There are your rough days, and then there are the days you’re so hopped up on Xanax, GHB, and cocaine that you try escaping a jet by opening the emergency exit door mid-flight.

New York nightlife personality Jordan Fragiacomo, an assistant at the Matinee party and a barber who works out of Hell’s Kitchen, was evidently having one of those days on Monday: He caused quite a scene during his flight from New York to Seattle.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
An unlucky passenger named Shohana Godwin wound up sitting next to Fragiacomo, and revealed to Seattle news channel KIRO 7 that “he kept stopping to go into his bag and then I watched him take a pill out of his bag.”
Meanwhile, he kept babbling about having to “cancel his flight and get off the plane, and just was kind of speaking a little gibberish.”

The New York Post reports that flight crew had to restrain Fragiacomo since he was “babbling incoherently and attempting to kiss two flight attendants.”
“If you continue to restrain me,” Fragiacomo allegedly told the flight attendants, “there’s going to be problems.”
And there were indeed problems: The jet’s pilot was ultimately forced to make an emergency landing at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport at 9:45am EST.
As Elite Daily reports, one passenger recorded the incident and posted the footage to Twitter:

Later, Fragiacomo confessed to authorities that he’d consumed GHB, cocaine, and Xanax three hours before the flight.
As NewNowNext reports, Fragiacomo once worked as a go-go boy at the now-shuttered Chelsea club Splash. Oddly, when asked for his personal identification, he instead showed officers a website that advertises his haircutting skills, including a “hot shave in the privacy of your home.”
After the incident, Fragiacomo was taken to Fairview Southdale Hospital Minnesota.

Chiiiiiiile….and the beat goes on. Ok kids, just a reminder. Stay away from recreational drugs. Drugs Are Bad.
Chile I can’t lol.

Ask your doctor if Sepulveda is right for you.
Heywood Jablowme
Xa n ax is, of course, a perfectly normal drug to take if you’re an anxious flyer (& have a prescription!). The other two are certainly weird choices. I hate to think this publicity will help his haircutting career, but it probably will!
stadacona
He looks so intelligent in that photo…batman tattoo and sideways cap…another gay druggie moron…so many these days.
ChrisK
@stadacona: Why does is matter that he was flying high while flying high? We’ve all done it and so what. He did a bit too much coke and was just looking to take the edge off:)
LucasH
“Nightlife personality”? Is that a thing?
Vman455
Just so you know, “The jet was forced to make an emergency landing at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport at 9:45 a.m. Monday local time” means 9:45 a.m. CDT, not EST.
Mkiel
There is no excuse for such stupidity,he inconvenienced a lot of poeple I hope he pays with a jail sentence
Wheelerman
Don’t care if he was a muscly barber….or if he was gay or straight or on any point on the Kinsey spectrum. Having my flight diverted, thus delayed, because of his bad behavior is unacceptable. I hope he receives some consequences for acting this way.
Kangol
@LucasH: I’m thinking you must be pretty young because the “nightlife personality” thing was really big in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s.
Those legendary celebs of the 1970s and NYC and LA club kids of the 1980s and 1990s were something else. They’ve even received considerable movie treatment at this point but if you go to You Tube or Goo gle, just type in “New York club kids 1980s” and see what comes up.
Back to the story, he’s lucky that combo of “G H B, co caine, and X an ax” didn’t put his heart to sleep, even if it shut off his brain.
JerseyMike
@ChrisK: LMAO.. No we all have not done it. What universe do you live in?
heath0043
@ChrisK: I don’t know anybody that has done it. I don’t know what kind of people you hang with.
paul dorian lord fredine
@LucasH: you’ve never heard of the kardashians?
Curtispsf
@heath0043: If you don’t know anybody who has done the drugs this dude did, then clearly you were not of legal age in the 90s. Now, a MORE appropriate headline for this story would be “ASK your doctor if thorazine would be right for YOU”?
kuma6963
Sounds like a panic attack. Damn tho, if you know you get panic attacks – don’t make it more likely by doing drugs like that before a flight
robho3
@ChrisK: ummmm I’ve never high flown high and in this day and age anyone that would even think of doing something like that is a moron.
MSMiller
“Nightlife personality,” Matinee party assistant, and barber. She’s a regular Texas Guinan, ain’t she.
No
@ChrisK: No, WE haven’t ALL done it. Some of us actually have common sense and haven’t destroyed our brain cells.
No
@kuma6963: Panic or not, one look at his Facebook page and one could surmise that he’s up to his eye balls in the gay drug culture scene. He needs a 12-step program a whole group of new friends and interests.
ChrisK
@No: Ha. You’re right. Girl is a party ho. She needs to come down and I don’t mean on another plane.
Jack Meoff
Another article where the writer assumes all gay men participate in activities such as drug taking. We are not all circuit queens. Once again I say get your head out of the gay ghetto Queerty.
Nixter
Typical gay trash. This is what the world sees. Disgusting.,
Pete
I remember him from Splash, though I mainly went there to spill the tea with Larry and ogle at Alexey’s bulge
da90027
Queerty’s journalism is usually one notch below that of a 13 year old girl…starting at the headline and the lame story that followed
Josh S
Gosh, I wish I could be one of the cool kids — all hip and trendy and cutting edge and hot-bodied and cute and muscley and vapid and drugged up and devoid of any qualities that will sustain me when I’m too old to be a darling of the scene.
scottjamesmiller
@Nixter: Gay people gay bashing. How novel.
MediaGuy
I cringed at the video. That ridiculous fauxhawk and the gonad killing daisy dukes. Sure, he’s going to open the plane door and get off. Fucking psycho. There goes his “career”. How do you ever live that down? He’s got a lifetime of humiliation ahead of him.
Jack Meoff
@MediaGuy: Yeah I cringed too. He looked like the total gay stereotype catastrophe. So many scene queens adopt this look or a variation thereof but does anyone actually find it appealing?
cdndmf
Pretty insensitive reporting from a pro-queer website. Obviously this behavior isn’t acceptable – and yeah, an attractive party-boy trying to wrestle the door off of an airplane mid-fight presents amusing visuals – but the story is that young men in our community routinely engage in drug-addled and self-destructive behavior, and that addiction is rampant among those of us stigmatized and marginalized by society. It’s easy to judge, but just a little effort can let you have some empathy and love for a brother.
Thad
I love the Twin Cities, too, but for god’s sake book a flight directly there, not to Seattle.
He BGB
I know it’s serious but I LAUGHED MY A** OFF. WHEN ASKED FOR HIS ID HE SHOWED THEM HIS HAIR CUTTING TECHNIQUES WEBSITE. I’m rolling on the floor! This is so typical of the Kartrashian generation! Any chance to promote your talentless trashy a**!
seaguy
@stadacona: That picture is probably a modeling photo so he might not dress that way usually.
Nixter
@scottjamesmiller: Nice try, but bullshit. Calling out bad behaviour is not gay bashing.
