Kat Clark has been left ‘fuming’ after airline staff mocked her daughter.
The TikTok star took to Instagram on Monday to express her disgust following an altercation during a routine airport check-in.
Kat and her 13-year-old daughter Deja were preparing for their flight when a staff member started ‘mocking’ the teenager’s headgear, which she uses to protect her curly hair.
‘Guys, I’m actually shook,’ Kat shared with her 770,000 followers.
‘A Virgin staff member checking us in for our flight walked out from behind her desk, came up to Deja mocking her bonnet,’ she explained.
‘She then asked Deja to show her hair and when Deja said no, she tried to lift up her bonnet!

‘Wtaf is wrong with people. Who touches someone after they’ve said no (?).’
In the next Instagram Story, the popular ‘mumfluencer’ continued to express her anger at the incident.
‘I am fuming lol,’ she wrote over a picture of herself while on the plane.
‘I thought I’d be calm by now but after reading your comments, you’ve made me all realise I’m not overreacting.
‘I’ll be making a complaint. I don’t have her name but I have a video of her.’
A Virgin Australia spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia, ‘We always strive to provide the highest standards of customer service and we apologise this interaction did not meet those standards. We have reached out to our guests today to apologise directly.’
It comes just hours after Kat hit back at the ‘mean girl’ fashion police who slammed the outfit her 13-year-old daughter wore to the TikTok Awards as ‘too revealing.’
Déjà wore a midriff-baring two piece ensemble as she accompanied her mum to the social media platform’s star-studded award ceremony in Sydney last week.

The top comment on a photo of the TikTok star mum and daughter posing together at the TikTok Awards reads: ‘Déjà looks like she came from a strip club.’
Kat, who hosted the event alongside Robert Irwin, on Monday took to Instagram to hit back at the torrent of online criticism over her teenager’s yellow outfit.
Kat posted an image of Kim Kardashian’s infamous all-black 2021 Met Gala outfit to her Stories and wrote, ‘This is what Déjà is going to wear to the next awards to keep everyone happy,’ with a laugh-crying emoji.
‘If you’re a mean girl, please unfollow me,’ she captioned a TikTok posted to her 6.7million followers on Saturday.
Kat said she had been reading everyone’s negative comments about her appearance at the awards with her daughter and hit back at keyboard warriors ‘not just bringing women down but bringing TEENAGERS down.’
‘So many people had a problem with Déjà’s outfit and it just blows my mind,’ she said.
‘I never have and I never will control what my children wear. One of my main goals as a parent is to make my children feel confident in their bodies. At times I may make a few suggestions, but if my child wants to wear something, I will let them.
‘And isn’t it easier being nice instead of a mean girl? I don’t get it.’
