Police say Ivana Trump was escorted off a plane in Florida after she became belligerent when children were running and screaming in the aisles. Authorities say the first ex-wife of billionaire Donald Trump cursed at the children Saturday, and when flight attendants on the New York-bound plane tried to calm her, she became even more aggravated.Her spokeswoman, Catherine Saxton, did not immediately return a telephone message.
Trump filed for divorce from her fourth husband earlier this month. She has not been charged in the incident at Palm Beach International Airport.
Palm Beach County sheriff's deputies asked Trump to voluntarily exit the plane, but they said she refused. She was then escorted off.

Doesn't Ivana have her OWN jet?

I agree with most of these people. the kids should not have been allowed to run around in the plane

She probably started out ticked off because her "ex" wouldn't let her use one of his corporate jets. I've never seen kids running wild in first class. You really have to be behaving outrageously for the Captain to have you escorted off of his plane. Love it when these worthless bejewled toad are forced to eat some humbled pie.

While the children may have been aggravating, it is up to us adults to not throw a tantrum in response to that aggravation. Ivana's anger toward the children's behavior was followed by belligerence toward the plane crew and sheriffs, and that is childish. That was the time to show control and maturity, not a time to lose it and act out.

You can bring a bomb on a plane..but GOD FORBID you tell some unruly children to get back to their seats. I don't blame the kids. Kids are kids. We've all been there one time or another. I blame parents who don't think the rules are for their "special snowflake". Makes ya want to gag. I'd even venture to say guess..and yes, it's only a guess. Yet I bet she cursed..probably at the parents and not the snowflakes..thus the removal from the flight. Personally, I'd like to know what airline it is, so I don't fly it either.

I agree the parents of these little rug rats should have been the ones escorted off the plane!! I had an incident this holiday season, while trying to wait on customers, I had both parents in our store and the kid was screaming at the top of his lungs and MOm and Dad just stood there and did nothing. Mean while I had other customers as well as myself, annoyed as hell to the point I looked at the parents and went exxcuuuuuse me, hello, your kids!!!!!!!!! Parents get a griop on your kids in PUBLIC or leave them at HOME with a baby sitter....

What I don't understand is, After being married 4 times , and Donald being the second Husband, Why is she still going by the Trump name? She Married 2 men after him.

What kind of a parent would let their children run wild like that? Ivana should have called a flight attendant and ask to stop the noise. What is the name of the Airline? I would not want to be flying with that kind of behavior going on. It won't be long before these kids get in more trouble with the law. SHAME ON THE PARENTS

smack the little brats and then smack the parents. in this case Ivana was right!

Yes. Kids will be kids. I was a kid once. BUT....I was raised to respect my elders. Children today have know idea what respect is. Parents spend no time with their children these days. How dare they set them loose in public for us to deal with. I have seen pets that behave better than kids do. Allow pets in the cabin and crate the unruly brats. Here is a novell idea. PARENTS BE PARENTS!!! Put the little monsters in a kennel and take a nice quiet vacation.AAHHH SILENCE.

Simple fact is Ivana should not be cussing at children! Good for the airline for throwing her off....She is a grown women and should control her self.....

Besides parental control, one must wonder why the children were in the first class section? Hardly think Ivana was flying coach!

We fly in and out of Orlando, & the planes are full of kids because of the Disney destination. We cringe every time, but most times the kids are well-behaved. However, a long flight with unruly children could drive anyone crazy. Why were the kids on Trump's flight allowed to run rampant? She was better off (no pun intended), in the end. I hope she gets some satisfaction after the rude treatment she received.

Typical American Offline teaser headline. This gold digging social climber hasn't been married to Trump for 17 years, yet she still trades on his name and AOL dutifully proclaims "Trump Physically Taken Off Plan", as if to infer "The Donald" was booted from his set in coach.

I agree with Ivana!! Children should not be running and screaming on a plane!! I would have probably reacted as she did and I'm just a normal middle-class, middle-aged woman!

Goodness Ivana!
You are sure looking ugly these days.....like 95% of most white women after they reach the age of 35!
Looking at you, the many face lifts did not even work, like most white women with money try to do with no success, that is why you are mad and are taking it out on the children!! HaHa!
