Although Flake said she was glad her skin condition has garnered attention, she expressed dismay at an incident that took place on an airplane. “I have never been so humiliated in my life,” Flake wrote Thursday in a Facebook post, claiming American Airlines discriminated against her and her child by removing them from a South Carolina-bound flight from Texas. American Airlines said it is looking into the incident and has offered an apology.
