A woman's profane tirade at Florida's Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport over the weekend has gone viral.

The female passenger was seen screaming at a JetBlue staff member, calling him a "rapist" and claiming to have a gun on her.

The disturbing incident was caught on camera by rapper Post Malone's manager, Dre London, who posted the footage to Instagram.

"So yesterday I was stuck in the airport for 10hrs as #JetBlue flight was canceled due to computer failure. They said we would send another plane from New York but this took many hrs," wrote London. "While in Fort Lauderdale airport everyone remained calm apart from this woman who went crazy on #JetBlue staff called him a rapist & she said she had a gun on me + many crazy things in front of kids."

The woman is seen hoisting herself onto the counter several times and claims that she's homeless before grabbing her bag and walking away. A second video captured by London shows the woman sitting on the ground surrounded by police officers.

According to JetBlue, the woman was upset that she had been denied boarding because she was suspected of being intoxicated.

"On January 6, crew members at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport requested assistance from local law enforcement after a customer was denied boarding for indications of intoxication and became disruptive," an airline spokesperson told Yahoo. "The customer in the viral video was scheduled on a flight which did not experience any major delays."

The incident comes nearly one year after a Delta Air Lines employee was caught on camera cursing at a passenger, prompting a suspension and a formal apology from the airline.
