'My wife and I got into an argument Monday afternoon on a Delta flight from Austin to LA. I was asked to lower my voice and I did. Approximately 10 minutes later I was asked to leave the flight. And I did so immediately. I was not forcibly removed,' he said.
'I rebooked myself on a Southwest flight 2 hours later and traveled home without any further issue. I let my emotions get the better of me, end of story. Must be a slow news cycle.'
Sources told the publication that an air marshal and three flight attendants removed him from the plane in Austin while his wife, Cassandra Jean, looked visibly embarrassed.
The couple were in town for the ATX Festival and were seen laughing with Aisha Tyler at the panel for their indy flick, Speech & Debate.
