Music legend Diana Ross has enjoyed an illustrious career for over five decades and she has more than earned her right to be revered and respected. However, she feels she was mistreated by a TSA worker who may have gotten a little too aggressive with her as she was preparing to leave New Orleans after a performance. And instead of quietly pushing her feeling aside she took to her social media to put the worker on blast.
‘I Was Treated Like S#!*’
Page Six reports that Diana was in New Orleans for a performance and afterwards, prior to boarding her flight at the airport she encountered an aggressive TSA worker whose security check made her feel anything but ‘safe’ .
“I was treated like s–t,” the 75-year-old music legend wrote in the first of a series of early morning tweets. “Makes me want to cry.”
The “Endless Love” songstress said she was “treated like royalty” in New Orleans — where she performed at the Jazz and Heritage Festival — before her ordeal at the airport.
After Diana’s first tweet she continued to inform her followers about what happened to her, eventually sounding more and more upset with each tweet.
Let me be clear , Not the peiple or Delta BUT TSA , was over the top !!

After she had a chance to calm down following the incident at the airport she posted a video of her performance at the festival singing ‘Stop In The Name Of Love’ followed by a huge shout out to all airport security workers who follow proper procedures.
