A couple of days, American track and field star Thomas took to TikTok, where she opened up about her concerns that she was regularly stalked by a group of men.
In her video, the three-time Olympic gold medalist claimed that there is a group of people who always show up at airports at the exact time of her flight.
And they ask for autographs, which she believes they are selling.
When opening up about it, the 28-year-old also underlined that she never shares her flight information to anyone and fears she may be hacked.
Thomas: They get hostile if I say, 'No'
"At this point, every time I travel, I'm afraid that these men, are going to show up and harass me," Thomas said.
"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.

"But they get really 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."
After hearing about the track and field star's story, Gauff revealed that something similar has happened to her.
And the 2023 US Open champion suspects that someone at the airport may be leaking the information.
"This happens to me too, I don't know how it happens, my theory is maybe someone at the airport tips them off," Gauff said on social media.

In the same video on TikTok, Thomas urged people to "respect privacy" of others and said that every advice regarding this matter would be welcomed.
