This beauty queen’s night turned ugly thanks to one alleged bad Apple user.
Miss Maryland USA contestant Jazmine Wright claimed a stalker attached an Apple AirTag tracking device to her car before she left a bar around 2 a.m. Saturday.
“So something kinda terrifying happened to me last night,” Wright, 28, tweeted to her more than 1,700 followers over the weekend. “Someone attached an Apple AirTag to the underside of my front wheel well while I was inside a bar.”
In her viral Twitter thread, which has garnered more than 32,000 likes, the Baltimore native said she reportedly discovered that an AirTag — a small, lightweight tracking device that helps Apple users locate misplaced items by way of Bluetooth technology — had been secretly affixed to her Lexus.
“It was 2 am and I was driving away with no cars around me and I kept getting this alert for like 30 mins straight,” she wrote alongside a series of iPhone notification screenshots that read, “AirTag Found Moving With You: The location of this AirTag can be seen by the owner.”
But Wright said she wasn’t immediately alarmed by the suspicious digital advisories.
“I’ve gotten that alert before while I was traffic…sometimes when you’re near other [people] for a while on the road Apple thinks it’s following you,” she wrote. “But it was late, and I started to make a bunch of right turns and run counter and I was *still* repeatedly getting this message.”
Wright allegedly made the potentially life-saving decision to drive to a safe location.
“I checked all my things, like my purse, my trench coat pockets, my wallet—couldn’t find anything. Then I was like what if they stuck it on my car? But I didn’t find anything,” she tweeted. “I didn’t wanna go home, so I spent the night somewhere and just said I’d figure it out in the morning.”
She then claimed that a friend found the AirTag mounted on the underside of her vehicle’s front passenger wheel well the next day.
“It bothers me cause no matter how *safe* women try to be (I was NEVER alone, parked somewhere well lit, etc…) it doesn’t matter if someone truly wishes to harm you,” Wright wrote.
“Very much reminds me of @moneyymaya story of her in DC hotel. This area is PRIME for human trafficking!!,” she added, citing the 25-year-old woman’s recently trending claims that she was allegedly nearly kidnapped by human traffickers during her stay at a hotel in Washington, DC.
Wright went on to share a screenshot of Apple’s AirTag privacy description, which states: “Only you can see where your AirTag is. Your location data and history are never stored on the AirTag itself. Devices that relay the location of your AirTag also stay anonymous, and that location data is encrypted every step of the way. So not even Apple knows the location of your AirTag or the identity of the device that helps find it.”
She captioned the snap of the product details “CRAZY,” noting the Tag’s highly confidential locator features.
She then slammed keyboard critics who tried downplaying the severity of her nearly deadly encounter.
“For those saying this could happen with any device—NOT TRUE. AirTags are different than Tile-like devices. AirTags have LIVE TRACKING! If a foreign AirTag is around ANY Apple device that’s connected to a network, a nefarious AirTag owner will know its location!” Wright exclaimed. “For example—if someone slipped one in your purse. Your phone is off but you’re in a mall. As long there are ppl in the mall that have iPhones, every time you walk near someone else’s iPhone, the bad guy owner of the AirTag will get a LIVE update on your location.”
Neither Apple nor Wright immediately responded to The Post’s requests for comment.
Late Monday morning, Wright also tweeted that she was “not super keen on answering questions” from the media about the incident or where she currently lived for her own protection.
“Hi! (I get it) but I’m not super keen on answering questions about where I’m from, where I currently live etc…lets say someone IS trying to stalk me & didn’t just want to steal my car—why would I make it easier on them w/ more visibility?” she wrote.
And although it isn’t clear whether Wright reported the harrowing event to the police, she did assure her followers that she’d emotionally recovered from the incident.
“Thanks for all the support everyone,” Wright wrote. “I’m fine and doing okay!”
