Sharon Lavy, a Jewish flight attendant, sued Delta Airlines for discrimination and harassment, claiming retaliation after reporting antisemitism and support for Hamas among coworkers. Delta allegedly used "ambush tactics," including a deepfake video showing Lavy on a flight she wasn't trained for, along with other false accusations to justify her firing. A colleague, Roey Segev, filed a similar lawsuit.
