NEW YORK — Model Tiffany Livingston was detained Thursday after passengers thought she was attempting to open a plane door in mid-flight.

According to the New York Post, the brunette beauty was traveling from Orlando, Fla. to Newark, N.J. on JetBlue Flight 522 when she allegedly suffered an anxiety attack.

It was first thought that Livingston was trying to escape through the plane door. However, federal investigators now tell TMZ they believe she was trying to stabilize herself during a panic attack brought on by turbulence.

Officials told TMZ that Livingston is no longer in custody and will not be charged over the incident.

Livingston, 21, is best known as the centerfold for the debut edition of VIP, the Singapore version of Playboy.
