90 Day Fiance Feud: Jon Walters Calls Jesse Meester a Small-Dicked, Abusive Beta!!

90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days star Jon Walters is super in love with Rachel Bear. In fact, Jon and Rachel are married . But while Jon may be happy with his relationship, he doesn’t think anything at all of another couple on the show — Darcey Silva and Jesse Meester. Jon told fans exactly what he thinks of Jesse. Normally you have to wait for the reunion to see one star destroy another like this. So, context: Jon and Rachel took baby Lucy to Stonehenge on last year’s Winter Solstice. Often seen as a secular holiday, it is also a religious one, and Stonehenge is made available for druids and other people of faith for whom the day and site are sacred. When Jon and Rachel shared this photo with their Instagram followers, fans praised the picture and the couple … and began to discuss how they feel tired of Darcey and Jesse’s storyline. While fans seemed to agree that they don’t care for the couple, they were divided over whether Darcey or Jesse is to blame. Jon shared his own opinion within the comments, and he had no uncertainty. “If she had a man she who builds her up, loved her and treated her with respect, she wouldn’t be nearly as broken,” Jon asserts. “Jesse is an abusive man with huge insecurities,” Jon declares. He is referring to Jesse’s behavior, which many fans and viewers have said is emotionally abusive. He then speculates that this is “probably because he skinny, used to have acne, and has a tiny d–k.” Jon concludes his disparaging assessment by announcing: “He’s a pathetic beta.” Wow . The alleged size of Jesse Meester’s penis notwithstanding, Jon is far from the only one disgusted with the Dutch model’s behavior. Darcey and Jesse’s trip the United States should have been a romantic visit to the place that they both hoped they’ll one day live as husband and wife. Instead, the two of them seemed to spend every waking moment arguing. They argued over grocery lists, how to correctly cut a steak, and debated whether Darcey stepped on Jesse’s sneakers on purpose or it was an accident. We know that it’s a reality show, and that producers can be selective and only show the worst moments. But no couple should be arguing like this. Period. Many believe that Jesse’s youth and good looks are behind his rudeness — that he doesn’t respect Darcey because she’s older. Others think that he’s just … like this. Entertainingly, TLC shaded Jesse earlier this month with a tweet about his trip back to the airport. “During the ride to JFK, Darcey had to slam the brakes,” TLC’s tweet reads. “Jesse hit his face against the sun visor because he was checking himself out in the mirror.” Despite their deeply toxic arguments, the two of them left things on a good note when Darcey sent Jesse on his way at the airport. They hugged and, for worse or for worst, seem to be very much in love. Some 90 Day Fiance viewers are not quite aware of how deep these arguments run. Jesse and Darcey have been seen quarreling on social media, and even appeared to break up a few times only to, days later, insist that they were still a couple. Even if you believe that Darcey is just as much to blame as Jesse, these two seem to be a toxic combination — like bleach and vinegar. We’re glad that Jon didn’t mince words about Jesse. Jon and Rachel seem to have found their happily ever after and fans really like them as a couple. Who says that a couple has to be dramatic to be popular with viewers? Sometimes, people want to see a success story. View Slideshow: 90 Day Fiance Before The 90 Days: Meet the New Couples!

Beyonce Is an Evil, Kitten-Murdering Witch, Former Drummer Claims

Beyonce has been called a lot of things over the course of her career — a legend, an icon, a tasty hors-d’oeuvr e for D-list actresses  … But now, it seems Queen Bey can add yet another accolade to her long list of honors — all-powerful witch goddess. That’s the strange claim made in court documents filed by Kimberly Thompson, a former drummer for Beyonce who now wants a restraining order against the singer. In the filing, which was first obtained by The Blast and later verified by Pitchfork , Thompson requests protection from Bey, claiming that her former boss has been known to use “extreme witchcraft” and “magic spells of sexual molestation.” We assume “extreme witchcraft” is when you cast spells while bungee-jumping or something. Believe it or not, Thompson’s claims get even more bonkers from there. The drummer says that during her seven years working with Bey, the pop legend manipulated her finances with witchcraft and even “murdered” her kitten. Kimberly didn’t go into any detail on that latter claim, so we don’t know if Beyonce hit the kitten with an avada   kedavra spell, or simply dashed its head on a rock the old-fashioned way. Thompson is a highly-respected musician, and in addition to her time with Beyonce, she’s released several albums and performed with the Late Night With Seth Meyers house band. That may be why her restraining order petition sounds like something from a rambling Fred Armisen improv. Not surprisingly, Thompson’s request was declined, probably because judges are pretty much always skeptical about claims of supernatural activity, right until a couple ghosts they sentenced to the electric chair come bursting into the courtroom, a la Ghostbusters 2 . Unless that happens, we’re guessing Thompson’s complaints will remain unacknowledged by our legal system. All kidding aside, a note to the Bey Hive: We know you’re angry that Thompson attempted to besmirch your queen’s legacy, but please do not attack this woman on social media. Our guess is that she’s suffering from some sort of mental illness or is at least going through a very difficult time, and threatening emojis from 100,000 strangers probably won’t help her condition.

