Couple in first class removed from MIA-DCA flight

This is the short version. (MIA-DCA)

1st class passenger in 1st row and flight attendant get in tiff.

Couple in 1A and 1C. The flight attendant could not understand if the guy was saying vodka or water.

Long story short she is bringing his vodka-sprite back in a rude manner and his wife next to him said to change her attitude.

The flight attendant accused her of being upset that she had to put her bag in the overhead since they were in a bulkhead.

I think the wife believed the flight attendants attitude stemmed from her husbands’s accent.

They got taken off plane to get spoken to.

Then were escorted back to their seats.

Then the gate agent comes back on the plane and pulls them off the flight 5 minutes later after the flight attendant continued to make a fuss about the (minor) situation.

The gate agent was apologetic about pulling them off but said there was nothing she could do.

During the situation you could hear the flight attendant complaining to the pilots and just about anyone who would listen.

I wish I spoke up but selfishly did not want to get kicked off myself..
