'I was a brat': Crazy plane lady Tiffany Gomas says she tries to 'block out' her meltdown when she flies now - and even recreates her iconic finger-wagging moment for first interview since rise to infamy

1 year ago 31

'Crazy plane lady' Tiffany Gomas has recreated her now-iconic in-flight meltdown as she prepared to fly again after what she has called the 'worst moment' of her entire life.

Gomas, 38, was flying to join her family on a vacation in July when she lost it on the flight due to an 'altercation' in what she has described as 'the worst moment' of her entire life.

She returned to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport to fly again this past week for the first time, just three months following her public meltdown. 

'I was a brat,' a chastened Gomas said. 'I feel horrible for everyone who was on that plane.'

Flying to New York, she entertained the cameras by recreating the famous finger wag from the initial flight.

However, she tried not to think about her viral outburst during the flight.

'I try to block it out completely,' she said, jokingly celebrating when the plane landed, incident free.

Gomas made it clear that she made a mistake by ranting at complete strangers back in July. 

'I should be able to control my emotions but I didn't in that moment,' Gomas told Inside Edition.

In an attempt to make fun of herself, Gomas said that she 'still doesn't know' where her infamous airpods are.

Gomas has been speaking out about the incident for the first time in the past week. 

The Dallas marketing executive previously told Inside Edition that when she said the other passenger was 'not real' - she meant it as a figure of speech, meaning 'he's not being real'.

Gomas revealed that she stayed at home for over four weeks after her crazed meltdown.

The internet sensation spoke out on the Pardon My Take podcast last week and explained the background to the incident , claiming she had become embroiled in a 'little bit of an altercation' with another passenger and that 'it spiraled out of control'

'I stayed at home for over four weeks because I was so ashamed and so embarrassed I didn't wanna go in public,' Gomas told Inside Edition.

When asked what sparked the sudden outburst - Gomas said 'I had an altercation and I felt very strongly that I needed to get off the plane'.

She explained that she believed other people on the flight were in danger 'due to the altercation' - but said she couldn't say anything more for 'legal reasons'.

Gomas has proved she has a good sense of humor since her episode. 'I got through this whole thing laughing at myself,' she said.

As she watched the viral video of her meltdown, she joked 'I can't hear that voice'.

The star of the famous video said 'I'm actually a big home body' as she showed Inside Edition her luxurious home in Dallas - complete with a stunning home office and movie theatre.

But despite being a self-proclaimed 'home-body' she said  'I love to travel - just not on American' - because American Airlines banned her after the incident.

'It was not my best moment … it was actually a horrible moment. Absolutely mortifying. How horribly mortifying,' she said

Explaining her unwillingness to talk about the issue previously she said: 'The reason I probably haven't come out yet is that it's so cringe.'

Gomas recently organized a Halloween costume contest - offering free first class flights for the best 'crazy plane lady' outfit.

Gomas uploaded a video on X (formerly known as Twitter) where she referenced a Halloween costume inspiration article by the New York Post which featured the 'not real plane woman'.

The marketing executive was clutching a $1,900 Goyard bag for her on-board luggage at the time of her airplane tirade 

It's unclear whether the marketing genius's costume contest was sponsored or in affiliation with a certain airline, but she tagged Delta, United and Southwest Airlines in her social media post.

She said: 'Hey guys, once again the New York Post came for me - so I'm coming for you... Let's have a little fun with it.

'I wanna see your best rendition of this fit and I will choose three of my favorite lookalikes and then we will all choose a winner.

'The winner will then receive two first class tickets either on Delta, United, or priority passes on Southwest. Happy Halloween!'

The Halloween 'costume' would be based on Gomas's stylish plane outfit that she wore at the time of her episode.

Gomas opted for tight ripped blue skinny jeans for the flight which she paired with a very tight black cropped tank top.
