The mysterious woman who claimed that her seatmate was not real and demanded to be let off an American Airlines flight has been identified as a Texas marketing executive. How was she able to keep her identity a secret for so long?
Mysterious Woman Who Ranted Her Seatmate On American Airlines Was Not “Real” Is Identified
Bree Dail, who writes on Substack, filed a Freedom of Information Request with the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport Police asking for the incident report. It was provided to her and she unmasked the distressed passenger as 38-year-old Tiffany Gomas of Lakewood, Texas.
As Dail notes, the fact that she is a marketing executive is key. Within hours of the incident, her attorney sent out threats to online publications…and blogs…threatening litigation over stories about his client (laughable). All social media content was scrubbed. In a sense, she just disappeared…until now. I must commend Gomas for (almost) successfully erasing herself from the internet.
But this isn’t the European Union with the strictest of privacy laws nor is this doxxing:
You should learn what that term means.
She was charged with at least two crimes, and had a video go viral, doing this—to include making statements of threat that caused an entire plane to be disembarked and security swept.
Tiffany lost her reasonable expectation of privacy.

The police report reveals a few new facts about the case.
- The problem began when Gomas accused relatives she was traveling with of stealing her AirPods
- She “then started claiming the aircraft was not safe and did not want the aircraft to leave due to her believing it would not make it to its destination”
- Flight attendants determined the entire aircraft should be re-screened
- Gomas was denied boarding, but refused to leave the secure area of the airport
- Police were dispatched and escorted her outside the security checkpoint, issuing her a verbal trespass notice
- Meanwhile, every passenger on AA1009 from Dallas – Fort Worth (DFW) to Orlando (MCO) had to exit the aircraft so the TSA could screen the aircraft
- Gomas came back through the TSA checkpoint “multiple” times for reasons that are not clear (perhaps to try to catch another flight?)
- Police later found her on the terminal curb waiting for an Uber
- By this point, she had been identified to police by American Airlines, but refused to provide the police her ID nor sign the trespass complaint against her
- She was never formally arrested or taken into custody
CONCLUSION
Her video went totally viral…there was something so strange about it, yet like a slow-moving train wreck, people could not take their eyes off it.
Now we know who she is and a bit more about what happened, but it is really not clear what happens next…

I’m not remotely versed in the legal ramifications. However, this woman was not well, I think that much was obvious. I cannot tell if she simply consumed too much of whatever, or there was some underlying mental health issue. Personally I am not sure it adds any value to the public interest by revealing her identity at this point does it? What if she is mentally ill? Are we making it worse for her, while not gaining anything for the other impacted passengers?
Hi Lxf,
I completely agree with you. From all the articles, it really sounds like she´s not OK. And now the whole internet knows about it, and it´s something that can never be removed. I hope she get´s the required help to turn her life around.
100% agreed.
She was ok enough that the first thing she did was hire a lawyer
You don’t know a thing Kenneth wake up man do not be afraid but wake up sir!
The argument against this being doxxing seems to be based on the claim that this woman has been charged with two crimes, but is that even true?
It isn’t true. I saw in a Facebook group some people are coordinating to share some SERIOUS dirt on that girl who doxxed her.
I don’t think you should play games like that and I have reported it to the admins there. But I think a few lessons are about to be learned.
After all, we all know the reason that Bree girl doxxed the mentally unwell woman is … jealousy. Because she turned out to be a meme of admiration among certain internet groups. And that Bree girl hates the woman is prettier than her. That’s it.
That is the most idiotic comment I have ever read. I highly doubt she did because she was jealous.
Could not agree more.
I completely agree.
What’s the point of exposing her identity?
I feel like erring on the side of compassion might be less destructive. This social media thing is like a blood sport.
She acted like a rehearsed terrorist.
On the same note as the other comments above, as a society, we should help those who are in need, not dox them.
Had a colleague who consumes CBD gummies for her fear of flying, but one time, she drank a bit at the lounge and that caused a bad reaction somewhat similar to the video. Luckily, we managed to calm her down and we were able to board the flight.
Practically speaking, CBD is inert and isn’t going to cause a reaction with alcohol.
Your friend either drank too much or took something else to cause that.
100%
I guess this disproves one theory of mine… that Carrot Top engineered it all as a vehicle for getting his name back out there as a witness.
Not a good look for a supposed high-powered marketing executive.
Maybe her attorney can help craft a story to be pitched to her company along the lines of this being a marketing experiment relating to the necessary elements to create viral videos and advertisements. Maybe could save her from getting the axe?