Jinger Duggar Ignores Trolls, Shares Special New Baby Pic

Jinger Duggar is here to stick it to the haters. Okay, maybe not. Maybe the beloved TLC star is just here to share a special photo of her daughter with followers. But we’d like to think she got a tad bit of pleasure from her latest posting as well. We say this because Jinger has come under a ridiculous barrage of ridicule of late due to a couple ways in which she has dressed her adorable little girl, Felicity. Earlier this week, Duggar published what appeared to be a very innocent snapshot of the infant, only to be hit with one comment after another from trolls who were aghast that Felicity was wearing mittens. “Those mitts are so stupid. They need to self-soothe and they can’t with those mitts… get them off,” some huge loser actualluy wrote , while another agreed and added as a remark: “Free the hands! Better for her development.” Nevermind, apparently, that the American Academy of Pediatrics, often recommend babies wear mittens in order to avoid scratching their face with their nails. Elsewhere, haters have given Felicity a hard time for typically including a headband or scarf on top of Felicity’s precious noggin. This is less a complaint based on anything health-related or emotion-related; folks simply think it’s a lame look. Consider the following Instagram following, for example: To her credit, however, Jinger has risen above it all. She has taken the high road. She hasn’t responded to any of these misguided and/or cruel remarks… she’s simply continued to dress her child however she sees fit. The latest case in point? This picture below, which Jinger shared in honor of Felicity turning two months old. We love that she included the headwear in it! “She’s all smiles these days,” Jeremy Vuolo recently told fans of how well Felicity has been doing, as he and Jinger simply can’t stop gushing over their kid. Not that we’re about to blame them. Not at all. Along with hearts and a baby emoji, Jinger wrote the following as a caption to this image: She’s 2 months already?! #timeflies #felicitynicolevuolo #2months2days . A handful of followers, meanwhile, took note of the timestamp on the photo and just had to give Jinger some props, with one individual writing: “You know you’re the mommy of a 2-month-old when it’s nearly 4:30 in the morning and you’re making Instagram posts.” This actually led to a response from Duggar: “You are exactly right.” HA! We love it. And we can just imagine millions of women around the world nodding in agreement right about now. Stated Jinger and Jeremy back in July, when their firstborn first entered their lives: “God is so kind!. Jinger gave birth to Felicity Nicole Vuolo this morning at 4:37 am.” And then they laid out her stats: “Felicity weighs 8lbs. and 3oz. and is 19.5 inches long. Both mom and baby are healthy, doing great, and resting well. “We are very thankful for her safe arrival and look forward to life as parents.” View Slideshow: Duggar Daughters’ Raciest Outfits Revealed: What Dress Code?!

Counting On Recap: Jinger Duggar Learns She’s Having a Girl!

