Tiffany Gomas - the woman who went viral after claiming there was a "not real" passenger on board an American Airlines flight - has finally broken her silence as she asked people to "stop judging her".

Only if you've been living in a cave or have stayed off social media completely could you have come across the viral video of Tiffany complaining on the plane about the presence of a "not real" passenger.

She looked worried and urged other passengers to get off the plane, which was traveling from Dallas to Orlando.

In an interview with the Daily Mail, she said that "her life has been blown up" since the incident. "It's scary. Things go viral and everything changes,” she said.

"No one knows anyone else's story and no one should judge. No one knows what it's like," she added.

Although Tiffany said that "much of what is seen in the video is inaccurate," she declined to provide more details about what caused the situation.
