Sonya Deville has been through a lot over the years, including dealing with a dangerous stalker. In August 2020, a man named Philip Thomas II broke into her home and tried to kidnap her after stalking her online for years. In fact, Deville has now revealed what his real intentions were.
While speaking on The Ariel Helwani Show, Sonya Deville talked about the scary messages her stalker sent her over the years. She said he was always the one to end their conversations, and over time, his messages became more aggressive. She noted that he sent threats about hurting her and her family.
Philip Thomas II made it clear in his messages that he planned to kidnap her, keep her hostage, and stop her from going to SummerSlam. He wanted to take control and do whatever he wanted to her.
“None of that is true. If you read the messages he sent over the years, he was always the one ending them, and his most recent messages got more and more aggressive. I mean, they were horrible.
They included things he was going to do to my family members and things he was going to do to me in front of them. His intentions were very clear in the messages—he was going to kidnap me, hold me hostage, make sure I didn’t show up to SummerSlam specifically, and have his way with me.”
When asked why he targeted her, Deville said Thomas claimed he was in love with her. He was upset that she only liked women and not both men and women. He thought she should at least give men a chance just because he was attracted to both. She made it clear that his thinking was crazy, but that was what he believed.
“His story was that he was in love with me, and he was mad that I was only into women and not both women and men. Apparently, because he was into both women and men, I should be too. He thought I should at least give the other gender a shot. I’m just reiterating what he said because, obviously, it’s crazy talk, but that was his point of view.”
As previously reported, Judge Barbara Twine-Thomas handed a 15-year sentence to Philip Thomas II back in 2023 and an additional 15 years probation after his sentence is over. Nevertheless, Deville is simply happy to move on from this entire incident and she wouldn’t have it any other way.
