Plane passenger became meme after public freakout Screenshots via DFW PD\/TikTokFor the past few months, several stories have been shared about a viral \u201cnot real\u201d woman who rose to fame after a confusing freakout on a plane where she claimed another passenger wasn\u2019t real. But who exactly is she? Here\u2019s everything we know. Unless you\u2019ve been living under a rock, or have been completely off the grid internet-wise, you\u2019ve more than likely come across the now-infamous video of a woman storming off a plane and complaining about a \u201cnot real\u201d passenger. The short clip was posted by TikToker knuckelslawncare back in July, showing the woman \u2013 Tiffany Gomas \u2013 freaking out about another passenger. She urged fellow passengers to get off the plane, which was destined for Orlando from Dallas Forth Worth but ended up getting off on her own. But who exactly is the viral \u201cnot real\u201d woman and how is it she\u2019s still making the news months later? Here\u2019s everything you need to know about her and what she\u2019s been up to.

Back in July 2023, a Tweet featuring a video with an unusual situation picked up over 10.2 million views. In the footage, a woman is making her way toward the front of the plane while warning the other passengers of some kind of threat. The woman in the video claimed that she had to get off because somebody in the back of the plane \u201cis not real\u201d and that the rest of the passengers could \u201cdie with him\u201d or get off. One month after the tweet went viral, the woman was identified as Tiffany Gomas, a 38-year-old woman from Dallas, Texas. What caused the \u201cnot real\u201d plane outburst? Viewers were immediately curious to know exactly what it was that Gomas apparently saw, with some even speculating that she made the entire thing up as a stunt with the aim of going viral. However, it was reported that the outburst started with an argument about AirPods. The New York Post reported at the time that Gomas had an argument with her relatives, accusing them of stealing her AirPods. Police documents state that Gomas was unwilling to leave the flight and had to be removed by staff. \u201cThe 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,\u201d the complaint claims. \u201cDue 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.\u201d What happened to the \u201cnot real\u201d plane woman? After Gomas was escorted off the plane, bodycam footage showed her arguing with officials about the safety of the plane. \u201cI don\u2019t care if I ever fly with y\u2019all ever again, I want to know what happens to this flight right her,\u201d Gomas can be heard saying as she looks on from the boarding area. \u201cDo not let that flight leave, I\u2019m being dead serious,\u201d she said, urging staff to keep the plane grounded. Timestamp of 0:35 In another clip, Gomas was being escorted out of the terminal by police, asking if the escort was really necessary. That was when she told police and other passengers that the flight would \u201cblow up.\u201d She was ultimately led outside and continued arguing with police over her removal. Gomas has issued an emotional apology for her behavior on the plane and in the airport, calling it her \u201cvery worst moment.\u201d The plane ultimately landed safely in Orlando, albeit delayed because of her outburst on the plane. Viral \u201cnot real\u201d plane lady reveals what she actually saw on flight During an episode of the \u2018Pardon My Take\u2019 podcast in November 2023, Gomas opened up on what she supposedly saw during her viral meltdown. But, much to viewers\u2019 shock, she said she didn\u2019t actually see anything at all. \u201cYou know, the reason I probably haven\u2019t come out yet, because it\u2019s like, so cringe \u2014 I did not see anything,\u201d she admitted. \u201cI mean, I think y\u2019all knew that.\u201d Instead, Gomas claimed that her claims of a passenger being \u201cnot real\u201d was merely an \u201cexpression of speech\u201d at the tail end of an argument. \u201cI got in a bit of an altercation,\u201d she continued. \u201cIt spiraled out of control. It was not my best moment. I mean, it was actually a horrible moment. Absolutely mortifying.\u201d \u201cI was just in my feels. I just needed to get off that [flight]. I was highly distressed. Not a good look. It was not a good situation.\u201d Viral \u201cnot real\u201d woman offered to join OnlyFans and Playboy Since Gomas first revealed her identity to the world and started to talk more and answer questions about the plane incident back in July. She has appeared on multiple podcasts and TV shows to answer people\u2019s questions. And it appears that her regular public appearances have made an impact on people in multiple ways. Not only did she become a popular Halloween costume, but people have now also requested her to join OnlyFans. During an appearance on the Macrodosing Podcast in November, Gomas revealed she hasn\u2019t earned a cent from her newfound fame, but she that she\u2019d received requests to be on Playboy and OnlyFans. \u201cTrust me, there are times when you\u2019re like in your deep moments. You\u2019re like, \u2018damn, should I do that?\u2019 But it just really doesn\u2019t fit who I am as a person,\u201d she explained. Sadly, for those who felt like she would jump at the opportunity, Gomas has no interest in joining either the adult platform or magazine, even though she had no doubts that it would be successful. \u201cI\u2019m not knocking it whatsoever. It\u2019s just not really up my alley. I actually do have a good career,\u201d she added. \u201cTrust me, I can make a hell of a lot more money on OnlyFans though.\u201d According to Gomas, if she did join OnlyFans, she\u2019d make enough money to retire as early as next year, but despite the tempting offer, it doesn\u2019t seem like she\u2019s willing to make that leap anytime soon. Viral \u201cnot real\u201d plane woman responds to SNL skit mocking her On November 18, Saturday Night Live had a skit that parodied Gomas\u2019 viral moment as they rattled through some of the cliches people might see while flying this holiday season. In the SNL clip, Gomas isn\u2019t mentioned by name but it\u2019s very clearly her, with everything from the outfit and the use of her \u201cis not real\u201d line being completely on point. Obviously, with the parody going pretty viral itself, it didn\u2019t long for it to get onto her radar. \u201cWell, this is embarrassing,\u201d Gomas said. Though, she seemed to see the funny side of it given she used some laughing emojis in her response. Plenty of viewers agreed with Gomas\u2019 review of it, noting it was pretty clever. Some even said she\u2019d \u201cfinally made it\u2019 after being mocked on SNL. \u201cThis is awesome, she did nail it,\u201d said one. \u201cThis is an honor,\u201d another added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who is the viral \u201cnot real\u201d woman?
