A photo of Tiffany Gomas, the woman who appeared in the "not real" video rant aboard an airplane, has gone viral once again a year after the incident that brought her national media attention.
Gomas initially went viral last July after her outburst on an American Airlines flight. In the footage, Gomas was seen striding down an aircraft's central aisle shouting on a flight going from Fort Worth, Texas, to Orlando, Florida. She was heard saying "there's a reason why I'm getting the f*** off and everyone can either believe it or not believe it, I don't give two f****, but I am telling you right now that m*********** back there is not real."
While she apologized for her behavior afterward, she never explained what caused her outburst and has become known as the person in the "not real" meme. She has since become known as a right-wing influencer.
Now Gomas has taken to X, formerly Twitter, to commemorate the day that helped her gain notoriety.
Newsweek contacted Gomas via an online request form for comment on Thursday.
"One year anni of the most embarrassing day of my life. Cheers to many more," she posted on X alongside a laugh-crying emoji and clinking glasses emoji. At the time of writing, it had been viewed 4.2 million times.
In a follow-up post, she shared a photo of herself disembarking a plane with the caption: "Thought it would be fun to catch a flight today, considering [grinning face with sweat emoji]."
This post has been viewed more than 900,000 times.
People took to the comments to share their support for Gomas and poke fun at the original viral video.
"It's your day! Looking fabulous! You made it all the way to your destination this time, too!" one person wrote, to which Gomas responded: "I've already been to Marbella and Ibiza too! So far, so good!"
"Seriously tho, what did you see on that flight a year ago? We wont tell anyone, promise," said another.
"See anything out of the ordinary?" someone else asked.
Another person added: "Face your fears girl."
Gomas was quick to capitalize on her 15 seconds of fame and on April 17, she garnered attention on social media for different reasons. She took to X to share a photo of herself holding a can of Conservative Dad's Ultra Right Beer, which describes itself as "100% woke-free American beer."
Gomas also wore a branded bikini, emblazoned with the logo of Ultra Right, which saw a surge in popularity among a faction of conservatives following last year's Bud Light boycott calls over its promotional partnership with transgender TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney.
Captioning the image, Gomas wrote: "Wonder how many people I'm gonna p*** off with this post..."
At the time of writing, the post had garnered 8.6 million views.
The post drew a strong reaction from X users, with some voicing their objection to the political theme of the photo, while others praised Gomas for her stance.
When contacted for comment at the time, Ultra Right Beer CEO M. Seth Weathers told Newsweek that Gomas "is not paid by us. Beautiful women are just naturally attracted to our brand."
