Influencer's VERY rude behavior on board 10-hour flight leaves social media in uproar
A woman has been brutally slammed on social media after she filmed herself assembling a meal midway through a flight – which included 'stinky' boiled eggs.
To get her through the 10-hour journey from Los Angeles to Paris, Jess Marra came prepared with several containers filled with various ingredients so she could create a healthy dinner for herself to enjoy while flying.
After the 33-year-old shared footage of herself prepping the meal on the plane, she was stunned to see the clip go viral on Instagram, garnering 1.5 million views and thousands of comments filled with backlash.
'What started as a fun travel moment turned into the international egg scandal of the year,' Jess, who works in digital marketing, told What's The Jam recently.
The video showed her unpacking the various ingredients and assembling a salad – but viewers criticized her for doing so on a busy flight and for including boiled eggs, which can have a pretty poignant smell.
One person commented: 'New fear unlocked: I get on a plane and the person next to me starts making an egg salad.'
'Just because you can eat an egg on a flight doesn't mean you should,' another user agreed.
Someone else added: 'Between the egg, the elbow jabbing into your neighbor, the salad shaking and the "influencing" I am 100 percent annoyed and I'm not on the plane. Just be a normal person and stop trying to gain attention.'
'No one likes you on this flight... no one,' wrote one viewer.
Another user added: 'Sorry honey, but no. Eggs - no. Multiple Tupperware containers no.
'Assembling a salad on the plane no. It's not your kitchen, it's a tiny shared public space in which we all just try to survive.'
'Please take a kind hint from the majority of comments here and leave those boiled eggs at home next time…,' another person agreed.
Someone else commented: 'Nothing wrong with [bringing your own] food but I'd be really cross if the person next to me started bringing out all of this stuff including smelly eggs and peeling avocados.
'What's wrong with a sandwich or something that doesn't require all the mixing and unpacking of ingredients? Inconsiderate.'
Despite the backlash, Jess insisted that her meal didn't smell, saying she doesn't overcook the boiled eggs deliberately to avoid any odor.
The rest of the meal was less offensive, consisting of salad, avocado, berries. and salad dressing – items she grabbed from her fridge for the 'last minute' flight to avoid spending on costly airport or airplane food that she doesn't enjoy.
The LA-native said: 'Despite what the internet thinks, I was discreet in my window seat and kept everything low-key.
'When the flight attendant came around for meal service I politely declined and once everyone around me was settled eating, I got to work.
'No one on the flight seemed to notice or care.
'But once I posted the video on Instagram, all hell broke loose.
'The comments were brutal.
'People were yelling at me for being selfish, inconsiderate, endangering the lives of passengers, and just generally being the worst human ever.
'I was kind of in shock. Was it a little weird I assembled a salad at my seat? Sure.
'Is it the end of the world that I ate an egg on a plane? Certainly not!
'Hard boiled eggs are sold in every airport convenience store and even at Starbucks for people to eat during flights.
'Plane food has a strong odor and, many times, eggs are included in the meal service as well.
'It's not like I unwrapped a tuna melt or started microwaving salmon mid-flight! The internet really ran with it, but in reality, I'm just a hungry girl trying to eat my dinner.'

