The video showed a napkin kept on a table. The note written on the tissue read, “I have seen the whole world and you are the most beautiful woman in it.”

Why did she apologise?

Her video attracted a wide range of comments, including remarks from people expressing their cynical views or warning the influencer. Following this, she explained in a TikTok video that the pilot who gave her the note was not operating her flight. She added that she barely saw his face.

The influencer claimed that her friend saw the pilot and told her he was short and blond. "It was not the pilot of my flight, by the way. I didn't even see this man's face,” she explained.

She added that she shared the video because she thought it was cute. She felt happy getting a compliment from a stranger. However, she never imagined that her video would go viral and accumulate numerous comments from people. She apologised to the pilot, adding that he probably didn’t want the note on social media.

“I don't think he wanted this to be on the news, and I'm really sorry he just was giving me a compliment,” she shared. “I don't even know his name, signature, anything. I don't know anything. Don't have his phone number, and it's okay,” she added.

Addressing the allegations that she herself wrote the note, the influencer said in the video, “I did not write this. I promise, just a nice gentleman, that's all I have to say.”
