The woman behind the viral “It’s Not Real” plane video has given her social media career a fresh start by saying her breakdown doesn’t define her.
In photos newly posted to Instagram, Tiffany Gomas, 38, told her followers that she’s taking advantage of her fame and letting it guide her future.
“A single moment doesn’t define you; But it can define your purpose,” said Gomas, who accused a “mother pig” in the back of the plane of being “not real.”
The post, shared on Sunday morning, has already garnered more than 13,000 likes from her adoring fans and her followers are standing by her after the plane crash.
After the video went viral, the Texas native gained more than 100,000 followers on social media and launched an attempt to reclaim her image.
In an apology video released in early August, Gomas dubbed herself “the crazy airplane lady,” which she described as “her very worst moment.”
Tiffany Gomas, the woman behind the viral “It’s Not Real” plane video, is rebooting her social media career by saying her breakdown doesn’t define her
“A single moment doesn’t define you; “But it can define your purpose,” said Gomas, who accused a “mother pig” in the back of the plane of being “not real.”
Gomas went viral after the July 2 incident on an American airline plane, where she was seen saying, “That crap isn’t real.”
In the new photos, Gomas looks almost unrecognizable as she looks casual in jeans and a white t-shirt for a pared down photoshoot.
The woman smiles and laughs while sitting on a kitchen floor in the pictures, accompanied by the hashtag “TMFINR”.
The hashtag refers to her words in the viral video: “That bastard isn’t real.”
Gomas also teased fans and followers about future announcements by including the hashtags “#selflove”, “#empowerment”, “#motivation” and “#staytuned”.
Just a few days ago, published the news that Gomas allegedly attacked a man in an airplane terminal after she got off the plane.
The video shows a bald man in a blue button-down shirt and gray trousers describing Gomas’ alleged attack in the terminal.
“I just sat here and she just came and [makes shoving motion] urges me and her [left]’ the man, who could not be identified, told police.
He added that he was fine after being punched in the chest by Gomas, but the attack came out of nowhere as he had never interacted with the woman before.
In a separate video, Gomas expressed surprise and mocked the accusation.
“Wait, did I attack someone?” I’m 5’7″ and 110 pounds. could i hurt you How tall are you?’
The officer replies, “You could go to jail for that.” “You could get a ticket for that,” the officer adds.
The victim declined to file a complaint.

Gomas was flying to Florida over the weekend of July 4 when she found the plane was unsafe and vociferously called for all passengers to be evacuated.
In her apology video, first published by TMZ, she said, “Hi everyone, it’s me – Tiffany Gomas, better known as the Crazy Airplane Lady.” Which is totally justified.’
She continued, “As you know, I wasn’t ready to speak on the viral video, but I finally feel like it’s time.”
While the marketing director’s life revitalization has only just begun, it isn’t the first time she has spoken out since the incident.
In mid-August, spoke to Gomas at her Dallas home.
“My life has been blown up.” “It’s scary,” she said. “Things go viral and everything changes.”
Gomas continued, “First and foremost, I want to take full responsibility for my actions.”
“They were totally unacceptable.”
“Sorry or not, I should have been in control of my emotions, and I wasn’t.”
“My use of profanity was completely unnecessary and I would like to apologize to everyone who was on that plane, especially those who had children on board.”
She said she couldn’t imagine “going through that and trying to explain to your kid what on earth just happened.”
Gomas’ collapse was caught on video last month as she frantically demanded to get off a plane, claiming someone in the back of the plane was “not real”.
Passengers turned their heads as she appeared to point to the rear of the plane while discussing a man who was “not real”.
Gomas has spoken out about the viral incident, addressing the issues and humor of the incident
Passengers on Flight 1009 from Dallas Fort Worth to Orlando that day were forced to exit the plane after a “distraught” Gomas suggested the plane was unsafe, forcing staff to get off the plane and re-board the plane and passengers check.
Gomas’ collapse was apparently sparked by an argument with a relative who she accused of stealing her Airpods.
“The woman then began to claim that the plane was not safe and did not want the plane to leave because she believed it would not reach its destination,” the police report said.
“Based on the statements, the flight attendants felt that the aircraft needed to be checked again. [The airline manager] stated that the passenger was denied boarding and wanted to be escorted to the public side.”