Counting On suffers from the same problem as so many reality shows nowadays, in that its stars are so famous and so popular on social media that it’s very easy to stay up to speed with what’s going on in their lives. Some have argued that these circumstances render reality TV obsolete, but Counting On remains as popular as ever, and last night’s episode provided some potent reminders of why that is. The installment served up major developments on different fronts, as the two most rebellious Duggar siblings each prepared for the next stage in their life. Back in July,  Jinger Duggar welcomed her first child , a girl named Felicity. But at the time that Monday’s episode was filmed, the young couple was still clueless as to the baby’s sex. “There was a lot of anticipation waiting to find out the gender,” Jinger told the cameras of prior to her doctor’s appointment. “Who’s the baby going to look like? We were both so thrilled.” Jeremy — clearly overwhelmed by seeing an image of his daughter for — struggled to put the profound moment into words. “That’s incredible,” he said at one point. “This was my first time ever being in an ultrasound, and the fact it’s my child was astonishing,” Vuolo later added. “I was almost at a loss for words.” Despite some initial misgivings, Jeremy and Jinger opted to find out the baby’s gender as early as possible, and lucky for us, the emotional moment was caught on camera. “We opted not to be surprised so maybe we could have more time to reflect on the name, and maybe down the road we may choose to be surprised,” Vuolo said. “When the technician told us what we were having, we were both overjoyed,” Jinger told the cameras. “We just could not believe it.” Just a few months later Felicity Nicole Vuolo entered the world at 8lbs. and 3oz.  And so far, fans have continued to share in every moment of her young life. Of course, Jinger and Jeremy weren’t the only ones gearing up for a life-changing moment on last night’s show. Josiah Duggar and Lauren Swanson got married  in June, and on Monday’s Counting On, fans got a peek at the preparations as Lauren attempted to find the perfect dress for the occasion. The Duggars and their fundamentalist community are typically very big on gender roles, but Lauren broke with tradition by bringing her dad along on her dress-shopping excursion. “Before Josiah came into the picture, my dad was my very best friend,” Lauren told the cameras. “He was someone I always would talk to about anything if anything was wrong, and I really value my dad’s opinion.” Of course, there are downsides to shopping with the guy who’s footing the bill: “I really wanted him to be part of it. My dad will probably be more concerned about the price, just knowing my dad,” Lauren said. “He’s very frugal. I don’t necessarily like to pick the expensive things. I don’t tend, to but that happens.” Clearly, Lauren’s not as conservative as the Duggars — so it’s a good thing that she found happiness with the most non-traditional of the Counting On clan.

Duggar Family: Seriously, Can Someone Marry Jana Already?

If you follow the Duggar family closely, then we probably don’t need to tell you that Jana Dugger is still single . Normally, it wouldn’t be a big deal that a 28-year-old woman had yet to find Mr. Right, especially when that woman has as much going on in her life as Jana. She’s a reality star, as well as an expert gardener and home repair enthusiast. She pitches in with flipping houses and cars as part of the family business, and she serves as a second mother to her many, many younger siblings. But Jana was raised in a family that believes procreation is a woman’s primary reason for being . And so the efforts to marry Jana off are becoming more and more ambitious with each passing year. The Duggars haven’t gone so far as to create a profile for Jana on Christian Mingle, but some fans think they came pretty close with their latest Facebook post: “Our sweet Jana! She loves to serve others and has a heart of gold!” Jim Bob and Michelle captioned the photo above. Yes, she loves to serve others almost as much as she hates close-ups. Seriously, what’s going on with this picture? Drone surveillance cameras get closer to their subjects than this. Are they trying to find a suitor for Jana without her knowledge and using some sort of Melania-style body double for the pics? We guess that might work. After all, single Duggar women aren’t allowed to use social media , which means Jana has never known the joy of scrolling through a timeline and growing increasingly angry that all her high school friends are taking cooler vacations than she is. We kid, Jana doesn’t have any high school friends — she never went to high school! In all seriousness, this is probably just the Duggars offering what may be a much-needed self-esteem boost to their eldest daughter. After all, it can’t be easy to be the single girl in a family that prioritizes marriage and procreation above all else. Some folks think the Duggars want Jana to remain single so that she can continue to help around the house. That may have been true at one point, but as their youngest kids reach maturity, Jim Bob and Michelle would probably like to see Jana start a family of her own. But at least they’re taking the time to show her some appreciation in the meantime. View Slideshow: Jana Duggar: 13 Reasons Why … is She Still Single?

