A marketing executive who was revealed as the woman who went viral for an American Airlines meltdown lives a life of luxury, DailyMail.com can reveal.

Tiffany Gomas, 38, was filmed screaming on a flight from Florida to Dallas in July, saying 'that mother***er back there is not real' and behaving erratically.

Gomas, who was clutching a $1,900 Goyard tote bag in the clip, heads up her own marketing firm, and is living in a $1.6million luxury four-bedroom property that boasts a swimming pool.

She bought the home in the affluent neighborhood in January 2022 for $572,530, before renovating the entire space. 

Her firm, UpperCut Marketing, claims to work with large clients such as Xbox, Microsoft and others, but has since locked down its public profiles.

The executive has also wiped her presence from the internet following the footage, telling police she was arguing with family members prior to her outburst.

Police reports show she had accused a relative of stealing her AirPods, before screeching that the plane was not safe and would not make it to its destination.

Documents, obtained by Bree A. Dail on Substack, say that she was unwilling to leave the plane and was removed by American staff following her outburst.

They state: 'The female 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.

'Due to the statements the flight attendants felt the aircraft needed to be rescreened. [The airline manager] explained that the passenger was denied boarding and they wanted her escorted to the public side.'

It is unclear how many family members were with Gomas at the time of her meltdown, and if they were on vacation. 

Footage shared on TikTok showed her in distress aboard the plane as she screamed about someone who 'wasn't real.'

Gomas yelled: '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,'

'I don't give two f****, but I am telling you right now - that m*****f***** back there is NOT real,' she adds, pointing towards the back of the plane.

'And you can sit on this plane and you can die with them or not. I'm not going to.'

Passengers were forced to deplane and be screened through security again as a precaution.

'TSA personnel arrived at the scene to conduct a full rescreening of the aircraft,' the police report states.

Gomas was eventually escorted to the non-secure area of the airport - but then attempted to get back in through TSA screening several times.

When officers with the Dallas-Fort Worth Department of Public Safety arrived, an 'extremely distraught' Gomas refused to speak, and tried to get back on the plane.

She then vanished before police tracked her down to a terminal curb where she was waiting for an Uber.

Gomas was issued a ticket for criminal trespass notice but refused to sign it, and was never arrested over the incident.

The marketing executive was deemed a 'rising star' in 2017, when she served as Vice President of Client Services at Elevate Brand Marketing.

She is a graduate of Oklahoma State University, and called her mother her 'inspiration' when interviewed for the award.
