As tabloids love to eagerly remind readers, there seems to be something about airports that brings out the worst behavior in celebrities. And in August 2018, Gretchen Wilson added her name to this hall of shame when she was charged with a breach of peace misdemeanor at Connecticut's Bradley International Airport. A source had told TMZ that the "Redneck Woman" singer had gotten into a fight with another passenger aboard an American Airlines flight from Washington D.C. According to CNN, after landing, the star was arrested and then charged by state police after acting belligerently toward them.
Wilson addressed the alleged incident a week later, informing her Facebook followers that she couldn't go into details due to legal reasons. However, just a few days later, she did claim to Taste of Country that the tabloid version of her troubles was far from the truth. "People who know me know that I just wanna get it straight," she said. "I'm reading all of these headlines ... like, 'Oh gosh, it's so wrong, it's all so wrong!'"
In September 2018, the charges against Wilson were eventually dropped, per People. In order to settle the charge, Wilson agreed to donate $500 to a charity. Two months later, in another interview with Taste of Country, she further insisted that the drama had been a misunderstanding and she wasn't involved in any altercation on an airplane. Per AP, Wilson griped to the press that celebrities simply weren't allowed to have off days like ordinary people.
