I’m not a f/a. But look I found a story with more to it....
Quote:
When a young flight attendant distributed water, Uzelac says the man seated next to him joked, “Wow, I hope that’s vodka because we’ve been sitting here for so long.”
According to Uzelac, the attendant replied brusquely, “Yeah, it’s vodka” and when she moved to another row, the man joked, “Hey, this isn’t vodka.”
The employee allegedly returned to Uzelac’s row to confront the passenger, but Uzelac’s wife spoke up. “She said something like, ‘We’re all tired here. And that’s no way to speak to a passenger,’” he tells Yahoo Lifestyle.
“They argued about it. I tried filming but my phone wasn’t working.”

So they were having an argument? What was said?
The company has procedures on how and why to remove a passenger.
The f/a doesn’t have the ability to make up their own rules. Because 1 f/a is required per 50 seats they have to work with others. Removal of a passenger will require the agreement from the other f/a’s and or the captain. I really really doubt we are getting the whole story.
Also due to the DOT extended delay program the f/a is required by law to serve water and snacks or the passengers have a right to deplane. Clock is started at door closure and 90 min is the first marker.
