Texas influencer detained in Dubai for months for 'shouting' at a rental car company flies home after paying $1,069 for her travel ban to be lifted

• A Texas influencer was stuck in Dubai for several months after being arrested for "shouting."
• She boarded a flight back to the US on Tuesday, the organization that helped secure her return said.

A Texas social media influencer, who was stuck in Dubai for months after being arrested for "shouting," boarded a flight back to the US on Tuesday, according to the international nonprofit that helped secure her return.

The CEO of Detained in Dubai, Radha Stirling, said in a press statement that Tierra Allen's travel ban had been lifted after she went to a police station and agreed to pay a deposit of 5,000 dirhams (approximately $1,069).

Allen, who has more than 180,000 followers on her @sasssy.trucker TikTok account, was prohibited from leaving the United Arab Emirates in May after a man filed a legal case against her for shouting.

The incident involved Allen riding in a rental car as a passenger in Dubai on April 28 when the driver, a friend, got into a minor collision, her mother, Tina Baxter, told Insider last month.

Allen was briefly handcuffed by local police before being released and told to go to the rental car company to collect her belongings, which were still in the vehicle, her mother said.

When she went to the offices of the company, however, they demanded a large sum of money in return, which led to an argument.

Allen was detained for "screaming in public," with her passport being confiscated, according to Detained in Dubai.

Although her release was secured on Tuesday, her departure wasn't without incident, the nonprofit said.

"She nearly didn't make it through airport immigration and thought she would be jailed but all worked out and Tierra is now relieved her nightmare has come to an end," Stirling said in a tweet.

While at the airport, Stirling said that Allen was pulled aside by immigration.

"I was so scared. I thought they were sending me to jail," the 29-year-old woman said in a WhatsApp message, according to Detained in Dubai.

The influencer was instead informed that she was banned from returning to the UAE. "I was never thinking twice about coming back," Allen said, according to Stirling.

An hour before takeoff, Allen received a voice note from Dubai's judicial branch saying that a travel ban would once again be issued against her if she didn't settle the rental car's agency civil claim by the following morning, Detained in Dubai said.

Insider reported last week that the car rental company was demanding $10,000.

Although Allen has now been released, the nonprofit said it is unclear if criminal charges against Allen, as well as a civil suit against her, will ultimately be dismissed.

It's also unclear if Allen will be issued with an Interpol Red Notice, which notifies law enforcement worldwide to locate and provisionally arrest a person.

"The UAE has a habit of convicting foreign nationals in absentia, and issuing civil judgments against them, followed by the issuance of an Interpol Red Notice," Stirling said in the press release, adding: "We will be vigilant in ensuring that she will not be subjected to further persecution by the UAE in the form of Interpol abuse."

Interpol and Dubai Courts did not immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment.
