A court has ordered an airline to pay for psychotherapy for a Brazilian plus-sized model who was stopped from boarding a flight ‘because she was too big for her seat’.

Social media influencer Juliana Nehme, 38, claimed earlier this year that she was stopped from boarding a Qatar Airways flight because she was too large and accused the middle eastern airline of discriminating against her due to her size.

In a post for her 167,000 Instagram followers, Juliana said at the time: ‘They are denying my right to travel… I’m desperate, help me, they don’t want me to board because I’m fat.’

Now a court in Sao Paulo has ordered Qatar Airways to pay for psychotherapy for Juliana so she can come to terms with the distress caused by the incident.

The company had earlier responded Nehme’s claims by insisting she was ‘extremely rude and aggressive to check-in staff’.
