An Australian porn star says she was escorted off a United Airlines flight for making an unsolicited speech about the death of George Floyd.

Blonde bombshell Elle Knox, 28 — who has appeared in flicks such as “Bra Busting Lesbians” — was flying from Houston to San Francisco Tuesday when she rose to her feet and gave a short speech, she recounted in a series of tweets.

“This isn’t my country, I’m an Australian,” she says she told the 300 passengers onboard. “But I’ve noticed your democracy being threatened. Do not be complacent. Decide what side of history you’d like to be on.”

But some travelers “felt threatened,” prompting calls to police — and when the plane landed in San Francisco, she was escorted off the aircraft, she said on Twitter.

Knox was later told she wasn’t allowed to make “political statements” on the plane, and that she may not be able to board her next flight to Sydney, she wrote.

“I was told I couldn’t make a political statements on a United Airline, I told them this was a human rights statement,” she wrote on her Twitter account, where she describes herself as an “Aussie Hottie who likes to get naked & travel.”

The adult actress later wrote that she was allowed to get on the Wednesday flight to her home country “after much debate.”

Asked by observers why she didn’t simply go to a protest, she claimed that she wasn’t able to.

“If I could, I’d be at a protest! But I can’t, so I used my voice where I could. I’d rather do what I did, than stay silent,” she responded to one Twitter user. “I had a chance for 300 people to hear what I had to say & I took it.”
