A Chanel-carrying woman filmed berating police officers as she was being escorted off a plane is a real estate heiress with parents owning millions in properties, according to the Daily Mail.
Lauren Nash, 38, was captured on bodycam footage during her arrest in April, becoming irate after forcing her way onto an American Airlines flight from Tampa Airport and taking her first-class seat.
She ordered cops to fetch her bags for her and declared she ‘didn’t care’ that she was forcing her entire plane to disembark.
Nash cried out as she was apprehended, mascara running down her face, on her way to being booked in jail for disorderly intoxication.
It is unclear how the case was resolved. The Daily Mail has contacted Tampa Police and Nash for comment.
During her outburst, she attempted to belittle officers by claiming she ‘earns more money in a day than you do in a week.’ Nash’s current occupation is not specified.
However, her father, Bryan ‘Eddie’ Nash, owns numerous multi-million dollar properties in California and Arizona, along with his real estate company, Nash Development.
Bryan also manages the Eddie Nash Foundation for Foster Youth, a charity for foster children, using his business success and for which he draws no salary.

Records suggest that Lauren has worked at several of her father’s companies, including his publishing and real estate companies.
According to records obtained by the Daily Mail, Nash was also previously arrested for aggravated assault, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest in 2013 in Arizona.
She was found guilty on two counts and the aggravated assault charge was dismissed, records showed.
In the footage of Nash’s arrest that went viral this week, she was seen wearing a wearing a bright green Alo tracksuit which exposed her tummy-button piercing as she was marched through Tampa Airport.
A flight attendant was seen at the start of the footage telling officers that a woman was denied boarding but had taken her seat in first class anyway, and warned them that she was having a meltdown.
As the officers boarded the aircraft, Nash began slurring her words and yelling at stewardesses as she was confronted over the fiasco – ordering them to pick up her Chanel bag and Louis Vuitton purse.
When told by the cops to get off the plane or they would be forced to clear the entire jet to arrest her, she responded that she was ‘not worried about the other passengers.’
‘I’m more worried about my rights,’ she said, with a clear slur in her words. ‘And my rights are for you to explain to me what is going on.’
As a cop began to tell her that she boarded the plane illegally, Nash repeatedly interrupted the officer, telling him to ‘wait until I am done’ speaking.
‘I’m well aware of my rights, I’m very well educated,’ she continued. ‘I paid for this seat and I have done absolutely nothing wrong.’
Nash was seen bawling and berating officers as she was escorted through the airport terminal, and repeatedly told the cops: ‘You are sick’

Nash was told by the officer that her refusal to move was going to force him to remove every passenger from the plane.
She then pointed to the cop and ordered him to pick up her bag for her, telling him: ‘You can do that.’
When told that she would have to pick up her own bag, she responded: ‘Are you guys really this sick?’
‘No, what we’re going to do right now is I’m going to start recording this,’ she said, to which the officer responded: ‘Well, I’m recording you too so that’s fine.’
He added in the clip that he had ‘no problem with this going on YouTube’ – with the bodycam footage later circulating widely when shared online this week.
As she was eventually escorted off the plane, Nash asked officers: ‘Don’t you have anything more important to do? You guys are sick, just sick.’
Once in the terminal of the airport, Nash refused to move, telling officers to ‘give me a second’ every few meters as she stopped walking.
The officers then told her she had to keep moving, and when she barked back at them they put her in handcuffs.
‘Are you kidding me?’ she said as she began weeping, while being repeatedly told she would pick up additional charges if she kept resisting.
‘Is this really what you guys are paid for? This is not okay,’ she added.

She continued weeping and yelling at the officers as she was escorted outside, causing mascara to run down her face.
Once they got to a squad car, she grew emotional and asked to be let go, telling the officers: ‘I don’t deserve any of this.’
‘Does this make you guys get off? Like, what the hell.’
Nash began bawling and berating the officers, telling them that they ‘don’t understand that other people work harder than you.’
‘I want you to go home tonight thinking about this, this is so f***ed up,’ she said. ‘What you get paid in a week, I make in a day.’
She bizarrely then telling the officers she ‘voted for you’, adding: ‘I voted for Trump, I’m telling you.’
She then began blaming a ‘black woman’ for calling the cops on her, saying that she ‘didn’t like that I was in first class, and she wanted to slander me.’
As she insisted she was ‘not a criminal’, Nash then demanded she be brought to a special jail more comfortable than the usual facility offered to criminals.
‘I need you to bring me to somewhere else from where you bring everyone else, because I do not belong where it is that you think that I belong,’ she said.
‘If you do not bring me there, I will sue the f*** out of you and your department, period… I want to be comfortable.’
As she asked for the cops’ names and badge numbers, she said: ‘Bring me where I belong, or I will f*** you over… and your family.’
