Diana Ross Claims She Was ‘Violated’ By TSA Agents
The legendary Diana Ross didn’t have a supreme experience at the airport this week. The singer revealed in a series of tweets a traumatic situation she had with TSA agents, which left her close to tears.
OK so on one hand I’m treated like royalty in New Orleans and at the airport I was treated like shit

Diana had been in New Orleans performing at the Jazz and Heritage Festival, so she arrived to the airport in good spirits. But clearly her exit from the Big Easy wasn’t the best. She went on:

A TSA spokesperson later told People that they looked at video footage and it appeared to show officers “correctly” following all protocols.
“TSA is aware of concerns presented by Diana Ross about her screening experience at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport this morning,” the statement read.“Initial review of CCTV indicates that the officers involved with Ms. Ross’s screening correctly followed all protocols, however, TSA leadership will continue to investigate the matter further. We encourage Ms. Ross to reach out to TSA so we can work with her directly to address her concerns.”
Of course, because she’s Diana, her response to the TSA was posting a video of her singing “Stop! In the Name of Love.”
