Scottish actor Rachel Jackson made headlines after a video of her January 2, 2025, arrest went viral. The incident reportedly occurred on August 15, 2023, at Nashville Airport, Tennessee. Rachel moved to the U.S. that same year, according to The Mirror.
Known for roles in Still Game and Outlander, she also played Donna in the 2018 film The Party's Just Beginning. Rachel has a comedy career, performing at festivals worldwide, including in Los Angeles and Beijing. A graduate of Rose Bruford drama school, she created the BBC Three show Bunny Boiler.
Notably, the Daily Mail first revealed Rachel Jackson's identity on January 2, 2025. A report by the outlet stated that the video of Jackson's alleged arrest was shared by the US Police based on a request included under their open policy on records and bodycam footage.
The viral video shows Jackson allegedly arguing with the officers, following which she was immediately taken to prison on a charge of disorderly conduct. However, Rachel has yet to share her response to the viral footage.
Rachel Jackson's alleged arrest at the Nashville Airport explained in detail
As mentioned, Rachel has been residing in the United States since 2023 and her arrest footage is now grabbing a lot of attention everywhere. According to Daily Mail, Jackson's legal problem emerged while she was traveling to London and had booked a flight with British Airways for the same.
Rachel Jackson then reportedly went towards the lounge of Delta Airlines passengers and was approached by a staff member telling her that she could not enter the place. However, Jackson did not listen and was eventually confronted by the police officers.
While the cops tried to speak to her, Rachel began shouting at them and told them to not touch her. One of the officers also told Jackson:
"You're going to stop and listen to me."
However, Rachel Jackson allegedly refused to cooperate and was eventually informed that she wouldn't be allowed to board her flight. The situation took a worse turn at this point where the cops decided to take her into custody and told her to put her hands behind her back.
"I will only go on the captain's orders, because I've seen Titanic. I am Titanic, I am white lotus… get your f*cking hands off me," she said.
Rachel did not stop fighting with the police and later started screaming for help. The cops then reportedly opted to drag her out of the airport since she was not willing to come with them.
Jackson also requested a female officer to help while she was being taken away. Before her arrest, the police had allegedly denied Rachel's request to give her some money so that she could get nicotine gum.
Rachel Jackson has a new show in her upcoming lineup, titled American Horror Story. It is scheduled to arrive in March this year and will focus on Rachel's life after coming to Tennessee to find love but "lost her mind."
