TikTok captured this week the emotional meltdown of a Florida couple waiting for a delayed flight at Charlotte Douglas International Airport and went viral, seen across social media platforms worldwide.
Video footage shot from American Airlines Gate B14 showed an angry man shouting and becoming increasingly upset, while his wife attempted to calm them both down. According to media outlets, their identities have been identified as Dustin Miller and Anthony Thorne respectively.
“Hello everyone,” Thorne announced to those assembled. Miller shouted that American Airlines just dropped us off while Thorne pulled at Miller’s arm to try to stop him.
Thorne can be heard saying in the video: “I’m trying to get home to my girls”, with female dogs representing Thorne and his companion in this relationship being his girls.
Miller shouted at a woman while using insulting language when she requested they move away, being in a wheelchair with their dog at her side.
Canine Companions: The Waiting Game Anthony attempts to steer Dustin away from airline employees who seem visibly distressed. In an effort to convince him otherwise, Anthony brings up their “girls” back home but Dustin remains angry nonetheless and tells Anthony multiple times “I don’t give a sh*t!”
Anthony approached Dustin amid this chaotic scene and inquired as to his lack of concern for their dogs, yet Dustin refused to be appeased despite Anthony’s attempts. This escalated further when Dustin turned toward other passengers on board to grab their attention with one quick gesture before unleashing an angry tirade accompanied by hand movements and hand claps.
Dustin quickly becomes disgruntled as he attempts to explain to Anthony their mission, which is to get home to their two dogs, but this explanation goes nowhere. An older lady sitting nearby intervenes with concern that Dustin might be frightening her pet; upon hearing this statement from Dustin he responds in an infuriated fashion by insulting and belittling the woman and responding similarly himself with rude behavior towards the older lady who took an offense at having such a person near by her own dog.
According to News, their social media posts revealed that they recently celebrated their ninth wedding anniversary.
LinkedIn lists Miller as an accountant at Sykes & Company and claims he and Thorne share an apartment in Wilton-Manors, Florida.
Austin Summers – a transgender OnlyFans Model who lived nearby the couple – recognized them from online video clips he saw of their situation and recognized them from personal interactions in person.
Summers has accused Miller in the past of making transphobic statements.
Summers would refer to herself by her initials: it.
Summers said Miller became aggressive upon hearing of Summer’s request to stop insulting him on one occasion and became violent, making threatening statements such as, he would kill us, beat up our arses and tell everyone we were worthless nobodies in response, according to Summer’s post on Reddit.
