Wicked Star Marissa Bode Denied Flight Over Wheelchair
Marissa Bode is calling out an airline for refusing to let her board a flight because of her wheelchair. The 25-year-old Wicked star took to TikTok Thursday to blast the experience, posting: “I was denied boarding a flight because I’m disabled.” She didn’t hold back, demanding the airline “do f—ing better.”
Bode has used a wheelchair since a car crash at age 11 left her paralyzed. She’s been vocal about accessibility issues before, but this incident clearly struck a nerve. The actress didn’t name the airline in her initial post, but made it clear this wasn’t just an inconvenience — it was discrimination.
Her TikTok went viral fast, with fans and fellow celebs rallying behind her. The post sparked a larger conversation about how airlines handle disability accommodations, and whether protocols are actually being followed.
