The passenger who generated dozens of memes for accusing another passenger of being "not real" on an American Airlines flight is said to live in a multimillion-dollar house in Lakewood, Dallas, per a New York Post report.
The passenger has been identified as Tiffany Gomas, a marketing executive, according to the report, citing police documents.
Insider previously reported that Gomas, who was shown arguing with another passenger in the now-deleted viral video posted on TikTok, was eventually removed from the flight. The flight was scheduled to fly from Orlando to Dallas-Fort Worth on July 2.
While Gomas' reputation has been tarnished by her outburst, she appears to be a successful marketing executive and business owner.
Gomas previously worked as the vice president of client services at Elevate Brand Marketing, a marketing firm based in Dallas, per the industry publication PPAI Media. Gomas was also named on the publication's "20 Most Watchable Young Leaders" in 2017 — an annual list that highlights up-and-coming talents in the promotional products industry.

Gomas graduated from Oklahoma State University, according to PPAI Media. In a now-deleted LinkedIn profile, Gomas is listed as the owner of Uppercut Marketing, LLC, an advertising firm. Her Instagram account has also been set to private.
Gomas is said to live in an upscale neighborhood in Dallas. She owns a $2 million house in Lakewood, Dallas, according to NYP's report, citing public records. In June, the average house in Lakewood sold for a median price of $1.3 million.
Gomas' outburst was actually about her AirPods, per NYP, citing police records. Gomas had accused the relatives she was traveling with on the American Airlines flight of stealing her AirPods, per the report.
While Gomas was handed a criminal trespass notice for disrupting the flight, she was not taken into police custody, according to NYP.
American Airlines and Gomas did not immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment sent outside regular office hours.