Disney CEO Bob Iger's dramatic move following LA protests that will be sure to infuriate Trump
Disney CEO Bob Iger is fighting Donald Trump through his women's soccer team, who have publicly protested the ICE raids on Los Angeles and the president's response to riots. Iger - along with his wife and dean of the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism Willow Bay - is the majority shareholder of Angel City FC, who represent Los Angeles in the National Women's Soccer League. Amid controversy over federal law enforcement's appearances at Dodger Stadium, Angel City have been publicly and vociferously in opposition to the president in moves that Deadline reports Iger backed and was 'thoroughly consulted on.' Ahead of their recent match against North Carolina Courage, the organization offered the first 10,000 fans - Angel City regularly leads NWSL in attendance and averaged 19,000 per match in 2024 - a t-shirt with the words 'Immigrant City FC' on the front and 'Los Angeles is for everyone' in English and Spanish. The team has also sold shirts on their website with proceeds going to Castro Immigration Services, who 'serve the immigrant community by providing quality legal counsel on immigration matters and connecting immigrant families to available resources.' Aside from Iger, the club has several liberal celebrities with minority shares, including Eva Longoria, Jessica Chastain and America Ferrara, putting several famous and powerful people at loggerheads with Trump. Angel City FC - along with MLS side LAFC, with whom they share a stadium - have issued statements of support for immigrants but otherwise the city's sports franchises have refrained from commenting. Iger and Bay have made no public statement on the protests, however it appears he not only signed off on it but was briefed on the move every step of the way. Iger - along with his wife and dean of the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism Willow Bay - is the majority shareholder of Angel City FC, who represent Los Angeles in the National Women's Soccer League, who gave out these pro-immigrant t-shirts at a recent match has reached out to the White House for comment. It comes as Iger's day job at Disney has tried to make nice with the second Trump administration on multiple big occasions. Most recently, ABC News has fired star anchor Terry Moran just days after he penned a social media post calling Donald Trump a 'world class hater' and blasting top advisor Stephen Miller as full of 'bile.' A spokesperson for the network confirmed the firing in a statement on Tuesday that specifically cited Moran's post as a 'clear violation' of ABC's policy. 'We are at the end of our agreement with Terry Moran and based on his recent post – which was a clear violation of ABC News policies – we have made the decision to not renew,' the statement read. 'At ABC News, we hold all of our reporters to the highest standards of objectivity, fairness and professionalism, and we remain committed to delivering straightforward, trusted journalism,' the rep added. Moran, 65, was a senior national correspondent at the network. He previously served as ABC's Chief Foreign Correspondent from 2013 to 2018. In May, it was reported ABC News and its parent company Disney have asked the ladies of The View to dial back their constant complaining about President Donald Trump. Ahead of their recent match against North Carolina Courage, the organization offered the first 10,000 fans - Angel City regularly leads NWSL in attendance and averaged 19,000 per match in 2024 - a t-shirt with the words 'Immigrant City FC' on the front and 'Los Angeles is for everyone' in English and Spanish ABC News President Almin Karamehmedovic and Iger made the requests separately, The Daily Beast reported. The daily talk show has been filled with criticisms of the commander-in-chief and his policies, with mostly kind words for Democrats. Iger reportedly expressed his support for the show but made clear it needed to pull back on politics. Prior to that, Moran co-anchored the network's newsmagazine Nightline for eight years. He was ABC News' Chief White Correspondent from 1999 to 2005. Earlier this year, the network paid President Donald Trump a $16 million settlement over his remarks about the president. Stephanopoulos erroneously claimed on-air that the president-elect was found 'liable for rape' - rather than the correct phrasing of sexual abuse - against writer E. Jean Carroll in March. Trump sued Stephanopoulos and the network for defamation soon after the segment aired, accusing the anchor of making the statements with 'malice' and a disregard for the truth. As part of the settlement, Stephanopoulos was forced to issue a public apology. Angel City FC - along with MLS side LAFC, with whom they share a stadium - have issued statements of support for immigrants but otherwise the city's sports franchises have refrained from commenting In 2023, Iger revealed the company will 'quiet the noise' around cultural issues because it has shown to be bad for business. Iger wants to make content that is entertaining, not issue-focused - after The House of Mouse faced backlash over pushing a ' woke agenda'. His comments about focusing on entertainment rather than 'issues' came after a spate of recent box office busts. Among these was the live-action version of The Little Mermaid, Guardians of the Galaxy, Strange World and Lightyear. The Little Mermaid sparked controversy over the casting of Black actress Halle Bailey as the title character, Ariel. Lightyear, released one year ago with a reported budget of $200 million, brought in a modest $226.7 million in worldwide ticket sales. The film could not be shown in 14 Middle Eastern and Asian countries because of its depiction of a same-sex relationship. Since the company has been faced with loss from the Disney+ streaming business, which is expected to become profitable only next year, they have turned to the parks business to soften the blow.

