We've already shared some chilling details of Sonya Deville's recent ordeal with a crazed stalker, but now that the WWE SmackDown Superstar has testified at a pre-trial hearing for Phillip Arnold Thomas II, the true depths of his depravity have come to light.
PWInsider has a breakdown of what Deville, real name Daria Berenato, revealed during the hearing, and it makes for a grim, disturbing read.
"Deville testified that one of the messages featured a threat that demanded she needed to have sex with the defendant or he would release her address to the world. He also threatened the lives of every living relative in her family, including her mother, her sister and her nieces as well as Deville’s ex-girlfriend. His messages claimed that he could walk next door to her house, that he could kill people to show her he was serious and sent her messages stating “Tick Tock when will the fun begin?”
She testified that he threatened to come find her at a WWE event and it wouldn’t matter if she was backstage, that he would get to her baby niece and that he would force her to perform sex acts on him and would force her to do so in the WWE Performance Center. She testified that her ex-girlfriend was so frightened by messages she received, she deactivated her own Instagram. She testified that she received a message that the only way to save her family from hard was to have sexual relations with him – and that he was coming to see her in person, wearing a mask.
She testified that he sent a message saying that since she was ignoring him, he was coming to see her to talk to her in person, warning her that he was going to “get what I want” and would make her regret the fact that he was being ignored by her."
There's more, but you get the gist.
Thomas has been charged with Aggravated Stalking, Armed Burglary of a Dwelling, Attempted Armed Kidnapping, and Criminal Mischief. Based on Deville's testimony, let's hope he gets put away for a long time, because this guy is clearly a very real threat.
Sonya is set to face Mandy Rose in a "Hair vs. Hair" Match this Sunday at SummerSlam.
