«Breaking News» Actor sues airlines after pinky finger gets stuck in armrest hole

An actor is suing American Airlines and its regional SkyWest after his pinky finger became lodged in the hole of armrest during a flight, resulting in humiliation and weeks of physical pain.

Stephen Keys, who has appeared in films 'Soul Plane' and 'Remarkable Power' as well as TV shows 'How I Met Your Mother' and 'Ugly Betty,' said the incident happened during a September flight from Reno, Nevada to Los Angeles, California.

In the suit filed last Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Keys claims the airline experience turned into a nightmare when he attempted to put the armrest of his seat up.

His pinky finger became stuck in a small hole and he was unable to remove it. He claims he suffered injuries and extreme embarrassment as fellow passengers watched him during the struggle.

The suit states: 'The spring mechanism embedded inside of this hole in the armrest applied intense pressure to plaintiff’s finger, immediately inflicting injury, swelling and pain.

'Dozens of passengers became aware of Mr. Keys' perilous condition, causing his dire situation to become a humiliating public spectacle. 

His finger was allegedly jammed in the gap for the remainder of the flight.

'By the end of it all, he remained entrapped in this nightmarish condition, suffering for nearly an hour,' the suit further said.

Airline employees were unable to resolve the issue. A Skywest mechanic ultimately was forced to disassemble the armrest.  

A representative for SkyWest released a statement on the matter Tuesday afternoon.

'The comfort and safety of our passengers is our first priority,' the statement said.

'We worked with our partner American to reach out to Mr. Keys regarding his bruised finger and look forward to swiftly resolving this matter... due to the ongoing litigation, we cannot comment further.'

SkyWest, a regional airline that has a contract under American Airlines, said in a statement 'the comfort and safety of our passengers is our first priority.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
