An eyewitness told TMZ that prior to the part of the incident that was caught on film, Banks "spit in the [French] man's face, punched him in the face, and clawed his shirt" before the flight attendant got involved. Police were called and Banks allegedly ran before being found at baggage claim, but the French couple chose not to press charges.  

Following the incident, Banks took to Twitter to give her side of the story.
