Ralph Lauren’s niece fined €2K for foul mouthed drunken fit on plane

The niece of fashion mogul Ralph Lauren was today fined €2,000 for a foul mouthed drunken tirade on a plane.

Jennifer Lauren (41) with an address at East 65th Street in New York abused three airline staff including two air hostesses whom she each labelled ‘f***ing ugly blonde b***h’.

Ms Lauren pleaded guilty to two charges during the air rage incident when she was drunk and disorderly.

The court heard that the total cost of the incident came to €30,208 including €12,676 for discommoding passengers.

The incident occurred on Monday after Ms Lauren’s seat on the transatlantic flight between Barcelona and New York was unable to recline.

When air hostess Constance Topping interacted with the defendant, she was told to “get the f**k out of her face”, Inspector Tom Kennedy told Ennis district court today.

Ms Lauren then left her seat, following Ms Topping at speed up the aisle.

There she pushed the air hostess against the wall calling her a “f*****g ugly blonde bitch.”

A second air hostess Jennifer Simpson was also abused with Ms Lauren calling her “a f*****g ugly, unhappy blonde bitch.”

A second pilot who was resting in the body of the aircraft also approached Ms Lauren but was told “You’re an a**hole”.

The court was told that Ms Lauren did not recall much of the incident.

Judge Patrick Durcan heard that the American was upset over the Christmas period thinking about her mum whom she lost to cancer.

The court heard that Ms Lauren was “extremely embarrassed and extremely upset” over the incident.

The defendant had had three drinks but was also taking medication which exacerbated the problem.

Ms Lauren was separated from a traveling companion on flight and found that the alcohol, medications and altitude all affected her.

Defence solicitor Sharon Curley said while much had been made of her client’s family name, Ms Lauren is a 41-year-old single woman who had recently set up her own business which she was the sole employee of.