How ALS-stricken Eric Dane saved nepo-baby's acting career after he tanked table read
Eric Dane once saved a Hollywood nepo baby 's acting career after watching him nearly 'tank' his first major role. This week, Ray Nicholson, the nepo baby son of silver screen legend Jack Nicholson, revealed how the ALS-stricken star had lent him a helping hand and showed his support. Nicholson recalled how he 'tanked' an initial table read for their dark comedy Borderline when Dane, 52, reached out to him to save him. At the time, the up-and-coming actor, 33, recalled being worried that the film's leading star Samara Weaving and the director Jimmy Warden were going to fire him. Even though acting talent is in his genes as his father is the iconic Jack Nicholson, 88, and his mother is also a famous actress, Rebecca Broussard, he said he still struggles with imposter syndrome. This comes shortly after the Euphoria star's alleged girlfriend claimed she was 'blindsided' by his red carpet debut with his new romance amid his ALS battle. 'I just have the saboteur in me,' Nicholson told Us Weekly in an interview published on Friday before reflecting on how his acting career was almost in danger. 'You know, I think that all of us are in our own struggle,' he said while opening up about how he used to question his choice of career. 'And part of it is coming to terms with who you are and what you are. 'And I had the saboteur and I've worked on it so hard and now I see that even when I say that I'm nervous, what I was actually communicating was the first tiny action towards saying, like, "I'm gonna screw this up. I am not good enough."' In Borderline, Nicholson portrays Paul, an escaped mental patient stalking a famous pop star (Weaving) in the hopes of making her his bride. 'When we first started, we did this table read that I totally tanked,' Nicholson recalled before adding that he did jumping jacks in the bathroom to hype himself up and get through the table read with a bunch of experienced actors he looks up to. 'I totally tanked this table read,' he continued. 'And I was looking at Samara look at her husband, [director Jimmy Warden], being like, "Oh my God, this kid is going to ruin your movie."' Then, he gushed about Dane, one of his costars and 'favorite people to work with,' who he said reached out to him afterwards. 'Eric came to me after and he was like, "Hey, wanna grab lunch?" And I was like, "Yes!" He was so kind and loving and supportive.' He said Dane, who plays the security guard Bell in the film and is who he called an 'empowering and giving scene partner,' reassured him after moments of self-doubt. He recalled telling Dane at their lunch date that he was the 'most nervous' to work with him in the movie. 'I was like, "Dude, honestly, I'm so nervous. Like, I'm the most nervous to work with you, you know, because you have all this experience with all this tape."' Nicholson said that Dane surprised him with his response. 'He's like, "No, dude, I'm nervous to work with you!" And it was this sweet moment. It was like he was just somebody that I could lean on the whole time.' Nicholson added: 'I really love him a great deal.' Later, the young actor reflected on why he wanted to follow in his parents shoes and become an actor. 'What I love about this job is it's the thing that tests me the most. After that table read, I learned something about myself,' he said. 'It's like I don't have the power to examine myself, but somehow, with every job, with every character, it requires something new. It requires something that I didn't know that I had.' Nicholson also spoke about comparing himself to his Oscar-winning actor father and reflected on how he went on a journey to defeat his 'biggest fears and insecurities' before working on Borderline with Dane. He also addressed his 'nepo baby' status.

I don't know. Is that a good thing? Is that a bad thing? It's all of these things,' he said. 'Ultimately, I do know, by going step by step on this journey, I begin to understand [my dad] even more. And in a weird way, he becomes more human to me. I understand him more and it makes me love him more, even if we don't necessarily talk about it.' Borderline is a comedy thriller film that centers on a '90s pop superstar, who is portrayed by Weaving, when her home is invaded by an obsessive fan who believes they are meant to get married. After the helplessly romantic sociopath escaped from a mental institution and breaks into her Los Angeles home, a bodyguard (Dane) must protect the pop star and her athlete boyfriend from the increasingly determined stalker. The movie was released in March 14 and is available on streaming services now.

