What is it about Jonathan Rhys Meyers and airports? How fucking bizarre.
Tudors star Jonathan Rhys Meyers spewed the ‘N’ word when he was banned from a United Airlines flight due to a drunken display, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.
RadarOnline.com broke the story that the Irish actor was banned from flying United In early May when he became increasingly drunk and disorderly while pounding drinks early in the morning in the first class lounge at New York’s JFK airport. He was waiting to fly to Los Angeles.
Now RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting that the story is even more shocking and ugly. When airline workers noticed the actor drinking and getting out of control they prevented him from boarding the flight to Los Angeles, a source at the airport told us.
As the incident unfolded, Meyers, growing furious, flung the ‘N’ word, the source told RadarOnline.com exclusively. He had been drinking vodka and it was before 7 am. It is unclear if the actor was directing the word toward an individual or just spewing it without a specific target.

It’s by far the ugliest display of behavior for an actor who has a history of traveling misbehavior. In 2007, seven months after checking into rehab for the second time, he was arrested at Dublin airport and charged with being drunk and in breach of peace (the charges were later dropped).Then, in June 2009, three months after checking out of rehab the third time, he was arrested after allegedly attacking a number of staff at a bar in Paris’ Charles de Gaulle airport.
Also, Jesus-did they have to mention RadarOnline.com so many times there in that piece? Shameless. Bigmentaldisease.com hates when bigmentaldisease.com sees that kind of thing going on, says bigmentaldisease.com, exclusively (http://bigmentaldisease.com/).
Its quiet endearing. Getting boozed up at the time, being a tiny man bollox.
Wow BMD – he seems pretty unpleasant. I’d imagine that his sweet lips and fine checkbones will be reconstructed by some angry fists if he carries on like that in the States. How many times does he need to go to rehab? Bet he’ll be on Oprah soon, begging for forgiveness…
Don’t rate him much as an actor (his accent and scenery-chewing in ‘the Tudors’ are frankly appalling), but his ‘career’ in USA and the UK is pretty much fucked if there is any element of truth to this story. Perhaps he’ll show up on ‘Fair City’ or ‘Ros na Run’ soon?
When me and my brother were kids, we would get the wooden spoon from our mum if we ever used the N word or the C word. I don’t think I ever used either, but my brother did. Moms was quite old fashioned, so insisted that we use the term ‘Negro’ instead (not sure if that is any less insulting?).
I have managed to educate her in recent years that ‘African-American’ is the appropriate term, especially post-Obama.
Great graphics, BTW!
I used to get the wooden spoon from my mother every time I used a bad word. Joke was on her though, as I was doing it on purpose in order to add to my impressive wooden spoon collection.
Good idea for an eBay shop. ‘Ethnic Fair Trade Wooden Spoons’, suitable for whacking the sh*t out of bold kids, cooking up a stew or simply using for decorative purposes in the kitchen.
Might also appeal to the S&M crowd…
Knackers begins with a K though?
I have a teddy.
