Olympian Gabby Thomas Says She’s Been Stalked & Harassed By A Group Of Men At Multiple Airports

Olympic medalist Gabby Thomas has shared her fear of being stalked by a group of men who she says have been harassing her at various airports.

In a TikTok post, the 28-year-old reached out to her followers for advice after recalling encounters with the same group of three to six adult men in multiple cities.

The men reportedly demand that Thomas, a five-time Olympic track and field medalist for Team USA, sign large stacks of photos. When she refuses, she said they become aggressive—shouting and blocking her path, which has made her feel unsafe.

“They have my flight information, and they show up at the front door of the concourse, or they show up at my gate, which means they have flight tickets and get past security,” Thomas explained in the video, describing how the situation has escalated.

Her post has drawn widespread attention, including support from tennis star Coco Gauff, who revealed she has faced similar harassment at airports. Gauff commented on Thomas’ video:

“This happens to me too, I don’t know how it happens. My theory is maybe someone at the airports tips them off.”

Thomas also shared a video of one of her interactions with the men at a Chicago airport. She later updated that her team followed up with a tip revealing one of the alleged culprits, who Thomas claimed has a criminal record for persistently contacting airlines to obtain information on celebrities’ travels.

Insisting that “no one deserves” such aggressive treatment, Thomas also stated that she intends to follow up with the police in the cities where the incidents occurred.
