Clay Aiken blames plane incident on his foot “wandering”
Clay Aiken explains his airplane incident. The American Idol runner up became involved in a minor altercation with a woman on board the plane.
Aiken tells Entertainment Tonight that the cause of the incident was his foot “wandered” onto an armrest. “While sleeping on a plane over the weekend, my foot evidently found a home on the armrest of the passenger seated directly in front of me. I didn’t realize I was causing the woman any distress until she woke me up with a quick hit to the chest.”
He told ET that because the incident occurred on a plant the FBI was called to investigate the matter. “I’d like to thank everyone for their concern; I and fine and have taken steps to prevent any foot wandering in the future.”
Special Agent Gary Johnson of the FBI confirmed there was an altercation between a man and a woman on the plane but did not confirm that the man involved was Clay Aiken.
