Actress Cara Delevingne was reportedly detained in Paris earlier this month following a "meltdown" over her luggage.
The 23-year-old former model was temporarily banned from boarding the Eurostar back to London's St Pancras on May 5 after she allegedly launched into a foul-mouthed rant because security had pulled her suitcase aside for a check, reported Female First.
"It was a full-on meltdown in the middle of security. There were at least 20 people around and she didn't seem to care who saw. It was like she thought she didn't have to abide by the same rules as everyone else just because she's famous," an onlooker said.
"Cara was with a friend who was trying to calm her down, but it wasn't working. She shouted 'let him do his job, it's ridiculous'. She got down on her knees and put her hands together as if she was praying for the whole thing to be over. It was bizarre."
The actress was reportedly slapped with a fine for verbal abuse as she allegedly used an expletive against a female officer before being taken upstairs for intense questioning.
