A former Alaska Airlines flight attendant, Nelle Diala, has been dismissed from her job following the release of a viral TikTok video in which she was seen twerking in her uniform. The video, which gained over 72,000 views, showcased her celebration of completing her probationary period at the airline, leading to the termination just six months into her tenure. In a segment shared on the airline's social media, Diala expressed her feelings on the sudden dismissal, describing it as the loss of her "dream job" as she was gearing up to celebrate a personal milestone.

The video, captioned "ghetto till I die, don’t let the uniform fool you," was filmed while Diala awaited her flight captain, attempting to make light of a two-hour wait. Despite her explanation that the video reflected a moment of personal celebration, the company found it to be a clear violation of their social media guidelines. Diala is quoted stating, “I never thought a single moment would cost me everything,” highlighting her shock at the airline's decision to terminate her without a proper discussion or right to respond.

In subsequent posts, Diala questioned the public perception surrounding her actions, stating, "Can’t even be yourself anymore without the world being so sensitive," and used the hashtag #discriminationisreal, indicating a level of frustration over her treatment. Support for Diala has manifested online, with some TikTok users suggesting that while her actions may have been inappropriate, the punishment was severe. Others defended Alaska Airlines, citing commitment to maintaining professionalism in their workforce.

Currently, Diala is not only searching for a new job but also focusing on her personal businesses—a lingerie and dessert venture that she aimed to develop alongside her airline career. Her fundraising efforts via GoFundMe aim to raise $12,000, and as per recent updates, she has gathered around $646 thus far. Diala remains optimistic about reviving her career aspirations in aviation, indicating despite setbacks, her passion for the industry remains strong.

The incident has ignited broader conversations about the balance between personal expression and professional conduct in today's digital landscape. As employees navigate personal branding through platforms like TikTok, questions surrounding appropriate workplace behavior are now more relevant than ever.
