Rudy Gobert's girlfriend Julia Bonilla vents her feelings after frustrated flight encounter over 8-month-old baby

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert's girlfriend, Julia Bonilla, vented her frustration after a flight encounter that involved her 8-month-old baby, as she posted an Instagram story about it on Thursday.

Sharing an image from her window seat, she wrote how she was on the receiving end of an unjust reaction:

"I'm currently on a plane with my almost 8-month-old baby, and I totally get that everyone wants a peaceful flight. But when the guy next to me starts huffing and giving me dirty looks, insisting on changing seat because he can't stand being behind a mom and her baby, it's pretty frustrating."

Continuing to explain the situation and how difficult it is to travel with a baby, Bonilla wrote:

"Traveling with a little one is not easy. It can be stressful for us parents, and we really don't want our babies to cry any more than you do. But babies are just that--babies. They have their own feelings and needs."

The young mother vented her frustration further, asking for more consideration from people:

"So, I kindly ask for a bit of understanding. If you see a mom or a family, on a flight, remember we're all just trying to make it work. Your momentary discomfort isn't the end of the world, and a little kindness can make a huge difference for everyone on board."

Julia Bonilla defends her boyfriend Rudy Gobert after 'overrated' claims

Julia Bonilla also defended her boyfriend Rudy Gobert on social media after he was voted the most "overrated" player in the NBA during The Athletic's anonymous player survey.

According to reports from TMZ, Julia took to Instagram to vent her displeasure over the vote, unhappy with the negative perception of her boyfriend:

"My partner is the most dedicated, focused, hard-working person I have ever met. He hasn't stolen anything from anyone and deserves all the respect for his determination and commitment to his career.

"It's hard for me to stay quiet in front of so much stupidity, disrespect and nonsense, I am so proud of the person he is -- fair, a great teammate, with a good heart and a strong mind."

The player survey also had votes for various other aspects, including the player you'd be least likely to fight with and the most underrated. Jordan Poole finished behind Rudy Gobert in the "most overrated" ranking, followed by Trae Young.
