Olivia Ponton Bursts Into Tears Amid Feeling Overwhelmed in Paris Airport: 'Balling My Eyes Out'
@Source: people.com
Olivia Ponton is getting candid about feeling overwhelmed while in Paris. The Sports Illustrated model, 23, uploaded a video to her Instagram, in which she is seen in tears in a Paris airport amid her travels. Ponton discusses the challenges she's facing as she attempts to navigate a French terminal alone. "I'm in the Paris airport and I'm so f---ing lost and there are no signs and nothing makes sense — like it keeps telling me to go to 2D. 2D doesn't exist, and nothing works here," she says through tears in the video posted on Wednesday, July 16. "See, it keeps telling me to go down these fricken stairs, but when I come here, the train only says that it goes to M, L and K, and I need to go to f---ing D," Ponton continues while trying to navigate the airport. "Like what does that even mean?" she pleads, putting her hand to her face, visibly and audibly defeated. "I've literally been walking around this f---ing airport for like 30 minutes, just like, balling my eyes out... I'm so lost." "I can't with this airport," the content creator says, seemingly struggling to put her sweatshirt hood on her head to conclude her clip. She captioned her Instagram post, "paris airport will humble you 💔💔." In a different clip shared on TikTok, Ponton explained what happened next. "You may wonder how I got home from this instance," said Ponton, who cut to a clip of herself crying from the previous Instagram video in the Paris airport. While the media personality didn't share specific details on how she made it to the gate amid her emotional breakdown, she did shed light on what happened before and after. "The day started off quite early. It was 5 a.m. We're at the hotel that the Delta people booked us at. I'm eating a Nutella crepe for breakfast, like anything goes when you're at the airport, right?" she says before heading out. "I called an Uber. It ended up cancelling on me right away... so I waited for a new one," she continues in the clip. "I was determined to not miss my flight. I got there so early," she adds, noting that she slept for approximately three hours. Ponton then shared a personal tip for viewers traveling to Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG), the French city's primary international airport serving a wide variety of countries through its multiple terminals. "Let this be your sign if you're doing Europe traveling, do not fly into CDG in Paris. Please," she says. Then, Ponton arrived at the airport, sharing that she was "off to a breeze" at the start. She even had time to head to the lounge and have a proper breakfast before heading to her gate. Once the influencer boarded the plane, she said they all had to deplane. Then, she said they boarded again about an hour and a half later. "At this point, you can see the tired in my eyes," Ponton called out, adding, "You can tell that my brain was just not functioning." The social media star documented her plane activities, which included reading, sleeping, eating and brushing her hair. She concluded, "After 48 hours, I am finally home." Before her European travels, Ponton — who is a Florida native and currently based out of New York City — was recently spotted out in Manhattan with her rumored boyfriend, Joe Burrow. The Cincinnati Bengals quarterback and influencer were seen walking alongside each other during a night out with friends at the end of June, six months after they sparked romance rumors in December 2024. Burrow, 28, and the social media star's outing comes one month after they were spotted in public together at Miami F1 on May 4. On May 5, Ponton was questioned by TMZ in N.Y.C. upon her return home from the prestigious racing event, but she refused to answer any questions about her rumored romance with the NFL star. The pair were first linked at the end of last year following reports that Ponton called in a burglary at Burrow's home in Ohio.
