Clay Aiken Beat Up On Plane By a Woman
You heard of Snakes on a Plane. How about Shakes on a Plane? That's what former American Idol Clay Aiken was doing the whole time on a flight to Tulsa after getting beat up on a plane by some woman.
The 28-year-old singer, who finished second on the popular Fox talent show in 2003, was on a Continental Airlines flight Saturday morning bound for Tulsa International Airport, when he got into an altercation with a female passenger after she complained about his foot on her armrest.
The woman then allegedly gave Aiken a "minor shove" during the dispute, FBI Special Agent Gary Johnson told the newspaper, but that was about the extent of it.
"At that point, the flight crew was able to resolve the situation," he said.
The feds sent the results of its probe to the U.S. Attorney's Office, but since neither passenger interfered with the flight crew, no charges were filed.
While performing later that day at Tulsa's Brady Theater, Aiken quipped onstage about getting roughed up by a girl.
His publicist and manager could not be reached for comment.
American Idol has become the most bet on nonsporting event in history since Aikens appearance on the show.
