A gay couple had a major crisis at the airport and insulted a woman in a wheelchair after they accused American Airlines employees of keeping them away from their pet dogs.
Crazy Dustin Miller, 42, was seen screaming, saying: “American Airlines deceived us!” While his Louis Vuitton-branded husband Anthony Thorne, 40, implored him to think about “their girls” – the couple’s pet dogs Shelby and Dolly.
The drama began at Charlotte Douglas Airport earlier this week, where Miller was also seen shouting: “Fuck, bitch!” On a woman in a wheelchair who was also waiting to board a plane to Fort Lauderdale, where the couple lives.
“You're not getting on the plane and seeing your girls,” Thorne shouted as he forcefully pulled his wife away from the American Airlines employee who was berating them for some unknown reason. It's unclear what prompted the drama, which was initially shared on TikTok. DailyMail.com has contacted the couple and the AA for further comment.
'Remember your daughters! “You don't care about girls, you don't care about girls,” Thorne kept repeating, apparently in a state of mania.
Social media revealed that the “girls”, later identified as Shelby and Dolly, are actually the two dogs the couple share.
Miller – who works as an accountant at Sykes & Company – was not afraid to draw attention to their messy dispute.
'Hello all! “American Airlines fooled us,” Miller shouted to the bewildered crowd in the lounge.
“Shelby and Dolly.” Shelby and Dolly. Shelby and Dolly, remember them. Shelby and Dolly. Shelby and Dolly,” Thorne murmured to his husband as Miller pointed to the crowd and swayed around the gate.
“I'm just trying to get home to the girls,” Miller's fed-up husband pleaded with him.
As the situation was calming down, a woman in a wheelchair made an inaudible comment that made Miller angry again.
“Fuck, bitch,” he shouted at the woman after talking incoherently about his “favorite dogs.”
According to what was reported on social media, the couple recently celebrated their ninth wedding anniversary.
Miller jokingly posted on his Facebook page on his husband's anniversary: ”Who knew Anthony could turn this (just kidding) into a husband.”
In a separate social media post, Miller joked: “Please pray for my husband. There is nothing wrong with him. He just married me and I am very married.”
Records show the couple lives in an apartment building in Florida's popular gay neighborhood of Wilton Manors.
Their building has a large pool, and their nearly $800,000 apartment has a large balcony.
Before his work as an accountant, Miller worked as a manager for the Longhorn Steakhouse restaurant chain in Greenville, North Carolina, according to his LinkedIn profile.
Comments on the TikTok video that captured the dramatic breakdown were quick to mock the couple's obsession with their “girls.”
“Gorges Shelby and Dolly are definitely two Pomeranians,” one user said.
“I tell my kids it's Cam and Mitchell,” another commenter joked, referring to the same-sex couple in the movie Modern Family.
