The woman who exited an American Airlines flight after a tirade about a passenger who she claimed was “not real” has spoken about the viral incident for the first time.
In the viral video, which circulated after the 2 July incident, the woman could be seen screaming at fellow passengers about her reasons for exiting the plane while standing in the aisle of the aircraft.
“I’m telling you, I’m getting the f*** off, and there’s a reason why I’m getting the f*** off,” she could be heard yelling as she walked up the plane aisle. “And everyone can either believe it or they can not believe it. I don’t give two f***s.
“But I am telling you right now, that motherf***er back there is not real.”
On Tuesday 7 August, the woman was identified as Tiffany Gomas, a 38-year-old marketing executive who lives in Dallas, Texas, by The New York Post, which reviewed police documents of the incident.
The media wrote many things about the incident and she decided to publicly speak about it, and she probably left many of her fans disappointed with her public statement!
She expressed remorse for her behavior. Gomas famously exited a flight in hysterics while shouting “that motherfucker back there is not real.” Introducing herself in an apology video as “the crazy plane lady,” a nickname she said “is completely warranted,” Gomas told TMZ that “Distressed or not I should’ve been in control of my emotions and that was not the case. My use of profanity was completely unnecessary and I want to apologize to everyone on that plane, especially those that had children aboard.” Fighting through tears, she added, “While it has been really comical for everyone and I have highly enjoyed so many of the memes, on the flip side it is very invasive and unkind and I don’t know what I would do without the love and support of my friends and family.” Gomas said she hopes to “use this experience and do a little bit of good in the world and that is what I intend to do. I hope that you guys can accept my apology and I can begin to move on with my life.”

She didn’t explain why she reacted like that.
