THE niece of fashion designer Ralph Lauren has been fined 2000 euros ($A3000) for pushing an air hostess and swearing at airline staff.
Jennifer Lauren pleaded guilty to breaching the peace and being drunk on board a transatlantic Delta Air Lines flight which had to be diverted to Shannon Airport in the west of Ireland on Monday afternoon.
The 41-year-old appeared before Ennis District Court in Co Clare, where her solicitor claimed Lauren was upset and embarrassed by her actions, which she said were out of character and caused by a reaction to alcohol mixed with medication.
More than 200 passengers and crew were on board the flight from Barcelona to New York when the air rage incident took place.
The diversion cost Delta $US43,000 ($A48,500).
Lauren bit her lip and looked to the ground in the dock while Garda Inspector Tom Kennedy told the court she had been loud-mouthed, abusive and threatening on the aircraft.
He said the flight, bound for New York's JFK airport, had been in the air for two hours when an air hostess noticed the defendant crying in her seat, which would not recline properly.
He said Lauren told stewardess Constance Topping to "get the f*** out of my face" as she tried to help, and when told to calm down she became more abusive.
The court heard Topping went to brief her supervisor Jennifer Simpson at the top of the plane and Lauren followed her through first class and in the galley "at speed" where she ranted, roared and shouted incoherently.
"She told the air hostess she was going to go ballistic and pushed the air hostess hard and she hit her back against the wall of the aircraft," Mr Kennedy said.
He revealed her frightening experience continued with Lauren calling her a "f***ing ugly, blonde bitch" and called Simpson a "fat ugly, unhappy, blonde bitch".
A pilot on a rest break in the cabin also intervened and was called "an asshole" by the defendant, Kennedy added.
Lauren, dressed in a black jumper, burgundy velvet skirt and boots, looked back to her friends for reassurance as the details were outlined to the packed courtroom.
