A woman who went viral over an incident on a plane has claimed that Conor McGregor reached out to her afterwards.

American Tiffany Gomas went viral earlier this year after being thrown off a plane over an X-rated rant, in which she shouted "that motherf****er back there is not real".

The 38-year-old's meltdown was caught on camera by another passenger on board the flight from Dallas to Orlando during the summer.

Gomas apologised for the outburst soon afterwards, saying it was her worst moment.

She said: "I want to apologise to everyone on that plane, especially those who had children on board. I can't imagine going through that and trying to explain to your kid what in the world just happened.

"We all have our bad moments, some worse than others, and mine happened to be caught on camera for the whole world to see multiple times."

But when asked recently who the “weirdest and best celebrity" to contact her following the incident was, she told the Pardon My Take podcast: “I mean Conor McGregor reached out.

“He sent me a DM. He wasn’t trying to get in my pants or anything.”

She added: “He wanted to know what I saw."

“But regardless, Conor McGregor follows me, like what the hell… It’s kinda wild.”

McGregor has been spending time with his family in Dubai in recent weeks since attending Tyson Fury's boxing bout with Francis Ngannou in nearby Saudi Arabia.

He is expected to return to UFC action for the first time in almost three years in 2024.
