    I was OOTL, so I just watched the source for the first time… Wow. It’s so much worse than I expected. Main Character Syndrome dialed up to 11. A hundred people have to stare at you and wait while you make a scene and finish your whining monologue before leaving.

    Sorry if you’ve seen it before and are over it, but this is the entitlement of a privileged white woman on full display. I think she was under the effects of something, or having a mental break or something, but even if she just “had an argument with someone” (as she claims), she then had to inconvenience everyone else with her public tantrum…

      I think she was genuinely having a bad trip. Yes, it’s unbecoming to act that way but I’d rather give her the benefit of the doubt and think some drugs she took disagreed with her than think she’s just an awful and very difficult person regularly. 🥲

        Isn’t assuming that she’s narcissistic because she’s white a racist assumption?
        (I’m neither white nor racist)

          I didn’t say that, that was the person I was replying to, but let me see: maybe. It’s the intersection of being both white (of European descent) and American (most likely the descendant of genocidal settlers and, if not, at least part of the in group by now) that makes her more likely to act this way because of a personal shortcoming, a flawed character, instead of something else like drugs (even if I want to believe otherwise because I’d rather ignore some things and remain sane and hopeful). Americans are largely confused and propagandised, white Americans are straight up insane and bloodthirsty (else the entirety of American history wouldn’t have taken place), at least on average and relative to the rest of the world. This country elected Trump, Bush, Nixon, etc and tacitly accepts or even encourages and fully supports the police harassing, assaulting, murdering and now kidnapping minorities, let’s be real for a second and accept white Americans are, on average and as part of the country, “bad people”.

          Let’s put it this way: I’ve never seen such chutzpah except for in European Americans, and Israelis, of course. I don’t think it has much to do with race by itself, or at all even, but more to do with the sociocultural background of these groups (being an imperialist amoral little devil doesn’t help your overall attitude, I guess). Correlation, not causation, basically.

    The worst part of this story is that as far as I know despite talking to the media multiple times she never explained what the fuck she was talking about.

      Ok, so there are people on Facebook who believe that many celebrities and politicians are being replaced with doubles, like robots or clones or some shit. I am not even kidding, it’s a mainstream enough opinion on there that you will see it expressed in comments without having to look for it.

      I wonder if she is one of those Facebook people.

        As someone that has done a helluva lot of a helluva variety of drugs, that was not drugs.

          As someone that has also done a helluva lot of a helluva variety of drugs, that was after effects of drugs + some pre-existing psychosis.

      “It was not my best moment … it was actually a horrible moment. Absolutely mortifying,” she said, stressing that she didn’t encounter an extraterrestrial. “I literally did not see anything … It was an expression of speech.”

      Gomas wouldn’t say what sparked the argument and only offered that she was “in my feels” and “highly distressed.” https://ca.news.yahoo.com/crazy-plane-lady-tiffany-gomas-121741304.html

        I don’t find that explanation satisfactory. This is just minimizing not explaining. I was well aware of this cover story when I made my comment.

          lol well how the fuck would i know since you didn’t say that. seems like a reasonable enough explanation for me. also, she was likely dealing with lawyers at the time that told her to keep her fucking mouth shut.

            Oh I don’t doubt that she’s probably doing it to avoid making her legal issues worse, but that doesn’t help explain anything.

            BTW the clue was “despite talking to the media multiple times…”

            Edit: In fact I think the reason she can’t expand further is because either she would implicate herself further or she would open herself up to slander charges.
