But the attendant has claimed that she resigned from BA before bosses could sack her and says she was framed by colleagues who released the Snapchat video. She also told Mail Online she was tired of flying and wanted to quit.
“I want to set the record straight. I wasn’t sacked. I resigned,” she said. “I’d had enough and I didn’t want to fly anymore.”
Wickenden had sparked outrage in the short video clip where she made sexual remarks about Nigerian men and the size of their private parts while also mocking their accents. During the one-minute clip she spoke of how how she was going to deal with passengers on the flight.
She said: “Alright, so all of yous are there getting ready for your Friday night, getting in the pre-drinks, you know, as you do.
“And I’m here, getting ready to go to work, put on a yellow life jacket, point out the exits, hand out chicken or beef, what sort of Friday night is this for me?
“The upside is I’m going to Nigeria and there’s gonna be bare B**, I’m joking, I’m joking.
All the Nigerians are gonna be there like ‘gimme Coca Cola, gimme me beef, why you have no beef left? I want beef’.”
“And I’m just gonna be there like, ‘Sorry sir, we ran out of beef’.
“All the Nigerians are gonna be there asking for f****** upgrades because they haven’t got enough leg room because their B**s are in their way. Big d**** like this swinging from side to side.”
After the video went viral Wickenden, was suspended by the airline. She has claimed colleagues were egging her on to impersonate Nigerian passengers and framed her by making it public. But another source told Mail Online: “Joanne never takes responsibility for her actions. She was sacked from Norwegian for spitting in a passenger’s coffee after they upset her.
“Nothing is ever her fault and when she was sacked said she was framed.”
