Stella finally made it to her business class seat on the plane. But one man didn’t want to sit next to her and told the flight attendant that the older woman should be in economy class. The stewardess declined his request, and Stella was able to take her seat. Afterward, Stella told the most bittersweet story of her life.
“I don’t want to sit next to that… woman!” Franklin Delaney almost yelled at the flight attendant who had accompanied an older woman and told him she was seated next to him.
“Sir, this is her seat. We can’t do anything about it,” the stewardess said gently, trying to persuade the businessman who had a scowl on his face.

“That can’t be true. These seats are way too expensive, and she couldn’t possibly afford one! Look at her clothes!” Franklin almost yelled, pointing at the older woman’s clothes. Stella was ashamed. She was wearing her best clothes and hated that others knew her outfit was cheap.
Other passengers in business class turned to look at them, and the older woman, Stella Taylor, looked down at her feet. The altercation continued, and it was delaying filling the plane. Several other flight attendants showed up, trying to calm Franklin down.
