JetstarGate: Carla Bonner Says Defamer Australia Report “Not A True Account Of What Happened”

Following on from yesterday’s troubling report of a verbal spat between Neighbours star Carla Bonner and a Jetstar flight attendant, the Daily Telegraph has helpfully contacted the actress to see whether our tipster Daniel’s version of events was an accurate account of the tongue lashing or whether it was, in fact, total bullshit.

We would have called you ourselves to do the same thing, Carla, but we don’t have your number! Also, I’m on pre-paid and phone calls can really eat in to the thirty bucks, you know?

Here’s what the Daily Telegraph had to report after their no expense spared investigation into the incident.

Neighbours’ Carla Bonner was barred from catching a weekend flight for reportedly letting fly with a Gordon Ramsay-style spray over baggage. The angry actress, who plays Steph Scully on the Channel 10 soap, was intending to travel from Melbourne to Newcastle for an overnight trip with personal trainer boyfriend Jason Shepherd before she was grounded by Jetstar staff for her diva outburst at a check-in attendant.

The mother-of-two, who yesterday denied the particulars of the exchange…

Wait, what? It actually happened? Good lord, what an unexpected turn of events. I’m now gripped by this story, and we’re the ones who broke it in the first place.

Back to the Tele:

The mother-of-two, who yesterday denied the particulars of the exchange, was checking in at Tullamarine when onlookers said she took offence at the male desk attendant who told her he would need to measure her hand luggage because it appeared too large.

A spy from online blog defamer.com.au reported Bonner as retorting: “How about you put it up your a…?”

My hot tip when it comes to blogging is always, always make sure your blog is online. I had an offline blog for like, two years, but like, no one ever read it.

Back to JetstarGate!

The star told Confidential the blog report was “not a true account of what happened.”

“I am in the process of lodging a formal complaint about an incredibly rude staff member who I am sure regrets his behaviour,” Bonner said. “It’s a shame because the other Jetstar staff I dealt with were terrific and very supportive.”

It’s a shame the other Jetstar staff weren’t terrific or supportive enough to overrule your nemesis and get you on board your flight, Carla, but we hope and pray justice will eventually be served in whatever the aviation industry’s equivalent of the High Court is.

I am confirming the disputed “particulars” of the exchange with our tipster as we speak. We’ll keep you posted.
