Hey there, friends. Let’s talk about Mayim Bialik’s recent experience with United Airlines. It seems like things didn’t go so smoothly for her on Sunday, February 10. The beloved actress, who was on the verge of tears, took to Twitter to share her frustrating story with the world. Can you imagine being in her shoes? Let’s dive into what happened.
Here’s what Mayim had to say in her tweet that night: “To the @UnitedAirlines flight attendant who shut the boarding gate in my face. I made my connecting flight in Houston. It was a tight squeeze, but you told me there were plenty of open seats. When you saw my carry-on suitcase, you said there was no room and slammed the door in my face.” Wow, that sounds like a pretty rough situation, right?

Mayim’s Follow-Up Tweets: Questions and Concerns
After that initial tweet, Mayim continued to express her frustration through a series of tweets. She couldn’t understand why she and her “little suitcase” were denied boarding. The star of The Big Bang Theory pointed out that the first-class seat she paid for could have easily accommodated her carry-on, or she would have been happy to sit anywhere else on the plane where there were open seats.
She also noted that there were five other passengers from her connecting flight who were allowed on the plane with carry-on luggage. “Maybe she just doesn’t like The Big Bang Theory,” Mayim joked, adding a bit of humor to an otherwise frustrating situation. But seriously, what was the deal? Why was she treated differently?
Mayim’s Instagram Post: A Deeper Look
Mayim didn’t stop at Twitter. She turned to Instagram to give her followers more details about the aggravating situation. She explained that with seven minutes left, the flight attendant could have made a little more effort, especially since she mentioned there were “plenty of seats open.” Mayim even speculated that maybe the flight attendant was having a bad day or perhaps she just didn’t like women who looked like they were about to cry.
Her followers quickly jumped into the comments section to offer their support and share similar experiences. One fan wrote, “I am so sorry this happened to you. I have only ever experienced misery and migraines at the hands of @united, hang in there.” It’s clear that many people can relate to Mayim’s frustration.

View this post on InstagramOk @united airlines. i know I barely made my connecting flight. But I made it despite your delays making me late. And you turned me away as you let 5 other people on from my connecting flight because I had a carry on suitcase. They had carry ons too. I understand everything was shut but that lady stewardess didn’t have to shut the boarding door like she did in my face without even saying she was sorry. Or with 7 min left she could have made a small effort to try harder since she said there were “plenty of seats open.” Maybe she hates the Big Bang theory. Maybe she was having a bad day. Maybe she hates women who look like they’re going to cry. Now my suitcase is broken from running so hard and aggressively, my asthma is super angry and random people think I’m a prima donna because as she shut the door I said “I have a first class seat!” I didn’t mean I deserve it more, I meant can my suitcase sit in my first class seat and I’ll sit anywhere else? Not a good day for me and @united .
Mayim’s Physical and Emotional Struggles
Mayim shared that her suitcase broke from running so hard and aggressively through the airport, which also triggered her asthma. She was worried that people might think she was being a diva, but she clarified that she simply wanted her suitcase to sit in her first-class seat while she sat elsewhere. “Not a good day for me and @united,” she concluded. Can you imagine how exhausting that must have been for her?
United Airlines responded to Mayim’s ordeal, stating, “We were able to get Ms. Bialik on the next flight to Los Angeles and we are reviewing what happened with our team in Houston.” At least there was some resolution in the end!
