'It was humiliating' | United passenger shocked after employee calls her a 'shining monkey'
Attorneys for a Houston woman who said she was verbally attacked by a United Airlines employee are threatening to sue the airline if the worker isn't fired.
The airline said it is "actively pursuing termination" of the employee, identified as 63-year-old Carmella Davana.
Cacille Hughes said she was stunned when Davana called her a "shining monkey" and told her to "stop looking at her with her monkey face" after she asked a question at the gate.
