Guinness Heiress In Court for Drunken Striptease on Plane

'Cavorted' with passenger, threw child's dirty diaper, testify witnesses

Share

(Newser) – A descendant of the Guinness brewing family got so drunk on a long flight that she "cavorted" with a male passenger, took off her skirt, and threw her son’s dirty diaper into a row of seats, observers say. A flight attendant said “she had absolutely no clue about the child and the way she was behaving was not tipsy, but drunk,” the Daily Telegraph reports.

The staff stopped giving Clare Irby alcohol after four hours. “You can't say no to us,” said Irby and the man, who was with his girlfriend on the 11-hour flight. Irby was arrested upon landing and denies having been drunk.

If she'd flown Irish Aer they wouldna noticed. (And anyway, shouldn't Guinness provide a company jet with free product?) Reply

Gives new meaning to a black and tan. Sounds like a scandal is brewing. Such behavior is beyond the pale. She was clearly at lagerheads with the crew. They shouldn't keep serving liquor on those long hops. There; that's all the beer puns I can think of. Reply
