Inspite of Her Stalker’s Punishment, Mandy Rose’s Best Friend Calls the Declared Verdict “Bittersweet”

Mandy Rose was a highly regarded wrestler and gained significant popularity during her tenure in WWE. She left the company in a less-than-ideal manner, but her impact and legacy within WWE remain notable. She formed a successful tag team with Sonya Deville, known as Fire and Desire, and their partnership was well-received by fans. Sonya Deville has since formed a tag team with Chelsea Green, and she has also held authoritative roles within WWE. Deville continues to be a beloved and prominent character on the screen.

However, a few years back, she befell a severe crisis in her personal life, when a stalker started tormenting her. However, since then the stalker has received his punishment, but Deville does not seem satisfied with it. With recent good news coming, she overcame some traumatic stuff in the past.

What did Mandy Rose’s best friend Sonya Deville claim about her stalker’s punishment?

Around three years ago in 2020, Sonya Deville fell victim to a major stalking incident. The accused, Phillip Arnold Thomas was recently put behind bars for 15 years. The incident saw him being obsessed with Deville, sending her spine-chilling messages, and even kidnapping threats.

Thomas even threatened to kill Deville’s girlfriend as well. However, he was soon arrested, and a recent verdict saw him imprisoned for 15 long years. However, despite this good news, Deville was not left content with the decision. During an interview with Maria Menounos, she revealed she was left “bittersweet” with the decision.

The 29-year-old WWE superstar said, “It’s bittersweet. I was mentally prepared to [go to trial], and then it went a different way. I’m very grateful of the outcome, I think it’s great and my lawyers are happy with it, so I trusted their advisement and I think it’s good. “

Thomas had pleaded guilty to offenses such as aggravated stalking, armed burglary, and kidnapping. And thus, his verdict was presented without a trial. Deville claimed that she was prepared for something else, and wanted to go to the trial, and thus was left with mixed emotions.
