Actress Tara Reid , reportedly booted from a Delta Air Lines flight this week after witnesses said she threw a tantrum about getting the wrong seat, said Wednesday she gracefully got off the plane on her own after a flight attendant asked her to stow her puppy in an overhead bin.

Reid, who got off the Los Angeles to New York flight before it left the ground on Monday, offered her alternative account of what happened on Instagram , saying the trouble started when a flight attendant asked her to place her puppy in an overhead bin.

Reid said she feared the animal would suffocate and refused. The flight attendant then suggested that the animal be placed in the belly of the plane, Reid continued. She said she gracefully declined and deboarded the plane of my own accord ... without any incident.

Delta told TMZ that Reids story doesnt fly. A flight attendant suggested Reid put her pet carrier in the bin, not the dog, an airline spokesperson said. Reid was told she could keep her dog in her lap or by her feet, said the rep, adding that Reid was very unruly and disruptive.
