Peter Nguyen Engages in Heated Dispute with American Airlines Flight Attendant Over Vaping Allegations

On August 4, during a flight operated by American Airlines from Phoenix to San Francisco, a flight attendant confronted Peter Nguyen. According to PEOPLE, Nguyen posted a video on Instagram that showcased the intense exchange between him and the flight attendant after she accused him of vaping in the plane’s bathroom. In the footage, the flight attendant expressed her concerns about the safety of other passengers and insisted that he cease smoking immediately. “I was actually sitting on the toilet and you were opening the door,” Peter retorted in the video, challenging her authority during the confrontation.

Peter argued that it was inappropriate for her to intrude while he was using the restroom, which prompted him to record their interaction. Although he offered an apology, the flight attendant attempted to seize his phone to halt the recording. However, he quickly pushed back, claiming that she had overstepped her boundaries. He accused her of assault and continued filming as she tried to guide him back to his seat. Peter even mentioned his legal background, stating, “Did you just put your hands on me? She just put her hands on me. I have a lawyer, I am a lawyer,” reinforcing his point that she was in the wrong.
