Oh, it’s so, so hard to be a movie star flying on one of the craziest days of the year thanks to the blizzard hitting the East Coast. But thankfully, celebrities can Twitter-shame an airline in case things go wrong, like what Andie MacDowell is doing live right now:

She’s naming names:
@AmericanAir Amanda checked man in Charlotte North Carolina was the rudest person I have ever had to deal with
— Andie MacDowell (@AndieMacDowell3) January 22, 2016
@AmericanAir I was checked 1a when I left LA they told me they would reassigned me Charlotte first class he did not want to help
— Andie MacDowell (@AndieMacDowell3) January 22, 2016
But she’s OK with her new friends in “tourist” class:

For someone who says she refused to get upset, she sounds upset:
@AmericanAir there was no excuse why the guy would not just let me ask someone to change seats he had a power trip
— Andie MacDowell (@AndieMacDowell3) January 22, 2016
@AmericanAir he said take the seat or don't get on my plane I was there early to ask for help and from the moment I met him he was rude
— Andie MacDowell (@AndieMacDowell3) January 22, 2016
@AmericanAir I just want to be reimbursed for my second part of my trip
— Andie MacDowell (@AndieMacDowell3) January 22, 2016
People then shamed her into telling American Airlines to give the money to charity:
@alreadytakeni @kiwigirl3 @AmericanAir let's give it to charity YES huge corporation
— Andie MacDowell (@AndieMacDowell3) January 22, 2016
@DanLinden @AmericanAir yes corporate issue happy to donate it
— Andie MacDowell (@AndieMacDowell3) January 22, 2016
And — of course — American Airlines’ social media account has jumped on the case, because they don’t have thousands of other people to help today:
@AndieMacDowell3 Please DM your record locator and we'll take a look.
— American Airlines (@AmericanAir) January 22, 2016
Phew. Another celebrity taken care of!
