The internet buzzed for weeks with discussions surrounding a viral video of an agitated woman on a flight from Dallas to Orlando, quickly dubbed the "plane lady." This video showed the woman issuing a frantic warning about an unidentified presence onboard, sparking widespread speculation and memes. Some believed she might be under the influence, while others that her panic was genuine. Amidst swirling rumors about her potential disappearance, an alleged acquaintance claimed the woman was fine and on a cruise. According to this acquaintance, a miscommunication caused the panic when a fellow passenger threatened the plane's safety.
Journalist Bree A. Dail proactively investigated the incident, filing a "formal inquiry" through the Freedom of Information Act. The police report she received revealed the woman, identified as Tiffany Gomas, had an altercation, accusing a family of stealing her Air Pods. She later voiced concerns about the plane's safety. Following the incident, Gomas was denied re-boarding and received a criminal trespass notice.
Dail further discovered that Gomas, a 38-year-old, was a notable figure in Texas' business and marketing domain, having been featured in the Promotional Products Association International Magazine in 2017. Gomas transitioned from recruitment to marketing, ascending to the C-suite level. She also founded Uppercut Marketing, LLC. Despite the potential for leveraging the incident for brand promotion, Gomas deleted her online presence. The anticipation built up quickly as everyone awaited Gomas' version of events. When she finally broke her silence, we thought we would learn more about what happened that day, but that's not exactly what we got.
TMFINR Plane Lady Tiffany Gomas Breaks Silence with Heartfelt Apology
On Sunday, Gomas released a video on her brand new X (formerly known as Twitter) account, which gained more than 75,000 followers overnight. She spoke for two minutes about what this whole experience has been like for her so far. In the caption, she wrote, "I apologize and take accountability for my actions, they were uncalled for. My very worst moment was captured on video." Right off the bat, people are confused about what she is apologizing for.
“Distressed or not, I should’ve been in control of my emotions, and that was not the case,” she said. “My use of profanity was completely unnecessary, and I want to apologize to everyone on that plane, especially those that had children aboard.”
She imagines that it would have been difficult for parents to explain the incident to their kids amid the panic and foul language. She held back tears and added, “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, and I don’t know what I would do without the love and support of my friends and family.”
"I hope that I can use this experience and do a little bit of good in the world, and that is what I intend to do. I hope that you guys can accept my apology and I can begin to move on with my life," she concluded.
However, there was no explanation for what she saw that day and why she was so terrified. All the information released from that day points to the fact that she was scared of something on the aircraft, and she implored the flight attendants not to let the plane take off. Gomas didn't refer to any of that, though, leaving many people confused about why she refused to address what truly transpired that day.
Some of the most common responses are that Gomas looks completely different than the viral video we all became familiar with. People started sharing comparison photos to show how different she looks in each video. However, many say that this is simply the magic of makeup. That's how she ended up with a different skin tone, eyebrows, etc.
Others were perplexed at how she suddenly reappeared on all the social media sites and gained a huge following in a matter of hours. It seems odd that she would seemingly come out of nowhere after weeks of being underground. Yet another take is that Gomas' recent appearance online could be nothing more than a manufactured distraction to keep us from thinking critically about the destruction taking place in Maui.
Regardless of the exact timing of this video release and whether or not this is the real TMFINR plane lady, everybody can agree that she failed to answer any questions about what really happened that day. Yet again, we're left speculating about what scared Gomas so much on that plane and why she was so desperate to make sure the aircraft was safe before it took off. Did she see something? Was there someone that she interacted with who made a threat? Most people can agree that she seemed genuinely freaked out on that aircraft, and it wasn't a fake response. Surely, she saw something. But it seems like we'll never really know what that was.
