Los Angeles ( CNN ) -- Actor Brandon T. Jackson was kicked off a US Airways flight Monday because he was disruptive , the airline told CNN Wednesday . The `` Tropic Thunder '' star claims that it was other passengers who were loud and that the flight attendant who reported him called him the `` n-word . '' `` The disruptive behavior started with loud music being played by Mr. Jackson at his seat , '' the airline said . `` He was asked several times to turn down the music . Additional erratic behavior was observed , and that is when the crew made the decision to stop serving . If the crew determines to no longer serve alcohol to a customer , then their decision is definitive at that point . '' But Jackson 's rep insisted the actor was not served any drinks before the incident , which he said began when Jackson walked to the back of the plane to ask for two sandwiches for himself and a seat mate . The attendant told him that other passengers had complained that he was being too loud , he said . `` The flight attendant told him to sit down and ' I do n't care if you 're Obama 's son , ' then used a derogatory word -- seemingly in jest , '' the rep said . US Airways `` fully supports the actions of the crew in this situation , '' and the attendant `` denied any use of the n-word or racist slurs '' with Jackson , the airline said . Jackson `` was disruptive and our crew made the right decision , '' the airline said . `` This is in line with federal regulations and our policies . '' The attendant 's remark `` obviously upset Brandon , so he said he was going to report it to the airline , '' the rep said . The attendant told the pilot a passenger was disruptive , and the report was relayed to officials at the Phoenix airport , where he was to catch a connecting flight to Los Angeles , he said . `` The flight attendant made it seem to Brandon that they were going to land prematurely because of him , which alarmed him ( and the reason he took to Twitter immediately ) , '' the rep said . Jackson , who was traveling from New York to Los Angeles for an audition , tweeted to his 205,000 followers from the plane : . `` blogs please pic this up US Airways the most racist thing happen i was called the N word '' I do n't care if your obama son '' she said '' `` they want to escort me off the plane for her saying racial stuff i have witness '' `` i wish this racist generation just hurry up and die off ... im tired of this '' `` GUYS i need you help i am not going to jail for be called racial slurs please ... '' Airport police questioned Jackson after he stepped off the flight in Phoenix , his rep said . The rep said 13 other passengers confirmed Jackson 's story that he was not drunk or disruptive . Afterward , Jackson tweeted again : `` I was released from question and stranded in phx they will not let me fly anymore I do n't want to .. I 'm taking this to CNN '' He boarded another flight to Los Angeles Tuesday morning , his rep said . Jackson 's rep provided a statement from a woman he said was seated next to Jackson on the flight , whom he did n't know before boarding . `` He was n't being rowdy at all , and definitely not intoxicated , '' Elisabeth Schwarz said . `` There was another exit row in front of us that was standing , drinking and making noise . We were all in shock when the attendant insinuated other passengers were complaining . The other flight attendant even told us we were n't doing anything wrong . '' Jackson 's statement also included a conciliatory quote from the actor : `` I realize this was just one flight attendant acting inappropriately and I appreciate the support of the other passengers , US Airways staff at the Phoenix airport , and the Phoenix airport police . '' CNN 's Carolyn Sung contributed to this report .
