Zendaya's longtime stylist Law Roach is facing backlash over his recent travel complaint.

The Legendary star, 47, called out Delta Air Lines in an X post on Monday, April 20, expressing his disappointment in his first-class seat on a flight from New York City to Los Angeles.

"Dear @Delta I'm Delta 360 and a Million Miler. This morning I paid for a Delta One seat from NYC to LA and when I got on the plane it was not a lay flat seat. I was very disappointed," Roach wrote.

The post, which received over 6,000 likes, was criticized by some users for being out of touch.

One user replied with a GIF of a scene in Keeping Up with the Kardashians in which Kourtney Kardashian mocks sister Kim for being distressed about losing a diamond earring in the ocean. "Kim, there's people that are dying," the popular meme reads.

"Oh you poor thing. Life must be really hard for you right now. If you pray hard maybe, just maybe you will get past this personal tragedy," another user wrote.

Some users came to Roach's defense, however.

"They're dragging him but if I paid 1,000+ to sit up straight for 6 hours, I would be mad too," one user wrote.

"People are saying the world has bigger problems, but he didn't tweet the Secretary of State, he tweeted Delta lol. And I guarantee you the people handling safety, or scheduling, or whatever, are not handling customer satisfaction. These are exactly the problems they have time for," another user reasoned.

Delta describes their Delta One seats as their "most premium travel experience," which includes spacious lie-flat seats, luxury amenities from Missoni, chef-curated meals, and sommelier-selected wines.

Delta One is available when flying internationally and on select long-haul domestic routes. Delta's hub airports include Atlanta (ATL), Minneapolis (MSP), Detroit (DTW), Salt Lake City (SLC), Boston (BOS), Los Angeles (LAX), New York (JFK and LGA), and Seattle (SEA). According to their website, seat configurations may vary depending on aircraft type and size.

Delta told PEOPLE that a last-minute aircraft change led to an aircraft that did not have Delta One seating, which is a possibility travelers agree to in the "contract of carriage" when buying a ticket on Delta and other major airlines.

“We apologize to Mr. Roach for his experience. A last‑minute aircraft change to ensure an on-time departure meant the flight operated without Delta One seating, and our Customer Care team has reached out and is working directly with him to address the situation," the airline said.

Though Roach is most known as Zendaya's stylist, he refers to himself as an "image architect" and has also styled Céline Dion, Ariana Grande, and more recently, Lauren Sánchez Bezos.

Earlier this year, he made headlines when he seemingly revealed that Zendaya and her fiancé Tom Holland had secretly gotten married.

"The wedding has already happened," Roach told Access Hollywood. "You missed it."

When the reporter followed up with "Is that true?" Roach replied, "It's very true!" with a laugh.

Reps for Zendaya and Holland never confirmed the marriage, but Zendaya did open up about her decision to keep her relationship private in an April 1 interview on The New York Times' Modern Love podcast, saying the couple are trying to “preserve things" for themselves in order to "maintain that joy" between the two of them and their loved ones.

"In a lot of ways, I'm also a very private person and I try my best to be able to have things for myself and for him as well," she explained.
