A NEWLYWED wife screamed “you’ve f****d our honeymoon” at her drunk husband as he was thrown off their flight for punching two members of the cabin crew.
Michael Cunnett launched a foul-mouthed homophobic tirade at easyJet crew on the Egypt-bound flight when they told him he couldn’t smoke on board.
He lashed out at the two flight attendants before being carted off the plane by cops as his wife shouted: “Look what you’ve done.”
The 38-year-old carried on his abuse in the police car, calling an officer a “baldy c***” before knocking himself out by head butting the cage, Lewes Crown Court heard.
FOUR PINTS OF STELLA
Plasterer Cunnett, from Epsom, was jailed for seven months and ordered to pay £1000 after punching crew on the flight from Gatwick to Egypt.
The court heard Cunnett downed four pints of Stella before the 9am flight.
Ryan Richter, prosecuting, said cabin crew had spotted that Cunnett was being louder than the other passengers as he boarded the flight.
Cunnett used homophobic slurs before striking cabin crew Andre Botha, who he floored with two punches.
‘YOU’VE F****D OUR HONEYMOON’
Another flight attendant, Christopher Bogley, asked Cunnett to calm down, but he was also struck.
The cabin crew members felt intimidated, leaving Mr Botha fearing for his safety and wondering if he may be attacked again.
Mr Bogley, who has worked as a flight attendant, for 12 years, said: “He didn’t know my sexuality, but I am a gay man and proud of it.
“It is not a lifestyle choice, it is natural and no one deserves to be discriminated against for their sexuality.
“Many people struggle with it, and deal with mental health problems on a daily basis. His remarks to me were personal.
“If he travels again, my hope is that he will treat people with respect and acknowledge that he lives in a diverse society which is something that should be embraced, not ridiculed.”

Judge David Rennie praised Mr Bogley’s statement and said: “It was sensitive and fair, and it echoes all right-thinking people in society.”
David Forsyth, defending, said Cunnett, of Tonstall Road in Epsom, Surrey, was “fully aware that his behaviour was reprehensible” and was “thoroughly embarrassed and ashamed”.
He accepted that other passengers would have been frightened and alarmed.
He admitted interfering with the performance of cabin crew, two common assaults and criminal damage.
The judge ordered him to pay £500 compensation to both victims.

He said: “It was like a child having a tantrum. You chose to drink four pints and to behave in a foul-mouthed, highly abusive manner. Something of your true character did reveal itself.
“We do have to ask why airports are selling that amount of alcohol outside of usual licensing hours.
“An attack on the perceived sexuality of these men was utterly shameful. People like you find yourself on the edge of society.
“Only an immediate custodial sentence can be justified.”
