Olympic sprinter Gabby Thomas has provided a final update on the unsettling stalking incidents she has faced while traveling, revealing that two of the individuals allegedly involved have been identified.
Thanks to information shared via TikTok, Thomas was able to report names to law enforcement, pushing for accountability in what she calls a serious breach of privacy.
The Initial Stalking Allegations
Thomas first took to social media to express her fear of being stalked by a group of men who appeared to have unauthorized access to her flight information.
She described being confronted at various airports, including O’Hare International in Chicago and Miami International, by individuals aggressively demanding autographs on dozens of photos.
The track star expressed alarm over how these men managed to track her movements so precisely, raising concerns about a possible security breach within airline or airport systems:
“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. 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.”
Breakthrough in the Case
Following her initial posts, Thomas’ team received a tip identifying one of the alleged stalkers as a man with a criminal record and a history of calling airlines daily to obtain flight reservation details of celebrities and athletes.
Thomas expressed both relief and frustration, acknowledging that she was not alone but questioning how someone could repeatedly access such sensitive information:
“Who is selling him this information? Like who is he bribing at the airport to get our private information, and how much more of my information does he have?”
Final Update: Moving Toward Action
In her final update, Thomas confirmed that, with the help of TikTok users, she had successfully identified two individuals, allowing her to provide police with actionable information.
She reassured fans of her safety while stressing the urgent need for consequences against those who unlawfully trade and misuse private travel details:
“Nobody should feel unsafe traveling. Nobody should feel unsafe leaving their home. I definitely do want to see repercussions for what is going on.”
Thomas’s experience has reignited discussions about celebrity security, data privacy, and the potential risks of personal information being exploited for profit.
