In an apology video released in early August, Gomas called herself “the airplane freak,” which she called “her worst moment.”
Tiffany Gomas, the woman behind the viral ‘it’s not real’ plane video, is reigniting her career on social media saying her crisis doesn’t define her
“A moment does not define you; but that can define your aim’, Gomas, who accused a ‘motherf*****’ 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: ‘Mom ***** is not real’
In the new photos, Gomas looks almost unrecognizable as she gets laid back in jeans and a white tee in a stripped down photo shoot.
The woman smiles and laughs as she sits on a kitchen floor in the photos, accompanied by the hashtag ‘TMFINR’.
The hashtag references his words in the viral video: “That son of a bitch ain’t real.”
Gomas also teased fans and followers with future announcements by including the hashtags “#selflove”, “#empowerment”, “#motivation” and “#staytuned”.
Just days ago, DailyMail.com reported that Gomas allegedly assaulted a man at an airplane terminal after she got out of the plane.
The video shows a bald man in a blue button-up shirt and gray pants describing Gomas’ alleged attack in the terminal.
“I was just sitting here, and she just came over and (shoves) pushing me and her (left),” the man, who has not been identified, told police.
He added that he was “OK” after being pushed in the chest by Gomas, but the attack came out of nowhere, having never interacted with the woman before.
Gomas looked surprised and scoffed at the accusation in a separate video.
‘Wait, did I assault someone? I am 5ft 2in and 120 lbs. Could I hurt you? What is your size?’
The officer responds, “You could go to jail for that. You could get a ticket for that,” the officer adds.
The victim refused to press charges.

Gomas was flying to Florida over the July 4 weekend when she decided the plane was unsafe, loudly demanding that everyone on the flight evacuate.
In his apology video, first published by TMZ, she said: ‘Hi everyone, it’s me – Tiffany Gomas, better known as the airplane freak. Which is completely justified.
She continued, “As you know, I didn’t want to talk about the viral video, but I finally feel like it’s time.”
While the marketing manager’s life relaunch has only just begun, this isn’t the first time she’s spoken out since the incident.
In mid-August, DailyMail.com spoke to Gomas at her home in Dallas.
‘My life has exploded. 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.
“Distressed or not, I should have controlled my emotions, and I wasn’t.”
“My use of profanity was completely unnecessary and I want to apologize to everyone on that plane, especially those who had children on board.”
She said she couldn’t imagine “going through this and trying to explain to your child what just happened.”
Gomas’ meltdown was caught on camera last month when she frantically asked 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 towards the back of the plane while talking about a guy who ‘wasn’t real’
Gomas opened up about the viral incident as she addresses the issues and humor of the incident
Passengers on Flight 1009 from Dallas Fort Worth to Orlando that day were forced to disembark after a ‘distraught’ Gomas suggested the plane was unsafe, forcing staff to disembark the flight and recheck the plane and the passengers.
Gomas’ meltdown 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 unsafe and did not want the plane to leave as she believed it would not arrive at its destination,” the police report said.
“Due to the statements, the flight attendants felt that the aircraft needed to be checked again. (The airline manager) explained that the passenger was denied boarding and they wanted her escorted to the public side.