Mac Miller Tribute: See What the Rapper’s Mom Just Shared

Mac Miller’s mother has shared a beautiful tribute to her late son. Days after the rapper was shockingly found dead at the age of 26 , due to a suspected drug overdose, Karen Meyers has shared a very simple, albeit very telling and special, picture of her child. You can see it here: In the picture uploaded to Instagram, Meyers and her son (whose real name was Malcolm McCormick) are smiling together at a Pittsburgh Pirates baseball game. It’s unclear when the snapshot was taken. But it’s evident why this one was used by Karen to pay tribute to the late rapper. As you can see, Miller is leaning his head against his mom’s and making a funny face; she captioned the photo with a broken heart emoji. And she did so not long after Ariana Grande posted a similar tribute to her long-time boyfriend, a couple months after the stars split and about 48 hours after Miller was found dead. This is the photo Grande shared on social media: She did not pen a caption with it. Miller battled substance abuse issues for years prior to his passing. He was frequently open his addiction, just as Grande was open about the fact that Miller’s problems played a significant role in a relationship that eventually became too “toxic” for her to remain a part of. In the wake of Miller’s overdose, a handful of terrible Internet users dared to blame Grande for Miller’s fatal actions . They also wondered why Ariana did not immediately wrote anything online in response to the tragedy. As if it’s any of their business and as if we should ever judge anyone about how they mourn a loved one. On Friday evening, Miller’s family released a statement about the 26-year old’s death. It reads: “Malcolm McCormick, known and adored by fans as Mac Miller, has tragically passed away at the age of 26. He was a bright light in this world for his family, friends and fans. Thank you for your prayers. “Please respect our privacy. There are no further details as to the cause of his death at this time.” An endless array of musicians have since shared their own thoughts about Miller’s passing, but we’re going to note John Mayer’s message below. The artist only just posted it to Instagram late Saturday night and it stands out for its lengthy and personal nature. This is what Mayer wrote about Miller: This was going to be Mac Miller’s year. He made a quantum leap in his music. That’s incredibly hard to do, to evolve and get better and more focused while your career is already underway. You don’t get there without a lot of work, and Mac had put the work in. I didn’t expect to play on his album the day he played some songs for me at his house, but when I heard “Small Worlds,” I gave it a short, chirpy little “yup,” which is the highest praise I can give a track. It means we don’t need to say another word, it’s going down. I grabbed the nearest guitar in the room and within a couple of hours we had finished a tune that made me so incredibly happy to have a part in, not to mention we established a nice little friendship. He was so funny I just kind of stopped typing “LOL” back in our texts. Mac was, to me, on permanent LOL status. I gave him whatever guidance I thought I had the right to, having been through the press ringer in the past and wanting him to understand that none of that noise could ever really take a bite out of the music he was about to put out. The last time I saw him, he was playing Hotel Cafe’ in Los Angeles for a crowd of 100 people. He was nervous, and honest about it with the audience. I thought that was so endearing, especially seeing as he would go on to play one of the best sets I’d seen in a very long time. His band was unreal. You gotta know that if you weren’t familiar with Mac Miller, you were about to be, whether you would have seen him at a festival, or a friend was going to catch a show and tell everyone they knew about it (like I did.) Mac put in the work. He made his best album and formed the band that was weeks away from becoming a breakout live sensation. Believe me when I say that. I send my love and support to everyone who knew him better, because what relative little I did, I just adored. May Mac Miller rest in peace. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2018: In Memoriam

Noah Cyrus and Lil Xan: It’s Over… and It’s Very Ugly!

It’s all over for Noah Cyrus and Lil Xan. The romance between these stars, that is. But the accusations of infidelity being hurled back and forth? Those are just beginning. The artists had only been together for a month or so, with Cyrus quick to correct some rumors about the now-failed romance upon alerting her 4.4 million Instagram followers that it has come to an end. “first and foremost: this relationship was not set up by Columbia Records. to say that is [a] joke,” the 18-year old wrote late Monday, adding: “it started when I got a DM from Diego [Lil Xan’s real name is Diego Leanos] and he asked me to hang out. the truth is I haven’t seen him in almost a week. every time we tried to hang out something always got in the way.” So it sounds like the relationship didn’t work because of timing and scheduling issues, right? WRONG! Lil Xan, who sources claim is some kind of rapper, wrote yesterday that he was “probably cheated on,” while Cyrus even broke down in tears on her Story. Noah later explained that she “noticed a hickey” on her boyfriend’s neck during a recent FaceTime call. AWKWARD! “he told me it was just a bruise,” she wrote. “i decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and ignored it.” The actress continued: “cheaters like to accuse their partners of cheating to make themselves feel less guilt. “this isn’t the first time this has happened to me and now im being forced to deal with crazy accusations when im not even sure where all this came from.” Cyrus went on explain that, in her view, she was there for Lil Xan “dark times.” She added: “when you felt alone and like no one was there for you, I was. if this was your way of breaking up with me and breaking my heart along with it, then you’ve succeeded.” Damn. Poor Noah. Where does Lil Xan fall on the issue of cheating? On the opposite side of Cyrus, that’s for sure. He shared a photo of Cyrus with her arms wrapped around another man and captioned the post: “call me whatever but if you my girl you ain’t touching no dude like that sorry haha.” In a video posted on his story, Lil Xan concluded: “It just hurts, like, so f-cking bad. You think you know somebody, and then you just get used.” The stars have since unfollowed each other on Instagram. It really does appear to be over, folks.

