Stars, they’re just like us — especially when they can’t watch their shows while traveling.
Jessica Chastain found herself under fire from social media users after she publicly called out JetBlue because their inflight entertainment was down during a recent trip.
The “Help” star addressed the airline on X (formerly Twitter) in a series of tweets that have since been deleted after she was offered a $15 flight credit for the inconvenience.
Chastain included a screenshots of the company’s travel credit offer, which she claimed was only a fraction of the amount she coughed up for the flight.
“Thank you @JetBlue for your $15.00 credit. My flight was $1,500 and the credit is 1/100 of the money I paid you,” the actress posted on Wednesday.
“Strange that I paid that for your flight entertainment system that didn’t work for the duration of my 6hr flight, but I guess it was worth it for this $15 credit.”
The airline then informed her that everyone on the flight was offered the same $15 credit for the inflight entertainment outage.
“I understand but I spent $1500 on the flight and so did my husband,” she replied. “There should be some flight credit or something since I have a TrueBlue account and have been a loyal customer.”
X users quickly weighed in on the situation, with many cracking jokes about the Oscar winner’s wealth.
“Jessica chastain beefing with an airline publicly on twitter shows that no matter how much money you have you’ll never stop being a millennial,” one person commented.
“The funniest thing about Jessica Chastain complaining about only getting a $15 refund for the in-flight entertainment not working on her Jet Blue flight is that she was flying with her husband,” another user wrote.
“Is 6 hours together that horrible that you lose it over not having movies to watch?”
A third added, “Jessica Chastain is whining about paying $1,500 for a Jet Blue flight and not having a working TV. The way you can be a millionaire but still be a broke bitch at heart.”
Others slammed the A-lister’s “embarrassing” grievance, with one person telling her to “read the room.”
