NFL superstar goes on Twitter tirade as footage of plane eviction leaked

Odell Beckham Jr. went on a Twitter spree one day after footage from November’s infamous airplane incident was released.

The free-agent wide receiver was previously removed from a plane after the flight crew said he was going “in and out of consciousness” and they could not get him to put his seatbelt on.

Police released video of the incident on Thursday that featured all the other passengers having to de-plane before Beckham was removed from the aircraft. When one passenger verbally confronted Beckham, he responded with indifference to the delay, called him ugly, and derisively encouraged him to “enjoy the cheese board”.

Beckham tore his ACL during the Rams’ Super Bowl victory in early 2022. Although Cowboys owner Jerry Jones indicated that the wideout was close to signing there, that has not happened, and Beckham remains a free agent.

He continued to fire off tweets following the release of the bodycam footage.

“But the one thing that no matter how much I’ve grown is still the hardest thing for me to do. Is let someone play wit my name. Period,” Beckham wrote. “For those tht kno me kno me, u kno exactly how I am. I really be koolin. But…..But…..if u press that button and bring a certain energy. Do NOT be surprised when u get that same energy back. I kno who I am. Period. All the rest and opinions really don’t matter to me. Have a blessed day and enjoy the [cheese] board!”

Beckham implied that the video from the plane was maliciously edited.

“My favorite least favorite thing about this worlds besides people who don’t kno what they’re talkin bout.. is we can cut up any video however we want to make it loook exactly how we want GOOD or BAD. Funny world we live in . No [cap],” he tweeted.
