A woman from Texas just wanted to work out in peace, but a guy at her gym continued to harass her for months. Chelsie Gleason says the random man would approach her and try to talk to her repeatedly, and at first she didn’t think much of it. She’d tell him to leave her alone, that she didn’t need his help or advice and he’d move on. But after a few weeks of it happening, she and her friends started noticing the guy would go up to other people and talk about strange conspiracy stuff, like vans following him.
The 20-year-old was filming herself working out and caught the creep on camera. Chelsie was lifting weights when he approached her once again and she tried to ignore him by leaving her headphones in. But he got closer and then tried to touch her and that’s when she yelled, “Don’t come near me!” She posted the video of the incident on TikTok, captioning it, “Being a female is fun.” Now it’s gone viral and has people cheering her for her response.
Chelsie has since posted an update, explaining that she had a “really horrible interaction” with the guy, where he followed her around the gym, calling her names and harassing her after she repeatedly told him to leave her alone. Staff at the gym was aware of the situation and employees and Chelsie’s “gym bros” would walk her to her car to make sure she was safe. The guy was banned from the gym as a result of his behavior and when he tried to return, he was arrested. And it turns out, there was already a warrant out for him for stalking another girl and Chelsie says he’s now in jail and “everybody’s safe.”
