Witney Carson Doubles Down On Her Son Getting Shamed On 13-Hour Flight: 'I Feel Very Validated'

Witney Carson is grateful to fans for having her back after experiencing noise drama on a flight.

The "Dancing With The Stars" choreographer recently shared her grievances with fans, revealing she and one of her sons had clashed with a difficult passenger during a flight.

Witney Carson and her husband, Carson McAllister, welcomed two sons, Kevin Leo and Jet, born in 2021 and 2023, respectively. The lovebirds have been dating since high school and tied the knot in 2016.

After sharing the tale of her flight drama with fans on Sunday, January 25, Carson returned hours later to thank fans for their support. She penned her love to them in an Instagram Story post, dropping a picture of herself giving a thumbs-up.

She looked happy, flashing a smile for the camera, and explained her demeanor in the post's overlay text. "Seems I've reached the right side of Instagram, and I feel very validated. Thanks for letting me rant. We ride at dawn," Carson wrote.

Although she did not share the supportive comments she received, it was clear that Carson was satisfied with the outcome. The outpouring of love began when she revealed that her youngest son got picked on during a flight because of a difficult passenger.

Carson began her story by posing a question to fans on her Instagram Story, asking whether it was right to ask for a child to be quiet during a 13-hour flight. She explained that her youngest son, Jet, had been playing with her when a flight attendant reproached them.

The mother and son were asked to be quiet because a male passenger in the front was bothered by Jet's giggling while resting. However, Carson felt it was unfair to force Jet to stay silent since it was the middle of the day and not nighttime.

Carson argued that the man could have "put some fr-aking earplugs in," and finally snapped when the flight attendant kept shushing her son. She recalled standing up to ask whether there were specific times when people needed to stay silent during a flight, and if not, she wouldn't stand for her kids being shushed.

Carson's flight drama revelation comes days after she and her family traveled to Australia to see her "DWTS" partner, Robert Iriwn. She flooded her Instagram page with several moments from the trip, which captured her bonding with the Irwins for various adventures.

One post captured Carson raving about her time at the Australia Zoo, which was founded by Bob and his late wife, Lyn Irwin. She described her time at the zoo as magical, noting that she and her family experienced so many firsts together at the wildlife sanctuary.

Carson also thanked Robert for his warm welcome, penning her pride and joy in watching him work in his element. The pair became close pals during their time on the dance competition, where they emerged victorious as the new owners of the coveted Mirrorball Trophy.

Carson's victory with Robert marked the second time she had won the Mirrorball Trophy. The first time she emerged victorious was during the competition's season 19 in 2014, nine years before she announced her temporary exit from the dance show.

PEOPLE reported that she chose to leave her post as a professional dancer and choreographer in August 2023 to prioritize motherhood. At the time, Carson had welcomed her second son, Jet, in May and did not want to miss key moments in his development.

Carson told the outlet that "it was a tough decision to make;" nonetheless, she knew it was the right choice. "My kids will only be this little once, so I have to take advantage of it," she explained, adding that she didn't feel ready to participate in the show as she was only three months postpartum.

The Blast shared in May 2023 that Carson had announced her youngest son's arrival in an emotional Instagram post. She penned Jet's birth story in great detail in the caption, revealing he was born a day before Mother's Day.

According to Carson, she began experiencing contractions around 6 pm on May 13 and arrived in the O.R. for a scheduled C-section by 8:45 pm. Jet was born at 9:21 pm, but barely got to spend time in her arms before he was taken to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).

Carson revealed that Jet needed to use the Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine for an hour to help him breathe before spending another hour at the NICU for observation. Fortunately, there were no issues, and she could reunite with her son on Mother's Day.