So we *can’t* name the bully (black) FA who threatened a passenger with the no-fly list …
… but we *can* doxx and ruin the life of the (white) lady who had an episode of mental breakdown.
Oy vey.
One committed a crime, and the other didn’t. Just like having a child with a family member is a crime, but since you were born in Alabama your parents get a pass
“committed a crime” ?
Please post a link to her convictions in this matter. There are none.
How about a link to her arrest? Arrest warrant? Indictment? Anything else?
As best I can tell we have here is the word of Bree Dail who states in a tweet that Ms Gomas was charged with two crimes without providing any evidence to substantiate this claim.
The criminal trespass notice she left without signing often is a statement in which a party acknowledges that if they return to the airport without official business at the airport in the future that they may be arrested and charged with trespassing. This does not mean that she has been charged with trespassing.
I know you are a convicted pedophile, previously known as UA-NYC. You got doxxed, and changed your user.
Your projections are very transparent, and I’d advise you to pipe *way* down, pedo.
@Matthew – Are you really going to allow this?
I suppose you think that everyone’s favorite pervert BillyBob should be allowed to say whatever nasty things he likes without getting it from anyone else? Where is the fun in that?
The comments section already allows cyber bullies to drive others to suicide, so the scope of freedom of speech here is pretty wide. We just can’t dox Sheletha 😀
Remember folks, all accusations by republican traitors are actually confessions
Faux-female cunt, go F yourself
Or in your case BillyBob, having a child with an underage girl is a crime.
Its a shame vietri killed himself and not you
Chi Hsuan – I give you plenty of rope to hang yourself. Please try to be more civil. You can express whatever option you want: just don’t go after the other posters personally. And the same goes for all of them.
I really only target one guy (You know who) who totally deserves it.
“Tell us you’re racist without using any slurs”
Banned for LIFE.
+1. We didn’t need yet another argument for a national airline shared no-fly list but we got one anyway.
When she a 10 but…
I honestly hope she doesn’t get criminal charges but gets mental help instead. Otherwise my f’d up side is loving all the memes of her that’s coming out.
Criminal trespass is a misdemeanor
“IDED”? That’s a new one for me. Took me a few seconds to figure out what the article’s title was trying to say.
Why some people still think that ripped jeans are such a style thing is beyond me. Guessing that she likely paid three figures for them is even further beyond me, lol…
How empathetic everyone becomes when it’s a pretty white lady causing a disturbance that inconveniences hundreds of people….
Where are all the “name them and shame them” comments?
Nothing about “well, what do you expect from Texas”?
Not even a “must have been Spirit airlines”
Nope, just a long line of hypocrites who can’t see their bias.
so….. because people are not responding as racist or sexist, you are calling them hypocrites?
Personally, I am pleasantly surprised, in a positive way, that people are hoping for this person to seek and receive help.
You are correct that she caused a disturbance that inconvenienced many people. The negative impact on their lives was most likely just for that one day. For this person, it is on the internet, the negative impact it is for life.
Well, maybe it’s because despite being 13% of the population, …
She’s already literally named and shamed (and doxxed) in the article. Did you want more people to be also racist against her?
You sound like a bitter ugly fat person.
Omg you had to bring race into it and be victimized. So typical
Maybe she can try the asinine “aspirational defense” concocted by Dumps’ dipstick attorney.
She’s already literally named and shamed (and doxxed) in the article. Did you want more people to be also racist against her?
Sorry, commenting fail on my end. Meant for the other guy.
All I’ll say is what I said at the time. I would.
She:
– created a major disturbance in an elevated voice for all on the jet to hear and experience
– the airline took additional procedures beyond normal protocols to handle the situation
– her expectation of privacy went out the window during her rant and emotional display
– police were summoned to investigate and issued of a police report
Sorry, but she raised her profile from marketing executive to public disturbance.
She gets no free pass.
I fail to see how an article exposing her identity brings added value to the audience. This is just more thirsty journalism.
I want to interview her.
@Matthew – You’ve got nothing to say? Just tacitly condoning such behavior?
The threats of her lawyer were laughable and emboldened me to highlight her identity.
So naming her and her place of work would do what to resolve the issue? What was your purpose of this?
Who says I am trying to resolve the issue?
Loretta Jackson’s lawyer threatened you? My problem lies not with the twit the story concerns but the unspeakably vile accusation in the comments.
No, not Loretta. I’m talking about the lady on AA.
