One minute a folk hero, the next a  faux hero?

That could be the case  for the now famous JetBlue flight attendant Steve Slater, as  a woman  aboard the Pittsburgh-to-New York flight claims Slater was rude with guests, had been drinking during the flight, and sported a gash on his head before his alleged altercation with another passenger. 

Lauren Wood, who was aboard the flight, wrote on her blog that the the 38-year-old New Yorker "was a jerk" and "is not some hero for sticking it to the man."

Appearing on Good Morning America on Friday, Wood said that Slater was "very rude" at different times of the flight. She said that during his diatribe, he pounded on the emergency exit, fell down and pushed people -- including the pilots and other flight attendants trying to stop him.

Wood said that she saw Slater's head wound prior to his outburst -- contrary to his previous claims -- and that he remarked to another passenger that he'd had an unbelievable day.
