Tiffany Gomas, once infamously known as the “crazy plane lady” following a viral meltdown on an American Airlines flight in 2023, is embarking on a new chapter as a content creator on the platform Passes.

The 40-year-old marketing executive and self-described “entrepreneurial trailblazer” gained widespread attention after her now-iconic outburst, where she exclaimed, “that motherf–ker is not real,” while attempting to deboard a flight mid-journey.

This incident thrust her into the national spotlight, turning her into an internet sensation overnight.

Her bio on Passes hints at a behind-the-scenes look at “my chaos: work, workouts, pups, sports, shoes, & fits,” signaling a shift from her controversial past toward a more relatable and safe-for-work persona.
