American Airlines kicked a Michigan Jewish family off a plane, following what the airline said were passenger complaints about the body odor of one of the family members. 
The family, on the other hand, maintains that they were kicked off the flight because of their religion. 
American Airlines said in a statement that "the Adler family were asked to deplane last night after several passengers, along with our crew members, complained about their body odor."
"The family were provided hotel accommodations and meals, and re-booked on a [different] flight" the statement continued.
Yossi Adler, in an interview with NBC News, insisted that he didn't smell bad and that he and his wife, Jennie, shower every morning.
Adler filmed a confrontation between himself and one of the crew, in which he accuses the crew of deplaning him, his wife and their 19-month-old daughter, for religious reasons.
