UFC star Conor McGregor had a fairly valid query when he slid in Tiffany Gomas’ DMs on Instagram.
Gomas, a 38-year-old Texas native, who works in marketing, made headlines when she was kicked off a July 2 American Airlines flight following a meltdown — during which she accused one other passenger of stealing her AirPods and bizarrely stated “that motherf–ker is just not real” in now-viral video of the incident.
“I mean Conor McGregor reached out,” Gomas said during an appearance on “Pardon My Take” podcast Nov. 3, when host PFT Commenter asked who’s the “weirdest and best celebrity that’s hollered” at her.
“He sent me a DM,” she said. “He wasn’t attempting to get in my pants or anything.”
Dan “Big Cat” Katz, who hosts the podcast with PFT Commenter, said, “He was just attempting to say what’s up,” to which Gomas replied, “No. He desired to know what I saw.
“But regardless, Connor McGregor follows me, like what the hell… It’s kinda wild.”
Katz added, “I saw that he [McGregor] liked one among your tweets today, or Instagram.”
The viral video of Gomas’ outburst led to her being dubbed the “crazy plane lady” in the general public eye.
Gomas issued a video explanation, during which she took “full accountability for my actions” and said her behavior was “completely unacceptable.”
The interview comes lower than a month after the news that McGregor is not going to face criminal charges following allegations he “violently” sexually assaulted a girl in a rest room on the NBA Finals in Miami on June 9.
Prosecutors said there was “insufficient evidence” to prove that 35-year-old McGregor sexually assaulted his accuser, whose name was not made public, per legal documents obtained by TMZ last month.
On the time, McGregor’s attorney, Barbara Llanes of Gelber Schachter & Greenberg said that she, her client and his family were “pleased” with the end result and that it was over.
McGregor previously denied the allegations, which were made public someday after the Irishman revealed he and his fiancée Dee Devlin were expecting their fourth child together during an appearance on “Live With Kelly and Mark.”
