Jessica Chastain pulled after blasting JetBlue over 'embarrassing' $15 refund: 'Read the room'


Oscar winner Jessica Chastain is being slammed on social media after she trashed JetBlue with a $15 credit for her in-flight entertainment.

The “Zero Dark Thirty” actress, 47, hit out at X (formerly Twitter) in a since-deleted post after her “flight entertainment system” malfunctioned during the 6-hour flight.

“Thank you @JetBlue for your $15.00 credit. My flight was $1,500 and the credit is 1/100 of what I paid you,” Chastain's deleted tweet posted on Wednesday read. “Surprisingly I paid for your flight entertainment system. Which didn't work out for the duration of my 6 hour flight, but I guess it was worth it for that $15 credit.”

The star made sure to attach her receipt to the tweet — and she didn't stop there.

After JetBlue X apologized to Chastain, writing, “We're sorry you're disappointed, Jessica. Please send us a DM so we can look into it,” the actress did just that, including a screenshot of the conversation she had already had with the airline's customer service.

When the service agent informed Chastain that she had been issued a $15 credit, she replied, “I understand but I spent $1,500 on the flight and so did my husband. There should be some flight credit or something since I have a TrueBlue account and I'm a loyal customer.” .

When the “Molly's Game” actress demanded to do more, the agent told her, “I'm sorry I can't do more.”

Chastain's allegations drew criticism from online sleuths, who trashed the actress — who recently listed her NYC home for $7.45 million — for publicly dragging the airline. Many Floridians accused him of being “tone-deaf” considering they lost everything in Hurricanes Helen and Hurricanes Milton.

“Read the room,” replied an X user. “Jessica Chastain is so embarrassing,” another responded. A third joked that “getting upset with an airline and blasting them on social media” made Chastain “our modern-day Princess Di.”

But not everyone had a negative reaction to Chastain's tweet. Some users stuck for stars.

Author Louis Pitzman wrote, “Many of you would tweet like Jessica Chastain if you were her level of fame. I know it in my soul.”

Another person said that “it's good that a celebrity is complaining publicly,” claiming, “Airlines have no responsibility when it comes to customer service, experience or even the basics like on time.”

The Post reached out to JetBlue and Chastain's rep.
