Wilton Manors Couple Goes Viral After Meltdown at Airport

Forget Santa’s Naughty list, people are calling for a Wilton Manors man to be put on the No-Fly list.
Video shot at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) shows a man absolutely losing it in the terminal after learning his flight to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) was delayed.
Video of the man quickly went viral after being posted to the izzzjson TikTok account. They have been identified as a Wilton Manors couple, however OutSFL is choosing not to use their names at this point.
Frustrated at the delay, the tall, bald man begins ranting to anyone who would listen, as well as those who wouldn’t. He declares that the airline had “fucked them over.” His husband tries to calm him down and to “think about the girls."
“The girls” have been identified as Shelby and Dolly, their dogs who were waiting for them to come home. The man was inconsolable and kept yelling. The couple got into an argument for the entire crowd at gate B14 to see. The husband kept shouting ‘Shelby and Dolly’ as if repeating their names would conjure their presence or calm the man. Neither happened.

Enrique Cirino is the co-owner of Fierce Art Gallery Studio, an art studio that opened its doors three months ago in Wilton Manors.
“We have a big window and it's a storefront, so people sometimes walk around and they see me working. They come in, they talk, they see our work,” Cirino said.

“They see the process which is basically what I wanted to do because it’s interesting when people go into a gallery studio, they can see how it's made. And I think we all love that.”
Cirino is originally from Venezuela and has lived in Florida since 1999. He has been a video editor for over 20 years. He loves movies; his top three are "All About My Mother," "Moulin Rouge" and "Pulp Fiction."
The gallerist invites anyone who would like to visit the studio to make an appointment through his Instagram.
