Remember when Odell Beckham Jr. was kicked off that plane? Well, the bodycam footage on one of the officers involved in the incident has finally been released.
Initial reports claimed Beckham Jr. was kicked off because he was “in and out of consciousness,” and “wouldn’t put on his seatbelt,” per Andy Slater.
Now, we have a (just under) five-minute clip of the entire incident. You can see officers trying to get Odell Beckham Jr.’s attention. Additionally, you can listen in on the discussion between the flight attendants and the officers about what they want to do with Beckham. Ultimately, as we all know, it led to the star receiver getting removed from the plane.
Give it a watch below.

Overall, this is just weird. The officers didn’t seem to think there was anything wrong with Odell Beckham Jr. while the flight attendants were the opposite. Also, the attendants spoke about Beckham in an odd manner, with one asking “where’s the baby’s pants?” Who even says something like that about a customer aboard a flight?
Odell Beckham Jr. was upset with being removed from the plane, as most people would. In the end, this entire incident has NFL fans divided.
Idk, looks like the flight attendants were EXTRA in this situation. Did she say “where are the babies pants?!” Who talks like that lol I can’t believe I’m siding with Odell b/c I didn’t think I would going into this video.

Some people don’t like the ending of the clip where Odell Beckham Jr. argues with another passenger.
I was with him up until he decided to start bragging about him getting on a private plane and insulting a elderly guy

It’s hard to argue with this point.
Even the cops knew this whole situation was overblown
And that should say alot— phil (@Phxlly) January 12, 2023
Just saying, If I woke up to officers asking me questions I’d be utterly confused too.
Ppl blaming him for taking shit back to the old dude? Seriously? He was being asked to get off to no reason? They used the club argument to imply drugs.. with no proof!! And ppl were looking at him and blaming him. He can’t be upset and defend himself? Ppl so one sided.

This bodycam footage definitely has everyone divided about what happened. However, it’s hard not to deny how weird the flight attendants were acting in this clip. Maybe more will come of this situation, but at least there is more clarity about what transpired.
