Flight Attendant Sues Danzeisen Over Private Jet Assault | Tech News

A former flight attendant is suing Matthew Danzeisen, Peter Thiel’s husband, alleging assault on a private jet in July 2024—claiming he shoved her and hurled cooler bags, causing serious injuries requiring surgery. Danzeisen counters, saying he was just clearing luggage to let his kids use the bathroom, and accuses her of extortion and a smear campaign, even seeking a gag order. The case spirals in federal court, with legal experts debating whether Danzeisen or Thiel Capital qualifies as her employer—and whether workers’ comp bars her lawsuit. The flight attendant also alleges a pattern of abuse, including prior incidents and staff quitting over Danzeisen’s temper, with one crew member nearly struck by a fork.
