The woman from the viral ‘he’s not real’ video has spoken out about the incident online, branding herself ‘the crazy plane lady’ before apologising for her actions.
Tiffany Gomas was removed from an American Airlines flight from Dallas to Florida on 2 July, after she accused another passenger of stealing her AirPods before claiming 'that mother f**ker is not real'.
In the viral footage, Tiffany can be seen standing up and loudly proclaiming: "I'm getting the f*** off and there's a reason… I'm telling you right now, that mother f***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.”

The clip has since racked up millions of views and has prompted several wild conspiracy theories as well as more memes than you can shake a stick at.
Now, the woman at the centre of the whole thing has shared a statement via TikTok where she apologises for her actions.
“Hi everyone, it’s me, Tiffany Gomas, probably better known as the ‘crazy plane lady', which is completely warranted,” she begins.

“My use of profanity was completely unnecessary, and I want to apologise to everyone on that plane, especially those that had children aboard.
“We all have our bad moments, um, some are far worse than others, and mine happened to be caught on camera for the whole world to see multiple times."
Tiffany went on to say that she had even enjoyed some of the memes but hit back at the ‘invasive’ interest in her life.

"While it has been pretty comical for everyone and I have highly enjoyed so many of the memes, on the flip side, it was very invasive and unkind and I don’t know what I would do without the love and support of my friends and family," she says in the video.
She continues: "They are loyal to a fault and I don’t know what I did to deserve them. 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.”
Tiffany also hinted at bigger things to come, telling her followers to 'stay tuned'.