Roger Moore's favourite James Bond car hits auction… but the motor used in an iconic chase scene is not an Aston Martin
Douglas Simpson Published: Invalid Date, BOND star Roger Moore's favourite James Bond car, seen in iconic chase seen, is due to be auctioned. It's not a vintage Aston Martin due to sell but a small French hatchback used in the iconic For Your Eyes Only chase scene. 8 8 The tiny Citroen 2CV is currently available for purchase after it was rescued from a French scrapyard. Six of the little motors were destroyed during the filming of the chase scene. This is the only one of the six to ever be offered up for sale at auction. A month long online bidding war has been started for the little car with bids already reaching $120,000 or £89,000. It's hoped that the motor will fetch a price of about $500,000 or £370,000 by the time bidding closes on July 17. The iconic chase scene featuring the little 2CV sees Moore jump into the passenger seat of Melina Havelock's (Carole Bouquet) Citroen to escape the gun fire of villain Hector Gonzalez's goons. In the ensuing chaos of the chase the 2CV ends up flipping onto its roof to avoid a bus. It's then flipped back onto four wheels by Bond and some helpful locals before fleeing once again. The small 2CV is eventually rolled down a hill by one of the pursuing Peugeot's, ending up partially crushed before being reversed off towards a sharp turn by 007. In the iconic chase scene Bond takes the tiny Citroen off-road through olive groves and says the famous line: "I love a drive in the country, don't you?" Iconic 90s Ferrari Jeremy Clarkson dubbed the 'greatest car in the world, ever' up for sale for eye-watering price Six bright yellow 2CV's were left damaged in the filming process of the chase scene which sees Bond jump one over the last pursuing Peugeot. The 2CV up for auction is one of only three to avoid complete destruction. All three surviving 2CVs received a few dents and scrapes with the model up for auction boasting a missing headlight and a fair few scratches in the paintwork. The models used for filming were fitted with more powerful engines not available in standard 2CVs. Standard 2CVs were powered by a 602cc flat-twin engine mustering around 33bhp. 8 The six Bond vehicles used in filming featured a larger 1.1-litre engine that was lifted from the Citroën GS. No roll cage was fitted to the one up for auction as it was used specifically for driving shots with Moore and Bouquet. Moore gave a Top Gear interview stating the little French hatchback was his favourite Bond car writing later in his memoir about the fun he had driving the small motor. The three surviving motors were split up after filming with one sold off to a UK collector. One was taken by Citroen for the firm's private collection and the third, which is now up for auction, was sent to a recycling facility in Paris. The famous little car was rescued from the scrapyard and sold to its current owner in 2004. It has been fitted with replacement yellow doors and boot lid, yellow roof, and seats. The car is being sold for display purposes only and is not considered to be roadworthy. A certificate of authenticity will be provided to the winning bidder. 8 8 Car Auctions: How To Nab A Bargain Car auctions are a way to sell vehicles based on a bidding system with the highest offer securing the deal. Auctions aren't restricted to the rich and famous as thousands of cars are sold at motor auctions in the UK each week. Here's what you need to know before attending an auction: Be prepared: Do your research on the car you would like to purchase beforehand. Check the car: Cars will usually be lined up before the start, so make sure to arrive early to inspect the desired car thoroughly. Have a back-up: Be ready for disappointment as your desired motor may be sold to someone else and select a few back-ups. Be realistic: Realise that there won't be a "perfect" car at an auction and adjust expectations accordingly. Set a budget: It is easy to overspend in the heat of the moment during bidding. Ensure you have set a budget and do not go over it. Key phrases to look out for: 'No major mechanical faults' – suggests that there shouldn't be any issues with the car's drivetrain, gearbox, suspension, or engine. 'Specified faults' – the auctioneer will read out specific faults. 'Sold as seen' – the vehicle is sold with any problems it may have. The auction company will rarely entertain complaints regarding the mechanical or cosmetic condition of these vehicles after sale. 'Sold with a warranted mileage' - The car is being offered based on the report, which confirms the mileage through an independent check.
