‘COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY’

Viral ‘Crazy Plane Lady’ Apologizes in Emotional New Video

Fighting back tears, Gomas asked for forgiveness for her profane outburst and thanked friends for their support amid the onslaught of media coverage.

Tiffany Gomas, the 38-year-old woman whose American Airlines meltdown went mega-viral, has issued an emotional apology in which she expressed remorse for her behavior. Gomas famously exited a flight in hysterics while shouting “that motherfucker back there is not real.” Introducing herself in an apology video as “the crazy plane lady,” a nickname she said “is completely warranted,” Gomas told TMZ that “Distressed or not I should’ve been in control of my emotions and that was not the case. My use of profanity was completely unnecessary and I want to apologize to everyone on that plane, especially those that had children aboard.” Fighting through tears, she added, “While it has been really comical for everyone and I have highly enjoyed so many of the memes, on the flip side it is very invasive and unkind and I don’t know what I would do without the love and support of my friends and family.” Gomas said she hopes to “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.”
