A WOMAN accused of drunkenly flashing her breasts and smoking an e-cigarette on a flight to Hawaii has blamed the flight attendant she was cursing for “having a bad day”.

Kristin Sharp, a 34-year-old real estate agent from Hawaii, was questioned by police after she clashed with a flight attendant during her flight from Las Vegas to Honolulu last week, Hawaii News Now reports.

Ms Sharp admitted she smoked and fought with a flight attendant but denied passenger accounts that she became drunk and threw a can of soda at a crew member on Allegiant Air, an American low-cost airline.

“So I’m apologising that it did happen, but it did not need to get carried to the level that it did. I think he had a bad day and was taking it out on me with a bad attitude,” Sharp said of the flight attendant in an interview with Hawaii News Now.

The trouble started brewing when the flight attendant asked Sharp to stop smoking in a manner that she claims was rude and treated her with “a lack of manners”.

“I was just not happy with being treated poorly,” Sharp said.

Fellow passengers claim Sharp became belligerently drunk during her flight out of Las Vegas. Facebook.

Other passengers told police that Sharp was “drunk and belligerent”, swore, exposed her breasts to the cabin and threw a soda can at the employee. Sharp said she was trying to throw the can in rubbish bin.

“It was an unfortunate incident to have with the flight attendant,” Sharp said.

“However, I do feel that he was very rude to me and there was definitely a lack of manners and etiquette.”

Sharp’s boyfriend, Bryant Clark, was on the flight, too.

“She’s not a criminal by any means,” Clark said.

“She’s a sweetheart, she’s a good person. She was tired. She was a little bit grumpy. I think that the flight attendant wasn’t doing things to de-escalate the situation.”

Witnesses said Sharp fell asleep after the incident. She has not been charged, but the investigation is ongoing.

Allegiant Air said in a statement it could not comment on the incident because it is part of an ongoing investigation. But it did release a statement that said the US Federal Aviation Administration regulations prohibit the use of e-cigarettes while on board an aircraft, and also require that all passengers comply with crew member instructions to ensure the safety of all on board.

In Australia, e-cigarettes including e-cigars and other personal vaporisers containing batteries must be in carry-on baggage only and the use on board and the recharging of these devices is strictly prohibited.
