referred to as smelling "fatty". I cannot comprehend. How does someone's private message have anything to do with her? Who knows if that guy wasn't into larger girls? Not only did they make this guy out to be a bad person, but TWO people read his private messages. She and the other guy each need a black eye. To Savannah Phillips, keep your damn nose in front of your own phone. People are entitled to their private conversations and opinions, however offensive they may be.
wow - how unconscious thiS article is - this man has the freedom to write what he wants as long as he is keeping it private - to read other's people text-messages sheds a light onto the other people - maybe we should invent machines reading people's thoughts and as soon as somebody thinks an incorrect thought he gets an electric shock - would that be satisfying enough for all the staff of the concentration camp?
wtf honey you are gorgeous?????? like f**k that dude he's obviously blind.
Holy crud, I can't believe there are people like that creep out there! You are so pretty I cannot comprehend how he could say something so completely unaccurate! You are beautiful, and obviously a kind and sweet soul, don't let his evil bring you down. He is below you.
Wow, what a jerk. 1st of all, YOU'RE NOT THAT BIG! DEFINITELY not anywhere big enough to be an inconvenience to anyone. That jerk was just a very untalented comedian wannabe who is an obvious attention whore and had to make up a story to try and get laughs/attention.. I can tell he is one of those idiots who want to be funny so bad, but can't make real jokes, so he just does unjustified insults, foaming at the mouth for a laugh. YOU ARE GORGEOUS AND THAT MAN WAS A FOOL! I'm just glad there was another man right there to rescue you from that dumb a$$.
I used to be her size.. yeah you are uncomfortable in a plane seat and you definitely are an inconvenience to others, as your legs "spill" under the arm rests and your shoulders are wider than the seats in economy. The guy was an a$$, of course.

Maybe don't read other peoples private texts next time? Woulda been fine. The man didn't say anything to her, was by all means cordial when he sat down. Now the PC Police wants to examine our phones to make sure we aren't talking about fat people. Gimmie a break.
Yet ANOTHER reason that I hate people!! Why TF some people are SO mean, cruel and hateful I will never understand!!! Honey, you ARE beautiful!! HE IS THE UGLY ONE!!
If I saw that guy texting like she did I think I might just try to fart more. "Oh man, how f*****g blind are you, your phone is going to blind the people behind us!" What the hell, they sat me next to an Old person, wth?!" What comes around goes around, and while I live in a glass house I am not afraid to throw those rocks right back at you!
And you'd confirm his thoughts that fat people are gross and smelly. Good thinking.

She probably didn't even smell and he just wrote that to make it sound bad. Also he sounds like he has a thing against over weight people and that's sad as no matter our size we all deserve to be treated with respect. Karma well greet him hopefully.
He’s probably old and has bad eyes. They have those apps that make the font bigger.
Load More Replies...So writing a honest private message to your wife isnt allowed anymore? I dont get it. She is fat anybody can see it on the picture and he only wrote it to his wife. If im not honest to my wife she gets mad ... so what did he do wrobg? Go on the toilet for texting? If she wouldnt have looked on his phone nothing wouldve changed...fatshaming bs. Ppl call me too skinny all day. I dont like being skinny but i cant change it so why should i even bother other peoples response to that? If you are fata dmit or do sonething agaibst it if you dont feel comfortable with it. I really liked boredpanda but it seems to get more and more mainstream b******t: fatshaming, anti antivacciners, anti vegan, sjw, list goes on. Greetings from germany
Harm done by carelessness matter and the man is responsible for it. Something private needs to remain so. No different then if people made inappropriate comments in a 'private' conversation being over heard. HAD this been a different circumstances such as someone picked up the phone intentionally to read it you'd have a point-- not when it's done right in view of people.

Load More Replies...I bet that loser was texting his wife to reassure her he wasn't going to flirt with any female next to him because he probably is a cheating lying SOB with history. Just food for thought as to what would prompt such a cruel move.
Maybe she should walk more instead of being on airplanes for almost 3 weeks in a row... ;-) Video chat has been invented people, and VR meeting are a thing but still people want to make the useless trip, fukin' weird man! No wonder we have global warming!
That was nice of him, but I would have spoken up. No need to let people run over you because if you let them they'll do it. He clearly was too much of a coward to say it to her face so he had to text it.
Maybe she shouldn't be reading over his shoulder as he sends a text on his own phone to someone who isn't her. It's really not our business what anyone thinks of us. Now she is reliving the words over and over.
Did you read the article? The text was big and brightness high, she didn't mean to see it
Load More Replies...That was his private opinion and he wasn't telling it to her only kept that in private. He could possible write it nicer but why? Is she slim or regular size? I personaly couldn't sniff on someone else texting. This is awfull! Hope she also don't sniffs on pin codes etc. Sniffed it so deal with it and possibly do some workouts. Baby is not an exuse to stay like this forever. Don't lie to yourself that you are happy with it!
Not only that she IS fat (despite what you all in comments say like she is not), but also she is childish whining baby seeking for attention. And she probably smelt like one with full diapers
You should be the poster child for all bullies. Very mature of you. What if that was your sister? Or your mother?
Load More Replies...if this was the other way around, that guy smelt bad and woman couldn't stand his odor, he would be kicked out of the plane right away, and woman would get apologies.
Agree. Who gave her right to read someone else text?
