A woman, who went viral for claiming that a person on the flight was not real, has been identified.
The frazzled passenger, who caused a whole flight to be delayed and rescreened, is a top executive in a marketing firm in Texas.
On July 2, during American Airlines Flight 1009 from Dallas-Fort Worth to Orlando, a blond woman wearing a tank and jeans shouted at those seated on the plane, telling them they needed to get off the flight or their lives would be in jeopardy.
A video, originally posted by user “texaskansasnnn” on TikTok, captured the incident.
“I’m telling you, I’m getting the f##k off and there’s a reason why,” the person said, before screeching, “And everyone can either believe it or they cannot believe it. I don’t give two f##ks, but I am telling you right now that mutherf##ker back there is not real.”
She concluded, “You can sit on this plane, and you can f##king die with him or not. I’m not going to.”
The clip has since been deleted, but not before it was shared and viewed by thousands on social media, NBC DFW reported.
According to the Daily Mail, the woman’s name is Tiffany Gomas, a Dallas native who founded the marketing firm Uppercut Marketing.
Police reports state Gomas, 38, initially complained on the flight about family members taking her AirPods. However, shortly after accusing her relatives about her Bluetooth earbuds, she ranted about the plane being unsafe.
As a result of her outburst, the plane was delayed for hours, according to the New York Post.
“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 explains.
“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.”
