playing a game called \u201cWords with Friends\u201d on his old cell phone.&nbsp; Baldwin claims that a flight attendant went loopy on him while he was playing the game on his cell phone, even despite the fact that the plane was at that time still sitting at a gate in LAX.&nbsp; Following the incident, Baldwin posted on social media site Twitter that \u201cFlight attendant reamed me out 4 playing WORDS W FRIENDS while we sat at the gate, not moving.&nbsp; #nowonderairamericaisbankrupt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>The airline confirms that there was a verbal altercation between the actor and a flight attendant.&nbsp; However, it also alleges that Baldwin was so steamed about the incident that he proceeded to rise from his seat while the \u201cFasten seat belt\u201d sign was still on and slammed the bathroom door so hard that the captain of the plane overheard it and became involved.&nbsp; Baldwin\u2019s people deny that any such occurrence actually took place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>The actor ending up taking a later flight, and could not resist taking a potshot at the airline, again via a post on a Twitter.&nbsp; \u201cNow on the 3 o\u2019clock American flight,\u201d he tweeted.&nbsp; \u201cThe flight attendants already look\u2026 smarter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>Baldwin joins the ever-growing list of actors and celebrities who have been kicked off a plane in recent times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>American actor Alec Baldwin found himself ejected from a plane yesterday over his refusal to stop playing
