A July 2024 incident aboard a private jet used by billionaire Peter Thiel's family has escalated into a federal lawsuit pitting his husband, Matthew Danzeisen, against flight attendant Stefanie Bojar. Bojar maintains that Danzeisen forcefully moved cooler bags from a bathroom, striking her repeatedly and causing injuries to her ankle and knee. Danzeisen contests this version, stating he was clearing the bathroom for his children and that any contact between luggage and Bojar was accidental and minimal.

The legal battle has broadened beyond the initial incident to encompass competing accusations of wrongdoing. Danzeisen filed suit first, alleging Bojar attempted extortion through a demand letter and violated a confidentiality agreement. Bojar's counterclaim rejects these allegations and adds Thiel Capital as a defendant, alleging battery, assault, intentional emotional distress, and inadequate workplace supervision. Both sides characterise the dispute differently—Bojar's counsel calls it a "bullying tactic" by a wealthy defendant seeking to silence an injured employee, while Danzeisen's attorney dismisses the claims as baseless demands for payment.
