Woman behind 'not real' plane incident finally breaks her silence on the drama

Nearly a month after she first went viral, Tiffany Gomas has finally broken her silence.

The 38-year-old became an internet sensation after her ‘not real’ rant on an American Airlines flight was filmed, with the video taking off online.

Now, the marketing executive has responded to the incident, with Gomas revealing her life has ‘blown up’ after getting onboard the infamous flight.

If you're not familiar with the now-viral video, you might want to take a small detour and watch the clip before coming back.

Filmed on Flight 1009 on July 2, the short clip shows Gomas freaking out after boarding a plane which was scheduled to fly from Fort Worth to Orlando. Have a look:

Rather than staying seated for take-off, Gomas was seen shouting at staff during the foul-mouthed rant.

Turning back towards her seat, she screams: "I’m telling you, I’m getting the f**k off, and there’s a reason why I’m getting the f**k off and everyone can either believe it or they can not believe it.

"I don’t give two f**ks, but I am telling you right now — that motherf**ker back there is NOT real."

Gomas then yells: "You can sit on this plane, and you can die with them or not. I’m not going to."

Weeks after the video went viral, the 38-year-old has finally spoken about her fifteen minutes of fame, saying that her life has 'blown up' and been 'frightening'.

In an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail, Gomas explained how her life had been ‘frightening’ since the incident, explaining: “My life has been blown up. It's frightening. Things go viral and everything changes.”

“No one knows anyone else's story, and no one should judge. No one knows what it's like,” added the marketing executive.

Having kept a low profile since the viral TikTok video, Gomas revealed that she’d been ‘stalked’ since the incident.

“They're staking out my house. They're staking out my neighbors. They're going through my mail,” she told the outlet.

Sadly, the Dallas woman refused to go into detail about the viral video and what triggered her outburst – which was filmed by another passenger on the plane.

The 38-year-old added: “So much of what's out there is inaccurate.”

Before you depart though, it's worth noting that police investigating the incident have claimed that it happened after a dispute over AirPods.

Well, we can't say we blame Gomas - we hate travelling without music too.
