Lacey Montgomery-Henderson, an Instagram model, must have had the worst afternoon of her life today. She was detailed at the Thai airport for some missing pages in her passport, ending her journey to Bangkok, Thailand prematurely. She had traveled to the country for an eagerly awaited ten-day business venture.

In her statement, Lacey made it clear that her passport was messed up by a liquid spill on a past trip, but the Thai officials would hear none of it. As it seemed, nothing she said in her defense would quell their doubts about the β€œserious” discrepancies with the passport pages. They rejected the passport and detailed her for 24 hours at a local jail cell that was no stranger to cockroaches.

She vividly described how she was thrown in the rundown cell without any opportunity to appeal or get any form of aid on the issue. Her only weapon and item of solace was her phone. She used it to access her outreach platforms and thereby inform her publicist about her whereabouts and the misery she was undergoing on foreign soil.


While recounting her ordeal, the model described the jail scenery as dirty and stingy, and not any place that could sustain a human being.
The British authorities came to her rescue and managed to release her after a 24-hour stint. When she received the go ahead, she immediately went back home.
