Quick, Call Al Sharpton!

Frenchie Davis is alleging that she was the victim of racism by a passenger and flight attendants on Alaska Air. The former American Idol contestant plans to speak about the ordeal at a press conference on Thursday in L.A.

Press release via Eurweb:

The “American Idol” vet was seated by the window at 1:30 p.m. for a scheduled 1:55 p.m. take off on Friday. A man and his son had the seats next to Frenchie, but the boy complained that he didn’t want to sit next to the “big black person,” Davis’ rep says.

The man asked Frenchie to put her armrest down between her and the boy, but Frenchie had already fallen asleep as the plane began to taxi down the runway.

According to her rep, the man “stands up and shakes Frenchie violently saying wake up and put the armrest down right now. She tells him to take his hands off her.”

The man allegedly asked flight attendants to call security because this “big black woman is harassing him,” the rep recounts. She says two flight attendants respond, but don't bother to ask Frenchie to tell her side of the story. They just demand that she move.

Activist Najee Ali, who came to Davis' defense during the Antonella Barba-double standard fall out, is slated to speak at the press conference while simultaneously plugging his new line of low carb bean pies. Kidding.

Jesus be another approach to the art of staying relevant without claiming racism.
