Speaking from her $1.6million Dallas, Texas home, Tiffany Gomas finally broke her silence on her viral ‘meltdown’ on an American Airlines flight last month.
The 36-year-old marketing executive seen in some exclusive pictures for the first time since footage of the passenger accusing a ‘motherf***er’ at the back of the plane of being ‘not real,’ went viral, Gomas said: ‘My life has been blown up. It’s frightening. Things go viral and everything changes.’
The plane incident on July 2
The incident sparked safety concerns when Gomas, her Goyard bag under her arm, barreled to the front of the plane and told fellow passengers she was disembarking because the aircraft wasn’t safe.
The video showed a visibly shaken Gomas telling passengers: ‘I’m getting the f*** off and there’s a reason…. I’m telling you right now that motherf***er back there is not real and you can sit on this plane, and you can die with them or not. I’m not going to.’
Passengers on Flight 1009 from Dallas Fort Worth to Orlando that day were forced to deplane after a ‘distraught’ Gomas suggested the plane was not safe, forcing staff to rescreen the aircraft.
The effects of the viral incident on her
Speaking exclusively to DailyMail from her home in Dallas, a recalcitrant Gomas said: ‘No one knows anyone else’s story, and no one should judge. No one knows what it’s like.’
Dressed in a fitted white tank and black leggings, her long hair slicked back in a bun, the 38-year-old owner of Uppercut Marketing which promises its clients, ‘We make you look really really good,’ stood at the door of her $1.6million property and said she was consulting a lawyer.
She claimed: ‘They’re staking out my house. They’re staking out my neighbors. They’re going through my mail.’
And she stated: ‘So much of what’s out there is inaccurate,’ but when asked for specifics she declined to comment further.
Gomas’s meltdown was apparently sparked by an argument with a relative with whom she was traveling and whom she accused of stealing her airpods.
Police report on the case
‘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 police report states.
‘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.’
She marched off the plane but by the time TSA officers arrived to escort her back the public side of the airport the visibly upset woman was trying to get back on.

Passengers on the plane were eventually forced to deplane and be screened through security again as a precaution.
Dallas Fort Worth Department of Safety police officers tried to speak with a ‘distraught’ Gomas but she refused to cooperate.
She was eventually escorted back to the non-secure side of the airport but, despite her earlier hysteria, made repeated attempts to come back through TSA screening and into the boarding area.
Police later found Gomas sitting on the curb outside the airport waiting for an Uber.
They issued her with a warning for Criminal Trespass, but she was neither charged nor taken into custody.
The marketing executive, who was seen clutching a $1,900 Goyard tote bag in the clip, was deemed a ‘rising star’ in 2017, when she served as Vice President of Client Services at Elevate Brand Marketing.
She now heads up her own marketing firm, UpperCut Marketing, which boasts big name clients such as Xbox, Microsoft and others, but has since locked down its public profiles.
