She dispelled any rumors of a fly-by-night romance.
A South Carolina woman who blew up after receiving a “romantic” letter from a pilot has apologized to the sender — claiming she didn’t mean for him to gain unwanted attention.
The influencer, Steph Bohrer, had reportedly been hanging out at the Atlanta airport in Georgia earlier this month with her friend Maya when a pilot placed a brown napkin in front of her and “walked away.”
The chin-wipe was scrawled with the short but sweet message, “I have seen the whole world and you are the most beautiful human in it.”
The awestruck Bohrer, 23, uploaded a video of the heartfelt correspondence to TikTok, where it garnered 21.5 million views and a swarm of reactions ranging from words of encouragement from armchair wingwomen to warnings that he might already be attached.
This flurry of attention perplexed the Charleston resident, who felt like this was much ado about nothing.
She decided to address the incident on camera to clear up any misunderstandings.
“I wasn’t gonna make a follow-up video about this, but I just have been getting sent like news articles all day, like I’m literally on the national news,” Bohrer explained in a followup clip filmed with her friend and fly-witness Maya. “And I don’t know why, because I just posted this innocent little video.”
The traveler explained that the secret admirer wasn’t even the pilot on her flight and that she “didn’t even see this man’s face.”
In fact, her friend Maya was the one who noticed her secret admirer, whom she described in the clip as short with blond hair.
“I saw his face for maybe a split second,” she elaborated.
Bohrer, meanwhile, has since apologized to the flyboy for thrusting him into the spotlight, explaining, “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 also dismissed any notions of this “nice gesture” turning into some “Officer and a Gentleman”-esque romance.
“I don’t even know his name, signature, anything. Don’t have his phone number, and it’s okay,” declared the TikTokker, before warning comment section matchmakers, “you don’t have to set us up … I’m good.”
However, Bohrer said she plans to frame the napkin as a tribute to the “nice compliment” she was given from a “gentleman.”
