Five-time Olympic medalist Gabby Thomas posted a TikTok Tuesday revealing that she has been repeatedly stalked by a group of men at airports in different cities. “It doesn’t matter what city,” the track and field athlete shared. “They’ve come when I was traveling to and from Chicago, they’ve come when I’m traveling to and from Miami. And they have my flight information.” She added that the men will ask her to sign a stack of pictures and get “aggressive and hostile” when she refuses, prompting her to believe that they’re resellers. There typically is around three to six men she added, who sometimes will even approach her at her flight gate or concourse. “What scares me is that they have my flight information even when I don’t even know what time I’m flying out sometimes—I don’t tell anyone my flight information,” the gold medalist continued. Thomas was seeking out advice from her followers who recommended taking pictures of the men and contacting the FBI or police. Tennis star Coco Gauff also commented on Thomas’ TikTok and wrote, “This happens to me too, I don’t know how it happens. My theory is maybe someone at the airport tips them off.”
