JetBlue “Cable Thief” Was A Victim Of Opportunistic Man…
New information has emerged calling into question the angry reaction of a man who accused a woman of stealing his charging cable on a delayed JetBlue flight. In fact, it now appears the man was nothing more than a petty, attention-grabbing, opportunistic child.
Witness: JetBlue “Cable Thief” Was Not The Aggressor…The Man Was
Last week I wrote about an incident that occurred on a JetBlue flight. A man accused a woman onboard of stealing his Apple charging cable during an extended delay. He got really angry…
I questioned (and admittedly still question) whether this was all a carefully choreographed publicity stunt, but apparently it was not…
Clover has now told her side of the story:
When a video from over a year ago taken out of context goes viral…. While I should have responded better, please consider there are always two sides to every story! @RcRelated @RcRelated

First, the incident took place over a year ago. It is not clear why the man, whose name is Ed Orellano, chose to wait so long to go public.
She alleges she never unplugged the cable. Instead, she picked it up off the ground held it up to see if anyone in front of her dropped it, tried to give it to a flight attendant, but was refused. Furthermore, this occurred during a multi-hour flight delay and passengers were instructed to take all their belongings with them if they deboarded, which clarifies further why she may have picked up the cable.
A witness onboard has also come forward and broadly backed Clover’s account (though he did not see if she unplugged it or picked it up off the ground).

Clover also put together a montage of Orellno’s recent appearance on Inside Edition (gotta milk your five minutes of fame, eh?) during which he admits he used the video as ploy to make a viral video (and then sell it).
The fact that this got national coverage in the first place is concerning but here we are @vanessa.clover . @RcRelated

This Orellano really looks like a piece of work and if you listen to his original video, you can even hear his wife thanking Clover for returning the charging cable. He’s the only one who gets mad and his outrage strikes me as about as genuine as a used car salesman telling you not to worry about the rattle in the car.
You might think there are more important stories to cover, but this is one of the stories of our age. Someone annoys you, you film them, you doxx them, you try to ruin them. Well, Ed Orellano, what goes around comes around…I’d never want to hire someone with your temperament and manipulation.
I’m siding with Ms. Clover here…
