TNA authority figure Daria Rae (Sonya Deville) says her convicted stalker threatened to come after her again after his release.
TNA’s on-screen Director of Operations, Daria Rae, recently sat down with Shawn French of The Determined Society for an interview. During the conversation, she recalled when a stalker broke into her home in 2020. The person, who was identified as Phillip Thomas, was sentenced to 15 years in prison. She recounted the incident and what happened after the cops arrived.
“Cops come out. They have their guns drawn. Their flashlights on. I pull up, and they go, ‘Is this your house?’ And I’m like, ‘Yeah.’ They’re like, ‘Back the f**k up.’ I’m like, ‘Okay.’ Two minutes later, they come out with this dude kicking and screaming in handcuffs. I’m like, ‘That man just came out of my house.’ Long story short, they go in the cop car. They briefly interrogate him to find out what’s going on,” the TNA Authority figure began.
Daria Rae then noted that she had four years of disturbing social media text messages from the stalker.
“They come confront us, and they’re like, ‘What do you do for a living?’ I’m like, ‘Oh, I’m a wrestler at WWE.’ He’s like, ‘Well, he says he’s a fan of yours, but he says you guys talk.’ I’m like, ‘What? What’s this guy’s name? Let me look him up on my Instagram. I’m sure he’s DM’d me.’ They give me his name. I look him up on Instagram, and sure enough, I had four years of messages from him, with the very last message saying, ‘I’m finally here, baby girl. I’m on your patio. I’ll see you soon, and I’m going to kill that blonde b***h (Mandy Rose) inside with you,'” the TNA star continued.
“And then there were messages before that that literally were a play-by-play of what he was going to do. ‘I’m driving down to see you now. I’ll be there soon. You’re going to talk, whether you like it or not.’ Like all these kinds of horrible things. Very graphic. He had been planning this for years. He lived in South Carolina. He worked at Applebee’s, and he decided he was going to drive to Florida and park at a church a mile from my house,” Daria Rae went on.
“I was in a gated community. So he army-crawled through the wetlands behind the gated community. Took his shoes and socks off on my patio, cut a hole in my screen patio to get in, sat there, watched me and Mandy watch TV for four hours, and then made his move. Once he saw us go to bed, he waited another two hours. He was very meticulous, but he planned this whole thing out,” the TNA star continued.
Speaking further, the TNA Director of Operations said the stalker accepted the deal her lawyer offered him and took a 15-year prison sentence. However, she noted that the disturbing thing about the whole ordeal is that he made it clear during the interrogation that he’d try breaking into her home again once he’s out of jail.
“The only thing he missed, and he says this in his interrogation, which you can scarily see on YouTube. He says, ‘The only mistake I made was that she would have an alarm system. I didn’t think she had one.’ I did like a pre-trial thing. I got a permanent restraining order against him. And then we were supposed to go to trial, which I was quite looking forward to putting him behind bars for a long time. And then my lawyer called me and said, ‘I’m going to offer him a crazy deal, like, you know, more than I think he might get if we go to trial. And if he takes it, he takes it.’ And he took it. And so he’s in jail for 15 years,” the TNA star continued.
“So that’s my timeline to get extremely wealthy so that I can have the measures in place because he had said, well, he had tried to contact me from jail through attorneys multiple times. And then he had made it very clear in his interrogation, like, when he gets out, he’s coming for the same thing. So that’s the only uneasy part,” Daria Rae said.
