Actor Stephen Amell was removed from a Delta flight in Texas following an argument with his wife Cassandra Jean. TMZ.com reported that Amell appeared to be intoxicated and added that his wife buried her head in embarrassment. Amell issued a statement downplaying the situation, which can be read below.
Powell’s POV: In addition to starring in the forthcoming “Heels” pro wrestling drama for Starz, Amell is best known for starring as Oliver Queen in the “Arrow” television series. He is a longtime pro wrestling fan and has wrestled for WWE, ROH, and at the All In event, and also made an appearance at AEW Revolution.
My wife and I got into an argument Monday afternoon on a Delta flight from Austin to LA. I was asked to lower my voice and I did. Approximately 10 minutes later I was asked to leave the flight. And I did so immediately. I was not forcibly removed.

I rebooked myself on a Southwest flight 2 hours later and traveled home without any further issue. I let my emotions get the better of me, end of story. Must be a slow news cycle.

If he has to say anything, Amell should just say something along the lines of “Yeah I’m human, you never get into an argument with your wife? Problem?PLEASE unfollow. Glass houses, motherfuckers.”
Once you give these people an apology, you are now fair game for whatever else they want to throw at you bc they know you’ll engage with their narrative.
