Czech model accused of hitting flight attendant over her cat, forces emergency landing

WATCH ABOVE: An international model from the Czech Republic diverted a plane from Las Vegas to Germany after getting upset and allegedly hitting a plane crew member because she wanted to see her ‘comfort cat.’ 

Zaneta Hucikova is a beautiful model from the Czech Republic but she can make things real ugly if you try and part her from her cat as one flight attendant reportedly found out Friday.

Two F-16 fighter jets were forced to escort a Condor Airlines Boeing 767 flight – flying from Las Vegas to Frankfurt – to Denver International Airport after the pilot reported an emergency.

That emergency, as it turns out, was over a cute, cuddly, purring ball of fur that Hucikova, 34, referred to as her ‘comfort cat.’ She had allegedly snuck it onto the plane and became upset when ‘Victoria’ was taken away.

“After takeoff is when she started to fight with one of the flight attendants and assaulted her,” passenger Dasha Giraldo told The Denver Post.

The model was one of 250 on board when the plane was diverted. According to CBS, the remaining 249 passengers were forced to wait nearly 24 hours before resuming their journey to Germany.

Hucikova is being held on suspicion of a visa violation while the cat also remains in federal custody.
