We knew being a professional athlete got you all sorts of perks us normal schlubs will never see, but according to one report those perks now allegedly include “lap dances” from flight crew members if you fly Air New Zealand. Pro athletes really are living the life.
Air New Zealand has issued a warning to a flight attendant after allegations she gave All Black Israel Dagg a lap dance during a boozy flight from the US.
The incident allegedly involved Dagg being “straddled” by the off-duty female attendant, according to a source who said there has been a string of drunken and “silly” episodes involving younger staff.
…According to the source, one of the off-duty crew became drunk and abused the operating cabin crew, while a second – a young woman – was drunk and gave Dagg a lap dance. “Or at least she was straddling him [Dagg] in his seat.”
Dagg’s manager, Dean Hegan, said he had looked into the claims but there was “nothing to it”.
Lap dancing, but no Daggering? A completely missed opportunity if I ever saw one.
And of course there was nothing to it *wink, wink* since Dagg married his girlfriend Daisy Aitken shortly after “nothing” happened on the flight.
