*Marlon Wayans took to social media to slam United Airlines over a “racist” incident at Denver International Airport on Friday.
The comedian/actor explained in a series of Instagram posts, that he was informed by a gate agent that he had too many carry-on bags.
“I complied and consolidated them, (and) he was like, ‘Oh, now you have to check that bag,’ ” Wayans wrote. “Most agents are always love but every now and then you come across BAD PEOPLE. This was one of them.”
As USA Today reports, United Airlines addressed the incident in a statement, saying: “A customer who had been told he would have to gate-check his bag instead pushed past a United employee at the jet bridge and attempted to board the aircraft.”

Wayans claims he did not get physical with the gate agent, but he was issued a citation.
“Yes, a ticket … that’s all they could give me,” the comedian wrote.
“Dude tried to lie and say i assaulted him. The video clearly shows i never touched him. He was desperate to try to have some authority.”
Wayans added, “This agent was clearly picking on me. He asked me to consolidate my bags and I complied.”
“I grabbed my ticket off the counter (and) got on the plane.”
Denver Police issued a citation to the “Scary Movie”star for disturbing the peace.
Wayans missed his Kansas City stand-up comedy shows because of the airport incident.

“Y’all owe me money for my shows i missed, y’all owe me for my troubles, y’all owe my fans a damn apology. This was the highest level of disrespect. And should’ve been avoided,” Wayans posted on IG.
“Black people (experience) all kinds of racism and classism. I won’t allow this. Over a bag?” he wrote.
Wayans posted a video on Saturday in which he claims that someone from corporate contacted him and defended the gate agent.
