Irish actor and star of Tudors, Jonathan Rhys Meyers has a problem with alcohol. In 2007, he checked into rehab for a second time and in June 2009, he checked into rehab for a third time after getting arrested for attacking staff at a bar in a Paris airport.

Jonathan was banned from flying on United Airlines earlier this month after he became belligerent after "pounding drinks" early in the a.m. in the first class lounge at the JFK airport in New York.
When airline workers noticed the actor drinking and getting out of control they prevented him from boarding the flight to Los Angeles. Meyers, growing furious, flung the 'N' word.
It's unclear if Jonathan was calling someone the N-word, or if he was just slur droppin' like it's hot.
The Tudors star used the racial slur as he was being informed by the airline that they were not going to allow him to board the plane.
That's why his a*s is now banned from United Airlines flights. Gawd, I wish I had that much power to ban jerks who work my nerves. I'd get all Arizona on 'em. They wouldn't be allowed to walk into bars or clubs, purchase condoms, cash checks, or make reservations of any kind - and that's just phase one. Banning an a*shole from a flight is a great start though.
And no, I don't think Jonathan is racist and I'm not so sure that I care if he is, either. I don't think it's impossible for racists to exist today. I don't think we have enough info to come to that conclusion. He's like the male equivalent of Lindsay Lohan, only much more talented. It's time for Jonny to put the booze down and get it together already, or buy his own jet to fly around in cause airports aren't for drunken divas.
