The 'Big Bang Theory' star said she was flying with husband Tom Pelphrey and their 9-month-old daughter Matilda for the first time when their decision to use a sound machine to help Matilda sleep ended up causing friction with a fellow passenger.

While appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live last week, Kaley Cuoco detailed an incident with a fellow passenger that occurred on a flight over the Thanksgiving holiday, and people online are split over who was in the wrong.

The Big Bang Theory star told Kimmel she was enraged when a passenger on her flight complained about the sound machine she and husband, Ozark star Tom Pelphrey, were using to help their 9-month-old daughter Matilda sleep on her first-ever flight.


She shared with the host that she was "so terrified" of flying with an infant for the first time and decided to bring the machine because "it's the only thing she can go to sleep to."

But apparently, it wasn't soothing for everyone on the plane.

She told the host:

“So she’s crying [on the plane]. She finally falls asleep and she’s on Tom, and the sound machine is on and we were finally like [ugh].”

Immediately after, however, the Flight Attendant actor learned another passenger complained about the noise.

“The steward comes over and he’s like, ‘Hey, one of our passengers would love it if you would turn the sound machine off’...and I’m sitting there and I’m like, ‘Oh my god. Oh my god.'"

Cuoco said that she and her husband were "so angry" at the passenger.

“And I can feel Tom be like, ‘Hey, ask the passenger if she wants to hold our screaming child when we turn it off.’ I mean, the ice went into his veins."

When the plane landed, they found out the traveler who made the complaint was sitting directly in front of them.

“So then we landed, and it was the woman right in front of us. And so we get up and now Matilda is like, ‘Haha, life is great.’ The lady turns around and she goes, ‘Oh, so your daughter does know how to smile.'"

The Meet Cute actor then quipped:

“It was in that moment where I understood why women end up on ‘Dateline.’ I could have strangled her.”
“I could have thrown that woman off the plane."

People on social media shared their thoughts on the situation.

Many felt Cuoco was providing a service to other passengers by utilizing the sound machine, arguing the alternative would have been much worse for the complaining passenger.

Others, however, expressed that using anything that emits noise, regardless of its intent, is inconsiderate.




And some were split, acknowledging both parties had valid arguments.


That's a tough one, but it does seem Cuoco was being proactive by bringing along the machine. Perhaps everyone can learn a thing or two from her experience.

President Donald Trump is facing heavy criticism after his administration said in a new court filing that the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts "will be required to be taken down" if Trump's name isn't allowed to be added along with his other desired renovations for the building.

The Kennedy Center’s board of trustees voted Thursday to add Trump’s name to the building again, this time with a qualification: the proposed inscription would read, “The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Restored and Renovated by President Donald J. Trump.”