Selena Gomez: Living Her Best Life Without Justin Bieber!

While Justin Bieber’s engagement to Hailey Baldwin has been making waves, Selena Gomez has been quietly teasing her “very honest” new album . Some feared that seeing her on-again, off-again get engaged just a few months after their breakup would be a devastating blow. Instead, it sounds like her life is better than ever with him out of the picture. InTouch Weekly reports that a source close to Selena says that the actress and singer is living her best life now that she’s Biebs-free. “Selena’s on-again, off-again relationship with Justin left her a nervous wreck,” the insider shares. We can only imagine the impact that his well-documented bad behavior and alleged substance abuse struggles had on her for years. “Now that she’s accepted that it’s over for good,” the source reveals. “She actually feels relieved to close that chapter of her life.” The insider continues: “For the first time in years, she feels free.” “She’s distanced herself from her old Hollywood life,” the source divulges. “And,” the insider continues, Selena has shifted away from “the fake friends that came with it.” When you’re a talented, beautiful celebrity, people are going to want to cling to you on the offchance that it could one day benefit them. Now, the source says, “She only surrounds herself with genuine people who love her for who she is.” That is good. Your squad should always support you for who you are, not for what you can do for them. So, in addition to working on her new album (I cannot wait!), what exactly is Selena reportedly up to now that she’s no longer exchanging bodily fluids with Justin? The insider explains that Selena “spends most of her free time enjoying relaxing dinners or hanging by the pool with pals.” Well, presumably she doesn’t spend all that much time with dinner. It only happens once a day. But we get the picture. “Selena has grown up a lot,” the source adds. “And feels so much more comfortable in her own skin.” It fills our hearts with joy and peace to hear that Selena has finally been able to put Justin Bieber behind her in a non-sexual context. We’re not saying that we’re jumping for joy at the idea of Hailey Baldwin, at 21 years of age, linking her life to Justin Bieber’s — potentially for decades to come. But it is good to see that Selena has outgrown Justin and knows it. Exes plant their hooks in your heart. Time makes it seem like the bad times weren’t so bad, until all that you remember are the good times. That’s how they get you. Now, it looks like Selena has moved on. Finally, Justin has no hold on her. With all of that said, we should say that we’re reluctant to take reports on Selena’s state of mind at face value unless they come from, you know, Selena herself. Especially when it’s good news, like this is. We always want to believe that our favorite celebrities are living their best lives. We will say that we absolutely hope that this is true. And, again, that we are really looking forward to new music from Selena. View Slideshow: Justin Bieber: All His Sexual Conquests, RANKED!

Kailyn Lowry: I Want to Move Away from ALL My Baby Daddies!

Sometimes life doesn’t work out quite like you’d always imagined. Plans change, things happen, and suddenly you’re in a difficult situation you’d never prepared for. Like, OK, say you’re a teenage girl, right? You have a very difficult home life but a pretty cool boyfriend, and you wind up pregnant. You have the baby, break up with the boyfriend, and spend the next few years getting settled into being an adult and raising your kid. But then you meet another guy, and you marry him, then you have a child together. Sounds pretty cool so far, but after some years go by, the marriage ends up falling apart , and you get a divorce. After that, you start hooking up with an old friend, but guess what — you’re pretty fertile, it seems, and so you get pregnant again. And just like that, you have three kids with three different men, and luckily they all want to be involved in their children’s lives, but that does make things pretty darn complicated . Surprise, you’re Kailyn Lowry! Kailyn is originally from Pennsylvania, and that’s where she met Jo Rivera, the father of her first child, Isaac. They broke up and eventually she met Javi Marroquin — they moved to Delaware when the Air Force stationed him in Dover, then got married and had little Lincoln. Jo and his girlfriend, Vee, moved to Dover as well so they could be closer to Isaac. After Kailyn and Javi split, she started hooking up with Chris Lopez, a friend of hers from college — they both attended Delaware State University, which is located in Dover. She got pregnant, and she claims the pregnancy was planned , and that’s when baby Lux came into the picture. So after a series of choices made over several years, she has found herself with three children who have three different fathers, and every single person involved lives in Dover. And she’s just not down with that. “I wanna move outta Dover,” she complained on Twitter over the weekend. “Middletown or Newark. There’s nothingggggg in Dover for me.” She added three crying emojis, so you know she’s really distressed about the situation. On one hand, it’s not like she’s talking about moving across the country or anything. Middletown and Newark are both in Delaware, and neither is more than an hour away from where she lives now. But on the other hand, saying there’s nothing in Dover for her is really not the truth. Don’t worry though, Twitter was very quick to call her out on everything. “Your location is not about you at this stage,” one person told her. “Thought you were more grown than this and would’ve known that.” “Wait until your kids are older,” another advised. “It’s not just about you.” One of her followers said “Your kids have their dads in Dover and they are what matters,” and someone else told her not to be “selfish.” Other people left comments like “Cuz you’ve literally ‘done’ everything and everyone.” “What’s wrong?” another super classy reply read. “No men left in Dover you haven’t screwed?” Look, there are tons of reasons why Kailyn might want to leave the city she’s currently in, and if she’s just thinking about moving to another city in that tiny, tiny little state, then it’s really not a huge deal. Could she have worded her tweet a little differently? View Slideshow: Kailyn Lowry: Does She Have the Best Sex Life of All the Teen Moms? Yeah, sure. But again, it’s sincerely not a big deal.

