Viral ‘not real’ person on flight incident finally explained as new details emerge from police
The 'not real' woman who went viral after losing it on a plane has finally been named.
Cast your mind back a few weeks ago and there was one video that was everywhere. This will jog your memory:
In the clip, a then unnamed woman can be seen storming down the aisle of a packed plane.

As she approaches the camera, she is clearly very upset, shouting about something she has seen.
The woman then turns around and points back towards her seat, shouting: "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."
She then then yells: "You can sit on this plane, and you can die with them or not. I’m not going to."
And then the video was cut, sending the entire world into a desperate search to unmask the woman.
Until now, though, that search has not proved to be very fruitful.
But police documents seen by the New York Post have finally revealed the name of the person involved.
According to the files, Tiffany Gomas, from Dallas, was booted off the flight following her outburst.
The argument erupted after Gomas had a disagreement with a relative she had been travelling with at the time.
Gomas had apparently accused her family member of stealing her AirPods, police said.
The dispute led to her being removed from the flight from Forth Worth to Orlando and her fellow passengers being delayed for several hours.
“The female then started claiming the aircraft was not safe and did not want the aircraft to leave due to her believing it would not make it to its destination,” the complaint, dated 2 July, reads.
“Due to the statements the flight attendants felt the aircraft needed to be rescreened.
"[The airline manager] explained that the passenger was denied boarding and they wanted her escorted to the public side."
Following the outburst, all passengers on the flight had to be removed so that they could go through security screening.
The documents go on: “TSA personnel arrived at the scene to conduct a full rescreening of the aircraft."
And when Dallas-Fort Worth Department of Public Safety police attempted to speak to Gomas, she refused.
“[The airline manager] gave Gomes a verbal criminal trespass notice, explaining she was denied boarding and needed to depart the secure area,” it read.
Following her removal, Gomas reportedly attempted to go back through TSA screening and back into the boarding area several times.
