Eric André Says He Was ‘Racially Profiled’ and ‘Detained’ at Melbourne Airport: ‘I Do Not Feel Safe. I Do Not Want to Be Humiliated’


Eric Andre alleged he was 'detained' and 'racially profiled' at the Melbourne Airport, saying, 'I do not feel safe.'

André then asked his nearly 3 million followers if anyone had information about the specific police program, or statistics on how many white passengers versus people of color are selected. Together with comedian Clayton English, who separately alleged he was racially profiled and drug searched at the same airport, Andre filed a lawsuit against the police program, saying it violates the constitutional rights of airline passengers. André is best known for creating and hosting the Adult Swim experimental talk series “The Eric Andre Show,” and for his roles in “The Righteous Gemstones,” “Bad Trip” and the 2019 “Lion King” remake.
