Fact Check: Video Of Breast-Feeding Flight Passenger Is NOT On A Real Flight -- It Is A Skit It's A Skit

Is a video that shows a breast-feeding woman being told to cover up from a real flight? No, that's not true: The video was a skit performed by actors. The Facebook account where it was originally posted features dozens of other similar videos with a bio that notes they produce "silly skits to make you laugh."

The claim appeared in a post (archived here) by the @trays024 account on X on Sept. 12, 2026. It read:

You all are fine with girls flaunting their boobs and nudes on social media until it's breastfeeding mothers. Mad people 😕.

This is what the post looked like on X at the time of writing:

The video was originally posted by @LifewithMikayla (archived here) on Facebook on Aug. 28, 2026, with the caption "Bullied for breast feeding!" and with the message "This video was produced by Life with Mikayla." This is what the video looked like on Facebook at the time of writing:

Her bio on Facebook (archived here) says that she is an "actor and creator" and produces "silly skits to make you laugh." Her account features dozens of videos -- scripted skits, scenes and storytelling segments -- depicting ridiculous situations on airplanes, in fast-food restaurants and in public. This is a screenshot of her Facebook account taken at the time of writing:

The interior of the airplane looks like one of the sets from Network Media, a company that rents out film sets (archived here) to content producers who publish similar scripted scenes. The design and layout of the seats with the headrests in the fake airplane shown in the video matches a set shown on Network Media's website (archived here):

The same set was used by different influencers for a skit about an FBI agent on a plane and about an ICE agent removing a U.S. citizen from a plane. Lead Stories previously debunked other videos filmed on airplane sets here.
