Michelle Williams ended up “crying real tears” during a bad flight experience. The 45-year-old singer - who is best known as part of Destiny’s Child alongside Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland - took to social media on Sunday, April 6, to reveal her horror on board an airplane when one of her fellow passengers put their bare foot up beside her.
She wrote on Instagram: “I PROMISE YOU BETTA GETCHO FOOT FROM ME!!!! “Y’all this is happening neowwwwwwww on my flight and I am crying real tears!!” The ‘Bootylicious’ hitmaker confirmed that she was in first class on the flight as she replied to fans in the comments section of her post.

“Never be de-feet-ed. Y’all, I was almost de-feet-ed. Almost defeated, with somebody’s feet."
