Three-time Olympic gold medallist Gabby Thomas pleaded for recommendation on TikTok after expressing concern she was being stalked by a bunch of males at airports in America.
Thomas described how “three to six” middle-aged males seemed to be ready for her in varied US airports together with Chicago and Miami, even typically exhibiting up at her departure gate.
The 200m world and Olympic champion detailed how the lads recurrently appeared, asking her to signal footage of herself, and that she was most disturbed by the actual fact they appeared to know her flight info.
In her video on TikTok, Thomas mentioned she had modified her electronic mail passwords and doesn’t inform anybody her flight particulars.
“At this point, every time I travel, I’m afraid that these men, are going to show up and harass me,” mentioned Thomas.
“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.
“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.
“I do not even know what time I am flying out typically. I do not inform anybody my flight info. I’ve modified all my electronic mail passwords. I do not know in the event that they’re hacking me. However they get actually aggressive and hostile if I say ‘no’.
“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 truthfully, I do not know who to go to about this. Do I am going to the police? Do I am going to airport safety?”
Fellow American sporting star Ilona Maher, who performs for the Bristol Bears in Premiership Girls’s Rugby, confirmed her help in response on the social media platform, whereas Grand Slam tennis champion Coco Gauff admitted she too had experiences of comparable situations.
“This happens to me too, I don’t know how it happens, my theory is maybe someone at the airport tips them off,” Gauff mentioned.
Thomas concluded her attraction for recommendation by stating: “I don’t get why people can’t respect privacy? I really don’t get it. I don’t like feeling unsafe when travelling. I don’t know what to do, any advice is welcome.”
