Olympic champion Gabby Thomas and Tennis star Coco Gauff have cried out on the harassment they face from men at American airports which is becoming scary.
Paris Olympics sprint queen Gabby Thomas has raised security fears of being stalked at airports, which has gotten support from fellow American sporting stars Coco Gauff and Ilona Maher.
Thomas expressed concerns in a video on her TikTok page, pleading for advice of being stalked by a group of men at airports in America.
She described how “three to six” middle-aged men appeared to be waiting for her in various US airports including Chicago and Miami, even sometimes showing up at her departure gate.
Thomas also detailed how the men regularly asked her to sign pictures of herself, and that she was most disturbed by the fact they appeared to know her flight information.
Don’t come for a person’s intelligence with a degree from Harvard University. Gabby Thomas didn’t hold back on responding to a social media troll.
“At this point, every time I travel, I’m afraid that these men are going to show up and harass me,” said the Olympic 200m champion.
“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,” continued Thomas.
World’s fastest woman alive Shericka Jackson marked her 2025 season’s debut with a surprising loss in the 60m. Here’s why her shocking defeat should be a wake-up call for Sha’Carri Richardson, Julien Alfred, and the women’s sprint division.
“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’.
The three-time Paris Olympics gold medallist further stated the situation is scary and starting to freak her out and doesn’t know who to go to for help.
“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?”
Following her urgent cry for help, US Open champion Gauff showed her solidarity, stating she had faced similar experiences.
“This happens to me too, I don’t know how it happens, my theory is maybe someone at the airport tips them off.”
“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,” concluded Thomas.
