Doctor who accused American Airlines of racism after she was removed from a flight and told to 'cover up her assets' slams the airline's apology, demanding an explanation for why she was singled out

Dr. Tisha Rowe, 37, hit out at American Airlines on social media last month, revealing she was told by flight attendants that she had to cover up her 'assets'
The Houston-based doctor, who was traveling from Jamaica to Miami with her eight-year-old son, had to wrap herself in a blanket in order to re-board the flight
She took to Twitter and Facebook shortly after the incident occurred to accuse American Airlines of racism and size discrimination
In an interview with GMA she called for an official explanation as to why she was removed from the flight when other women in similar attire were not targeted
She said she was 'humiliated' and couldn't look at other passengers when the flight attendant, who was African American, took her off the plane

The black doctor who accused American Airlines of racism after she was removed from her plane and told to cover up her 'assets' with a blanket before re-boarding has doubled down on her furious criticism of the airline, insisting that she was targeted by staff because of her race and size.

Appearing on GMA on Thursday morning, Tisha Rowe, 37, a doctor and mother-of-one from Houston, Texas, recalled the 'humiliation' that she felt when she was asked to leave the flight bound for Miami from Jamaica, on which she was traveling with her eight-year-old son.

'I was so humiliated, I walked down the aisle with my head down,' she said of the incident, which became a viral scandal when Tisha spoke out about it on Twitter on June 30, after arriving back home from her vacation.

Comment by Robert on July 12, 2019 at 1:32pm: I SAID IT BEFORE, DO NOT FLY AMERICAN AIRLINES!!!! One of the worst airlines in the system. On many occasions they left me stranded ,gave me bad service, horribles stewardess, there is a reason why they are one of the lowest cheapest airline fares out there.

Comment by Natalie on July 12, 2019 at 12:05pm: I need more information on this because if she was in business class or first class then they do have a dress code and I have seen many passengers reprimanded for not wearing the appropriate attire. Now if she was in coach and told to cover up then she should file a lawsuit because I have seen passengers with see through outfits and shorts that can be mistaken as panties.

Comment by Lu on July 11, 2019 at 9:08pm: All of them CAVEMEN savages are going to pay for their atrocities and attacks against our culture. KARMA is real.

Comment by Michael Thomas on July 11, 2019 at 1:12pm: Everyone, this is not about getting paid or black people being their worst enemy. This is a CLEAR sign of racism. The woman is a doctor, which I'm sure she identified herself as such. Made no difference. I've seen people get on a plane with less clothing than the doctor had on, without a second look.
