Alec Baldwin was removed from an American Airlines flight on Dec. 6 in LAX for playing the game Words With Friends. Baldwin and American Airlines released conflicting versions of what happened during the incident. American Airlines posted a statement to Facebook, while Baldwin (who previously attacked the behavior of the airline on Twitter) posted his version of the story via a blog on the Huffington Post.

Celebritology breaks down Baldwin’s post:

But the actor’s note is really a lament on what he describes as modern air travel’s lack of “common sense, style, and service.”

Baldwin believes he was singled out for using his phone at the gate, he writes. The actor admits the female flight attendant, who he said used “the most unpleasant of tones,” “did get the better of me.”

He also blames the decrease in service on flight attendants “who walk the aisles of an airplane with a whistle around their neck and a clipboard in their hands and they have made flying a Greyhound bus experience.”

-Peter Buck: The REM guitarist was charged with assault and intoxication after overturning a meal trolley and scuffling with crew on a 2002 British Airways flight; cleared after arguing that a bad mix of sleeping pills and wine messed him up.

-Victoria Osteen: The televangelist’s wife got into it with a flight attendant over some spilled liquid before a Houston-to-Vail trip in 2005, was asked to leave the plane.

-Gerard Depardieu: Held up a flight for two hours in August when a cleaning crew was called in after he relieved himself in a first-class aisle.

Although Baldwin’s fellow passengers may have gotten the raw end of the deal in this situation, the maker of Words With Friends seems to have ended up on top. Michael Pachter, an analyst at Wedbush Securities, said Baldwin’s addiction will likely have a positive impact on Zynga, a company currently engaging in an IPO marketing effort, reports Bloomberg:

“This is phenomenal for Zynga,” said Pachter, who’s based in Los Angeles. “The problem for Zynga with investors has been that the average portfolio manager doesn’t relate to their games. This definitely helps change their perception.”

Zynga took up Baldwin’s cause with Twitter posts featuring the phrase, “#LetAlecPlay.” “Words With Friends” is Zynga’s sixth most popular game, according to Appdata.com.
