Three-time Olympic gold medalist Gabby Thomas has taken to social media to express her growing fear of being stalked by a group of men at US airports. The 200m world champion detailed her unsettling encounters with these men, who seem to know her flight information and repeatedly approach her for autographs. Thomas has changed her email passwords and avoids sharing her travel plans, yet she remains fearful and unsure of how to address this situation.
Three-time Olympic gold medalist Gabby Thomas took to TikTok to express her growing concern about being stalked by a group of men at various US airports. In her video, Thomas described encountering 'three to six middle-aged men' who appeared to be waiting for her at airports like Chicago and Miami, sometimes even showing up at her departure gate. The 200m world and Olympic champion detailed how these men repeatedly appeared, asking her to sign pictures of herself.
What disturbed Thomas the most was that they seemed to possess her flight information.Thomas shared in her TikTok video that she had taken steps to protect herself, changing her email passwords and refraining from sharing her flight details with anyone. She confessed, 'At this point, every time I travel, I'm afraid that these men, are going to show up and harass me.' She explained, 'They have my flight information. And they show up at the front door of the airport at the correct concourse or they show up at my gate, which means they have flight tickets and they get past security and all that.' Thomas added, 'They show up and they ask me to sign a bunch of these photos and pictures of me, like 40 of them. I don't know what they're doing with them, probably selling them, I don't care. What scares me is that they have my flight information.'Concerned about potential hacking, she mentioned, 'I don't even know what time I'm flying out sometimes. I don't tell anyone my flight information. I've changed all my email passwords. I don't know if they're hacking me. But they get really aggressive and hostile if I say 'no'.' Thomas further revealed, 'When I'm by myself, it's really scary. They got really hostile with my boyfriend yesterday. It's not even airline-specific but I don't know how they're getting my flight information. And it's really starting to freak me out. 'And honestly, I don't know who to go to about this. Do I go to the police? Do I go to airport security?' American sporting stars like Ilona Maher and Coco Gauff offered their support and shared similar experiences of being followed by individuals with access to their travel information. Gauff stated, 'This happens to me too, I don't know how it happens, my theory is maybe someone at the airport tips them off.' Thomas concluded her appeal for advice by expressing her frustration, 'I don't get why people can't respect privacy? I really don't get it. I don't like feeling unsafe when traveling. I don't know what to do, any advice is welcome.' USA Track & Field has yet to comment on the situation
