Does a video showing a flight attendant trying to cover up a bikini-clad woman on a Miami flight depict a real situation? No, that's not true: The clip shows actors. The earliest posts sharing the video mentioned Network Media, LLC, a company that previously said it rents out film sets to various online "content producers".
The claim appeared in a post (archived here) published on X on September 24, 2025. It opened:
Flight attendant makes her cover up 😱.
In the video from the post, a woman in a flight attendant uniform was seen saying to a female passenger wearing a swimsuit:
In order to take this flight, you're either gonna have to cover up or you're gonna have to get off.
To that, one of the bikini-clad woman's male companions replied:
We're literally going to Miami swim... swimming.
This is what the thumbnail of the video from the post looked like on X at the time of writing:

The footage began circulating online at least two months before the post on X reviewed in this fact check went live.
On July 17, 2025, the video had been uploaded (archived here) to a TikTok account whose handle mentioned "Network Media".
Four days later, it was published (archived here) on Facebook by Jordan Cooley, and that description said:
This is a video drama produced by Jordan Cooley and Network Media LLC.
The same bikini-wearing woman appeared in other videos (archived here) published on that page.
The bio line (archived here) in Cooley's account read:
Professional Content Creator -- All skits & video productions are performed by professional Actors. 🙏🏼🖤
The entity named responsible for his page was JS HOLDINGS 1 NM LLC, a parent company to "Network Media". "Network Media", in turn, previously stated that it rents out film sets to "content producers" who publish similar scripted scenes:
