Saraya Issues Warning After Stalker Secretly Filmed Her for 45 Minutes at Airport

Saraya is speaking out after a frightening encounter with a stalker who secretly followed and filmed her for nearly an hour at an airport.

The former AEW star revealed the disturbing situation on her Rulebreakers podcast, explaining that a man actually bought a plane ticket just to get past security and record her from a distance without ever speaking to her. She said the man never approached her, never asked for a photo, and never said a word—he just filmed her nonstop, leaving her feeling uncomfortable, unsafe, and watched.

“It’s not okay to follow me like wherever I go. Like, it’s not okay. There should be a line. Yes, you can be a fan, but you should make us feel safe in the process. There was a video recently that was on TikTok of someone following me from my gate… They bought a ticket to get past security to film me coming off the plane from a distance. And that makes me feel so uncomfortable too. So please don’t do that.”

Saraya stressed that she’s happy to take photos and sign autographs—even at airports—but fans need to actually walk up and ask, not hide behind posts or recording devices.

“I’m cool. I will take a picture with anybody at any time… But do not do it where you’re making me feel unsafe. That makes me feel unsafe.”

The situation got even more personal when her young niece found the video online and became worried something bad had happened. Saraya said the moment broke her heart.

“My niece… she was like, ‘Auntie Raya, there’s this video of this guy that’s following you around?’… She was scared for me, and she’s so young. And I was just like, it’s okay. I’m safe.”

Saraya made it clear that this kind of behavior crosses every boundary and needs to stop. She issued a direct PSA to anyone who thinks stalking celebrities from afar is acceptable.

“I just want to put that little PSA out there. Do not follow me from a little bit far away filming me for a good 40–45 minutes. Just come up to me. I’m chill. I promise.”

This wasn’t the first time Saraya has dealt with fans crossing boundaries. Earlier this year, she was forced to miss a meet and greet due to a medical emergency involving her dog. After pulling out of the event, she was slammed online by a fan who accused her of charging too much for appearances and then shaming fans when they’re disappointed by cancellations.

“You celebrities hock your s** expecting fans to pay exorbitant prices to make sure you can maintain your lifestyle. Then turn around and shame fans for feeling a certain way or asking for autographs. Sad what happened to your dog, but fans can feel upset for cancellation.”*

Saraya responded on social media, saying she understands frustration—but the hate went way too far. She was mocked in TikTok videos, called names, and harassed simply for staying home with her sick pet.

“You can absolutely be frustrated. But to make TikTok videos, harass me, call me awful names because I decided to stay home with my extremely sick dog who was rushed to the emergency room is uncalled for. I’m really great with my fans and try to make my meet n greet experiences a fun time for them… But that doesn’t give anyone the right to berate me and be cruel. It’s not ‘shaming.’ I was proving why this all happened. I was the one getting shamed. This is a s**** take.”*

Saraya’s message is clear: she values her fans, but her safety and family—including her dog—come first. Whether it’s creepy airport stalkers or online harassment, she’s not afraid to speak up.
