In an effort to seek shelter from the seemingly endless shitstorm that’s been raining down on him lately, embattled NY1 anchor/alleged wife-beater Dominic Carter and his wife decided to do what countless others have done when they’ve felt the need “to chill, to relax and get away from it all”: spend a weekend in Kansas City. But poor Dominic couldn’t even do that without sparking a controversy. You see, shortly after boarding a flight to KC, Carter bent down to tie his shoes and in doing so bumped into a bitchy male flight attendant, who proceeded to throw a hissy fit about the whole thing.

According to the New York Post, who got the scoop from Carter’s aunt, of all people, the flight attendant was so peeved at Carter that he and wife bolted from the plane:

“That other guy lost it, ‘Oh, no! You bumped into me! You will be removed from this flight!’ ” his aunt, Inez Carter, 63, told The Post.

When the officers arrived, Carter, who was headed to Kansas City with his wife, Marilyn, “just to chill, to relax and get away from it all,” according to his aunt — overheard a supervisor saying it’d take an hour to replace the agitated flight attendant.

Instead, he volunteered to leave the flight.

“Dominic, rather than hold up the flight, decided to remove himself,” said the aunt. “[He] just doesn’t need this right now.”

Carter and his wife received an apology from Delta Airlines for the flight attendant’s behavior and were seated in first class on the next flight out to Kansas City, so finally, Dominic Carter and his wife experienced a brief, fleeting ray of sunshine in their wretched lives.