So you’d be good with someone making the same horrific unfounded accusations against you as well, right?
Ah, we found UA-NYC’s third burner account.
Matthew is a named person. There’s a difference, though I know you got paid for your work and that’s why losing the account hurts.
Nobody has doxxed you (neither as your UA-NYC account). Just because it’s known to some what happened to the person (and I use that term loosely) behind the account doesn’t mean it’s PII.
Unless, of course, you were being paid to sow discord. Like UA-NYC was. Then losing the account would suck.
The question is: why are you so hell-bent on getting yourself into more trouble?
Just to verify, if someone wrote “Blogger Matthew Klint does not refute pedophile accusations”, you’d be fine with that, right? And that would actually be much closer to the truth than what “Loretta” wrote. Sure, you weren’t the one actually wrongly accused but if it’s fine for one person to be wrongly accused then it’s fine for the same for you, correct? If you agree, no response necessary.
Matthew – please tell this Loretta c**t already that I’m not anyone else posting on this site. Get ahold of this comment section already man, come on.
Christian, I don’t know what you mean here.
You’re allowing someone who makes groundless accusations of the most vile type against someone who did nothing. Would you be fine if someone said equally groundless things about you or even a half truth like the fact that you permit such accusations so someone could warp the truth by saying that you don’t respond to pedophile accusations. Even though the accusations are not directed at you the implications would still be awful.
Ultimately, I guess it comes down to two things:
Do you allow hate speech no matter how vile or is there a cutoff and if so, where?
Will you use the same standard for yourself as for readers?
I must confess I’m interested in your response, regardless of whether you agree with me or not.
You literally have facts wrong from skimming the police report, missing a key word, and summarizing erroneously.
She was arguing with “a” family on the flight — not family (or relatives like you stated)
I am still very very interesting in hearing her point of view regarding this.
I’m fortunate that there’s nothing more I enjoy than “minding my own business! “ if you’ve read this far regrettably you’ve learnt nothing
The “whistleblower” woman who has all this time to spend on this very important case. It’s a lady who freaked out and had a mental breakdown on a plane and has been publicly embarassed over it for the rest of her life. Great job finding her name so you can ruin even more componants of her life. What a gift to society you are. I mean the skidmark of humanity you are. What a weird world we live in.
I was opposed to a lifetime ban until I read that she kept trying to go through security after being booted from the airport.
Is it just me or is she hot?
Thanks for highlighting this. I feel bad for her but feel sure she’ll survive.
Why do we even care?. Humanity is so obsessed with stories that literally do nothing to impact the reader. Just saying what a waste of time. The writer of this story went through all that effort to write a story for what purpose? Just to tell a story? It’s disheartening to see how humanity’s fascination with gossip continues to dominate headlines. News writers, have a responsibility to prioritize stories that offer meaningful insights and contribute positively to society. Focusing on sensationalism only perpetuates this cycle of distraction and detracts from the important issues that deserve our attention. Let’s strive to elevate the discourse by highlighting stories that truly matter.
Whoever she is or wherever she may be. This one’s for you: “Come fly to San Diego so I could wife you up. If you’re not allowed to board an aircraft, I’ll be more than willing to swoop you up and start a new life together. F$@! All these haters. If everyone in the world would simply stay in their lanes, this world would be a much better place rather than what we’re living in now. So to my future wifey, let’s go start a family and live happily ever after.
To publish her name is cowardly.
She obviously has mental health problems. Your excuse for publishing her name is because her lawyers tried to protect her? That’s a repulsive, illogical, and morally reprehensible excuse for your shameless small town writer self-promotion.
Find someone bigger to pick on little man.
Anyone who gets all the passengers de-planed should be known… mentally well or not. I’m a little crazy, but I don’t want to ruin everyon’s trip because I’m having an episode.
Does ANYONE posting here have ANY PROOF that what she was saying was not true? ANYONE? If you don’t then STFU!
That her seatmate was imaginary?
Has it occurred to anyone that maybe the person she was sitting next to was not Human?
It seems obvious that this woman is having some type of mental break down. I don’t think it’s appropriate to judge someone if it is out of their control. I certainly don’t think it’s appropriate to hound them. I hope she gets whatever help she needs to get her life back under control.
Where’s the crime. Irresponsible one sided reporting that doesn’t need reporting on. Giving away a woman’s identity who wants to remain anonymous and the guy was acting strange. She had every right to call it out!
How was the guy acting strange?
I WANT TO SEE HER SEATMATE. That would put all the speculations to rest.
