'Crazy plane lady' Tiffany Gomas makes career switch two years after viral rant
Two years after she went viral following a meltdown onboard an American Airlines flight, self-proclaimed 'crazy plane lady' Tiffany Gomas is launching a Passes page in which subscribers can pay to see her pose in a bikini. This week Gomas announced on social media that she will be launching a paid site that will give supporters a behind-the-scenes look at her 'chaos: work, workouts, pups, sports, shoes, & fits.' 'I told y'all that mf wasn't real… but this is…' she wrote on X. 'Relaunching now on Passes. Come chat with me here and I'll answer all your questions.' On Instagram, she told her 159,000 followers her new PG-13 account will offer an 'unfiltered, unexpected and unapologetic' look into her life. Monthly packages range from $10 to $70 and includes access to her photo uploads, discounts on pay-per-view material, messaging, signed Polaroid pics (for $500), Instagram follow backs (another $500) and other goodies. Some of her followers were hoping Gomas was going to announce she was joining the racier Only Fans, but the Dallas-based marketing exec opted for Passes, which doesn't permit explicit content. Gomas made headlines worldwide in the summer of 2023 after she charged to the front of a plane on an Orlando-bound flight before takeoff declaring one of her fellow passengers was 'not real.' 'I'm telling you, I'm getting the f*** off and there's a reason why I'm getting the f*** off and everyone can either believe it or they can not believe it,' Gomas was seen screaming as she marched down the aisle. Pointing towards the back of the plane, she declared: 'I don't give two f****, but I am telling you right now – that motherf***** back there is not real. You can sit on this plane, and you can die with them or not. I'm not going to.' After the incident, Gomas quashed online chatter from conspiracy theorists that she had seen something otherworldly. 'The reason I probably haven't come out yet is that it's so cringe,' she said during an appearance on the Pardon My Take podcast. Gomas said her outburst happened after she got into 'a little bit of an altercation' with a fellow passenger. 'It was not my best moment … it was actually a horrible moment. Absolutely mortifying,' she said, stressing that she didn't encounter an extraterrestrial. 'I literally did not see anything … It was an expression of speech.' Gomas wouldn't say what sparked the argument and only offered that she was 'in my feels' and 'highly distressed.' She was allowed to exit the plane, but her tirade continued after she was back inside the airport as she swore at cops. Police bodycam footage obtained by the New York Post showed Gomas being escorted from the terminal. 'Do not let that flight leave … That flight is not going to make it to Orlando. It's not going to,' she pleaded. In the years since, Gomas has stayed in the spotlight be continuing to joke about the event. 'Sooo, who's ready for the alien invasion that's supposed to go down today?' she tweeted last December. She then followed up her post by changing into the same outfit she wore on the plane. 'Officially ready for the invasion. Bring it on mf'ers,' she wrote. 'Yo, I'm ready,' one follower replied. 'I got popcorn. I got signs. I got it all ready to go.' mdaniell@ 'Crazy plane lady' Tiffany Gomas reveals what really caused viral 'not real' meltdown 'Crazy plane lady' Tiffany Gomas takes to air again after in-flight meltdown — but won't say what she saw
