A woman who went viral after refusing to swap seats said she's suing the airline - and the passenger who filmed her

Jeniffer Castro, a 29-year-old bank worker from Brazil, recently became the center of an online controversy after refusing to give her airline seat to a child. The situation escalated when a fellow passenger filmed her response, which went viral on TikTok and other platforms. In reaction to the incident, which garnered widespread criticism, Castro announced plans to sue the airline and the person who filmed her, citing a violation of her privacy and the emotional impact of the viral incident on her life.

"Since that incident, my life has taken a turn I could never have imagined."
