Two YouTube celebrities who claim they were removed from a Delta flight for speaking Arabic have retro cinema erotice blondeshared additional footage after a livestream of the incident went viral.
Adam Saleh and Slim Albaher were travelling from London to New York Wednesday when they were made to leave the aircraft.
In video and tweets Saleh shared from the cabin, he said he was being kicked off for speaking Arabic to his mother, after other passengers complained. The clip provoked a swift backlash against the airline on social media, although Delta has since said the pair were removed for intentionally disrupting the cabin.

In one video, Saleh said he spoke briefly to his mother and then with Albaher in Arabic, after which a woman nearby expressed discomfort.
"She looks back and she says 'can you please speak English, I feel really uncomfortable.' Me and Slim were just shocked," Saleh said.
After that, another man stood up, he claims, and aggressively asked for them to be "chucked" off the plane.
While many supported the men on social media with the hashtag #BoycottDelta, others were skeptical. Saleh has previously shared videos that seek to expose Muslim stereotypes, as well as a recent clip where he pretended to travel in his luggage -- a hoax that was quickly exposed.
In footage outside the plane, a crew member says to Saleh, "You brought attention upon yourself, and you're obviously doing it for the benefit of...," pointing to the camera.
"No, I'm doing it because you guys are kicking me out," he replies. Representatives of Saleh told Mashablethe incident was not a prank.
"People keep using the fact that we're pranksters against us," Albaher said in one clip on Saleh's YouTube channel. "I feel like this is the boy who cried wolf."
"I didn't know what to do. I felt like a criminal," he said.
"You can see in the video, it's as real as it gets," Saleh adds.
Late Wednesday, Delta released a statement suggesting the pair were intentionally disruptive.
"Based on the information collected to date, it appears the customers who were removed sought to disrupt the cabin with provocative behavior, including shouting," the airline said in an email to Mashable.
"What is paramount to Delta is the safety and comfort of our passengers and employees. It is clear these individuals sought to violate that priority."
Saleh has been approached by Mashablefor comment.
