Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s niece was foaming at the mouth after being kicked off a Spirit Airlines flight on Thanksgiving.
Shannon Epstein, 25, of New Jersey, was on a flight from New Orleans, Louisiana, to New Jersey at 6 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day when she allegedly began to behave aggressively and the plane was forced to turn back at the gate.
Epstein, who had asked a nearby Latino family if they “smuggled cocaine,” refused to exit the boarding bridge, instead showing “unusual strength” when trying to fend off cops, according to a New York police report Post .
Police eventually handcuffed Epstein — who shouted, “Do you know who I am?” but she “continued fighting the handcuffs, kicking, spitting at MPs and trying to break free,” the report said.
“Do you think I have cocaine in my P—y?” she asked, then reportedly screamed for several minutes.
The former governor’s niece was charged with assaulting a police officer, disturbing the peace, resisting violent arrest and remaining after interdiction.

On the plane, Epstein asked a Latino family sitting nearby if they “smuggled cocaine.”
The plane had already cleared the gate and was forced to turn back because her antics — Epstein became furious after being approached by authorities — became “extremely combative.”
Epstein “mudded her words” and “had white frothing from the sides of her mouth,” according to the report.
It continued, “Epstein punched me, kicked me, spat in my face and twisted as she tried to free herself from my grip.”
According to the report, when officers attempted to handcuff Epstein, she was “aggressive and displayed unusual strength” during the fight.
“I overheard Epstein berating Deputy Ducos and the two agents,” an officer with the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office wrote in the police report. “Epstein refused to follow her instructions to exit the jetway.”
She then dumped her famous uncle — Chris Christie — but claimed she was his daughter, then said she knew former President Trump.
Her seemingly drunken tirade continued: “By this time tomorrow you will both be in jail. What the hell have I done? I am a lesbian. Is that it? wanna stick your cock in me It is, isn’t it. Is that what it’s about? You want to put your cock in my mouth, right? You’re so f—ed you asshole.’
She allegedly threatened local sheriff’s deputies and said her uncle was friends with former President Donald Trump and that she knew some important people

Police say they were forced to throw her to the ground when she became violent and bit an officer’s left bicep, “ripping the skin off”.
Epstein allegedly injured six sheriff’s deputies, kicking one in the groin and even biting one of them so hard that she broke her skin during her angry tirade.
Even when she was arrested, “she continued to fight handcuffs, kick, spit at MPs and try to free herself,” the report says. When asked if she was aware of what was happening, she replied, “I’m very aware.”
“Do you think I have cocaine in my P—y?” she asked, then reportedly screamed for several minutes.
“Wow, do you like Chris Christie? He’s fucking friends with Donald Trump,” she ranted.
Epstein had to be handcuffed to a wheelchair by sheriff’s deputies when she was forced off the plane, Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office spokesman Capt. Jason Rivarde told NOLA.com.
Rivarde added: “Throughout her interactions with MPs, she repeatedly stated that they would lose their jobs or be arrested because of their family ties.”

have reached out to Christie and Epstein for comment – but they declined to reply.
Her father, Philip Epstein, also lives in New Jersey and it’s not clear why she was in New Orleans before the altercation – but she could have returned home for the Thanksgiving celebrations.
