TMFINR Plane Lady's Identity Reportedly Discovered By Journalist Who Obtained Incident Report From Police
Everyone has been wondering who the TMFINR woman is from the plane to no avail, but an investigative journalist did some legwork and uncovered who she is once and for all.
The viral "plane lady" narrative has become one of the most talked about subjects on the internet lately. It revolves around an unsettling video featuring an agitated woman on a Dallas to Orlando flight. The passenger's frantic warning about a seemingly unreal presence onboard sparked a social media wildfire of speculation and memes. Despite the original video's removal and the account's privacy settings, the discussions persist. With a range of theories from reptilian shape-shifters to extraterrestrials, the incident left viewers divided. Some speculated the woman was under the influence, while others felt her concerns were genuine. Subsequent videos and eyewitness accounts further complicated the narrative.
Throughout all the speculation, many eagerly await the woman's personal account and recent rumors even suggest she has gone missing. Yet, a video emerged that featured an update from a woman alleging to be a friend of a friend of the "plane lady." She claimed the woman was alive, sober, and that she had left for a cruise. The source further shared that a miscommunication might have sparked the incident and claimed the passenger next to her threatened to "take this whole plane down." While this revelation is a relief for some, skeptics deemed it a ploy for online traction. However, someone finally came forward with some information about the plane lady's identity.
Famous Plane Lady's Identity Reportedly Discovered by Journalist Who Obtained Official Incident Report
In a Substack post, Bree A. Dail writes about her experience investigating this now-famous incident. "As a journalist, I like a good mystery," she wrote. "T-shirts have been made. Attempts to put her exclamation to song have been recorded. Yet, for all her newfound fame, the woman seems to have disappeared—her social media footprint all but scrubbed. Until now."
On July 11, she issued a "formal inquiry" through the Freedom of Information Act to the Dallas Airport Police to uncover all the details of the TMFINR moment. She received the police reporting on July 17 and attached the incident report in the Substack post.
Officer Bryan Jackson wrote the report on July 2, stating that officers spoke to an American Airlines Supervisor named Arely Gonzalez, who said the plane lady was "arguing with a family accusing them of stealing her air pods." She then claimed that the aircraft wasn't safe and she didn't think it would make it to its destination.
"Due to the statements the flight attendants felt the aircraft needed to be rescued," the report read. "Gonzalez explained that the passenger was denied boarding and they wanted her escorted to the public side."
The female passenger (aka the plane lady) was identified by the airline as Tiffany Gomas. She appeared "extremely distraught" and was crying a lot. After the aircraft was deplaned, TSA personnel arrived on the scene and conducted a "full rescreening of the aircraft."
Gomas reportedly tried to get back to the "secure side of the terminal" after she was told to depart from the scene but was not allowed on the flight again. Later, she was found sitting on the curb and waiting for an Uber.
"Gonzalez accompanied officers and a written criminal trespass notice was created," the report read. "Due to Gonzalez being the manager of American Airlines at Terminal A, she was able to sign the notice. Gomas departed before signing."
Dail was able to confirm with authorities that Gomas is 38 years old and indeed the person known as the plane lady. She then embarked on an extensive background check on Gomas. Despite numerous phone calls and emails requesting an interview, Gomas remained silent. Dail thought this was perhaps a reflection of her attempt to shirk newfound fame or a legal strategy advised by her counsel due to pending charges.
According to public records, Tiffany Gomas is an Oklahoma State University graduate who emerged as a “rising star” in Texas' business and marketing sector. Named among Promotional Products Association International (PPAI) Magazine's 2017 "20 Most Watchable Young Leaders", Gomas navigated a successful career change from recruitment to marketing, reaching the echelons of the C-suite.
Interestingly, her prowess in marketing seems to have come in handy post-incident. In the face of pending charges for "Disturbance Onboard Aircraft" and "Criminal Trespassing," Gomas has seemingly used her skills to expunge her social media presence.
According to Dail, around the time Gomas earned accolades from PPAI as VP of Client Services at Elevate Brand Marketing—representing Fortune-5 companies—she also established her own company, Uppercut Marketing, LLC. With several significant accounts on record, her silent retreat from the public eye is all the more intriguing.
Dail says Gomas could have used this exposure to bolster her brand, but she has remained entirely silent. But it looks like we'll have to wait and see if Gomas ever comes forward to tell her side of the story.
This does seem like the most credible information we have heard about the incident so far, though. This is the first time we have seen any official information about what took place, and finally we got confirmation that this woman is real. There were many people who came forward to talk about the plane incident, claiming that they were on the plane that day, but pretty much all of the accounts turned out to be false. Dail's journalism has uncovered real police reporting, though, assuring all of us that this incident was in fact real—and not just a viral figment of our imagination.
