Comedian Guy Branum is sharing an air travel nightmare … he says the guy sitting next to him on a Delta flight gave him an elbow to the ribs because he felt Guy was too fat for the middle seat.<\/p>\n

Guy tells TMZ … he was on a Delta flight Sunday from New York to Los Angeles when a fellow passenger hit him before takeoff. He says he reported the alleged incident to a stewardess and the flight was delayed while Delta investigated.<\/p>\n

The comedian, who appeared often on “Chelsea Lately” and the “Juicy Scoop with Heather McDonald” podcast, posted video from the interaction and he’s in the middle seat, arguing with a man seated in the aisle. The man mentions being a member of Weight Watchers and they bicker about the armrest and personal space.<\/p>\n

Guy says the flight crew was “amazing” and “supportive,” but the Delta Red Coat who came over to investigate “treated me like an object.”<\/p>\n

Ultimately, Guy says his flying foe switched seats with another woman across the aisle.<\/p>\n
