The 'Big Bang Theory' star said she was flying with husband Tom Pelphrey and their 9-month-old daughter Matilda for the first time when their decision to use a sound machine to help Matilda sleep ended up causing friction with a fellow passenger.

While appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live last week, Kaley Cuoco detailed an incident with a fellow passenger that occurred on a flight over the Thanksgiving holiday, and people online are split over who was in the wrong.

The Big Bang Theory star told Kimmel she was enraged when a passenger on her flight complained about the sound machine she and husband, Ozark star Tom Pelphrey, were using to help their 9-month-old daughter Matilda sleep on her first-ever flight.


She shared with the host that she was "so terrified" of flying with an infant for the first time and decided to bring the machine because "it's the only thing she can go to sleep to."

But apparently, it wasn't soothing for everyone on the plane.

She told the host:

“So she’s crying [on the plane]. She finally falls asleep and she’s on Tom, and the sound machine is on and we were finally like [ugh].”

Immediately after, however, the Flight Attendant actor learned another passenger complained about the noise.

“The steward comes over and he’s like, ‘Hey, one of our passengers would love it if you would turn the sound machine off’...and I’m sitting there and I’m like, ‘Oh my god. Oh my god.'"

Cuoco said that she and her husband were "so angry" at the passenger.

“And I can feel Tom be like, ‘Hey, ask the passenger if she wants to hold our screaming child when we turn it off.’ I mean, the ice went into his veins."

When the plane landed, they found out the traveler who made the complaint was sitting directly in front of them.

“So then we landed, and it was the woman right in front of us. And so we get up and now Matilda is like, ‘Haha, life is great.’ The lady turns around and she goes, ‘Oh, so your daughter does know how to smile.'"

The Meet Cute actor then quipped:

“It was in that moment where I understood why women end up on ‘Dateline.’ I could have strangled her.”
“I could have thrown that woman off the plane."

People on social media shared their thoughts on the situation.

Many felt Cuoco was providing a service to other passengers by utilizing the sound machine, arguing the alternative would have been much worse for the complaining passenger.

Others, however, expressed that using anything that emits noise, regardless of its intent, is inconsiderate.




And some were split, acknowledging both parties had valid arguments.


That's a tough one, but it does seem Cuoco was being proactive by bringing along the machine. Perhaps everyone can learn a thing or two from her experience.

Model Accuses Fashion Brand Of Using AI To Recreate Her Looks For Ad Instead Of Hiring Her

There used to be laws in place for someone's likeness being used without their consent, and most certainly if their likeness was being used in an exploitative way for profit.

But now with the rise of AI-generated photographs, advertisements, and other digital products, the lines seem to have become muddied between the illegal stealing of someone's likeness and AI "inspiration."

TikToker Secretly Records Unhinged Spectrum Employee Screaming At Her For Trying To Cancel Her Service

Employees in commission-based positions are feeling increasingly pressured to acquire new clients, retain previous clients, and solve the issues their clients call in about with high satisfaction ratings.

Even though tensions are high, and the pressure they're feeling may be unrealistic for any one person to take, that doesn't give them the right to mistreat people who do not want to sign up or want to cancel.
