Carla from Bankstown Dubs Jetstar Staff ‘Rude Gronks’ as She’s Left Stranded in Brisbane for 5 Hours: Swears Not to Enable Karen-like Behavior!

Benjahmin James, aka Carla From Bankstown, launched a scathing tirade against Jetstar on Wednesday after his flight to Sydney was cancelled.

The Celebrity Apprentice star, 29, posted a gallery of photos to Instagram Stories capturing him impatiently waiting at Brisbane Airport, and added some choice words for the low-cost airline.

‘Thank you Jetstar Australia for cancelling my flight 10 minutes before it was boarding and making me wait three hours till the next one,’ he began.

‘I have a gig on tonight back in Sydney [that] I’ll be late for and will lose money for. It’s amazing. Thank you for that!

James then warned the airline he would become a complaining ‘Karen’ if the situation was not quickly rectified.

'Thank you Jetstar Australia for cancelling my flight 10 minutes before it was boarding and making me wait three hours till the next one,' he began.

‘Thank you Jetstar Australia for cancelling my flight 10 minutes before it was boarding and making me wait three hours till the next one,’ he began.

‘I’ve been sitting here for the last two hours waiting and if you cancel this flight I will make a video and I will become Karen from Bankstown and lose my mind,’ he continued, adding, ‘I will lose money for these cancelled flights.’

James went on to reveal he finally boarded a plane five hours later and was not happy with the staff’s reaction to the incident – or their demeanor handling his concerns or questions. 

‘Five hours later on a plane home and @jetstaraustralia staff are so rude! You should be ashamed. Never had any issue with you EVER and now you want to be gronks?! 

‘Watch out, I’m making the BIGGEST complaint in the history of your existence. 

‘And your staff being so rude to me when asking what’s happening, saying, “Oh, we all want to go home babe”. ‘Don’t call me babe. I’m not your babe, bro. Seriously RUDE.’

Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Jetstar for comment.

Carla from Bankstown shot to fame in 2021 with her tongue-in-cheek videos where she posed as ex-NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian’s no-nonsense assistant.

In July, the celebrity drag queen posted a hilarious video to TikTok, revealing she had scored a new gig working for current NSW Premier Chris Minns.

The cheeky footage shows Carla working behind the desk at Minns’ office as she takes a personal call with a friend and tells them, ‘it’s so boring today’.

She is then caught off guard by Minns, 43, who approaches her desk and asks her: ‘What’s happening? Are phone calls coming through, no one’s picking up.’ 

‘Victorian premier Dan Andrews called and said he’s hotter than you, but I told him no, absolutely not,’ Carla cheekily responded.