Mechanic Steals Airplane, Crashes to Death In Puget Sound

A bizarre and tragic story unfolded on Friday night in and around Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. According to various outlets, as well as footage captured by stunned pedestrians, an airport mechanic hijacked a plane around 8 p.m., flew it around for about an hour… … and then crashed into the Puget Sound in Washington, killing himself in the process. The man, who was referred to as Rich by air traffic control personnel in various exchanges that have been made public, worked for Alaska Air Horizon and allegedly stole a Horizon Air Q400, shutting down the airport for a brief period of time. In a statement released on Twitter last night, Sea-Tac Airport officials confirmed the reports of an “unauthorized takeoff,” saying in full: “An airline employee conducted an unauthorized takeoff without permission at Sea-Tac; aircraft has crashed in south Puget Sound. Normal operations at Sea-Tac Airport have resumed.” The incident is not considered to have been a terrorist act of any kind. Instead, based on the aforementioned traffic control exchanges, it appears to have been a suicidal act by a troubled individual. “Male is confirmed a suicidal male. Acted alone he is 29-year-old Pierce county residence [sic],” the Pierce County Sheriff Department Tweeted late Friday. This photo is from Twitter. It was taken by a witness on the ground to thia strange incident. The drama actually played out live over air traffic control monitoring sites. In audio recordings of the incident posted on Broadcastify, Rich can be heard talking to air traffic controllers as they try to guide him to land the plane. “I’ve got a lot of people that care about me, and it’s going to disappoint them to hear that I did this,” the man says. “I would like to apologize to each and every one of them. Just a broken guy, got a few screws loose, I guess. Never really knew it until now.” It’s terrifying and upsetting to listen to. Earlier in the flight, the man says: “This is probably like jail time for life, huh? I mean, I would hope it is, for a guy like me.” “Well,” a controller replies, “we’re not going to worry or think about that. But could you start a left-hand turn, please?” Throughout the back-and-forths, controllers are calmly trying to steer the man away from any place where he could cause damage by landing or crashing the plane. They are trying to save his life and also the lives of everyone underneath his flight path. “Let’s get you on the ground so you don’t hurt anyone,” someone identified as Captain Bill tells Rich. As Rich flew over the water, a pair of F-15 fighter jets were dispatched to intercept the plane; neither were involved in the eventual crash landing. The plane was seen by a number of witnesses doing stunts before crashing, as witnesses shared videos of the low-flying aircraft on social media. “Some dude stole a plane from #Seatac (Allegedly),” Tweeted one witness, adding: “did a loop-the-loop, ALMOST crashed into #ChambersBay, then crossed in front of our party, chased by fighter jets and subsequently crashed. Weird times.” Weird times, but mostly sad and tragic times in this case. The plane was taken from a maintenance position and was not scheduled for a passenger flight, said Gary Beck, Horizon Air’s president and chief executive officer. An investigation is underway to determine more, but it is not believed that anyone outside of the pilot/mechanic was harmed. “Our hearts are with the families of the individual aboard as well as all of our Alaska Air and Horizon Air employees,” said Constance von Muehlen, the airline’s chief operating officer.
