- A woman who went viral for her outburst on an American Airlines plane has apologized in a video.
- Tiffany Gomas said she has "highly enjoyed so many of the memes."
An American Airlines passenger was dragged online after a TikTok video where she appeared to call another passenger "not real" went viral. Now she's saying her piece and clearing the air in a new apology video posted to YouTube, Twitter, and TikTok.
"It's me, Tiffany Gomas, probably better known as the 'Crazy Plane Lady,' which is completely warranted," Gomas, a marketing executive, said at the start of her video.
In her video, Gomas apologized for using profanities and for not controlling her emotions during the incident. She added that she has seen the memes of her outburst and did find some of them funny.
"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," Gomas said. "And I don't know what I would do without the love and support of my friends and family. They are loyal to a fault, and I don't know what I did to deserve them."
Gomas added that she hopes to move on with her life soon despite one of her worst moments having been caught on camera.
Gomas first went viral when she was filmed in July looking visibly distressed and screaming at her fellow passengers on AA Flight 1009 from Dallas to Orlando.
"I'm getting the fuck off, and there's a reason why I'm getting the fuck off," Gomas was seen yelling. "But I am telling you right now, that motherfucker back there is not real." It's unclear what, or who, Gomas was referring to, but she was seen pointing at the back of the plane while yelling.
In an article published on August 10, she told the Daily Mail that her life has been "blown up" by the attention.
"It's frightening. Things go viral, and everything changes," Gomas told the Daily Mail.
Gomas did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider sent outside regular business hours.
