Newark, NJ – Reality TV personality Antonia Gorga described a harrowing experience on the New Jersey Turnpike in a TikTok video posted Sunday, warning her followers to “be aware of your surroundings” after a driver allegedly stalked and harassed her for nearly an hour.
Gorga, 19, said she was driving home from school back to her home when she began noticing a car repeatedly matching her speed and changing lanes to stay alongside her. In the video, she recounted how the man “started circling my car” and making hand gestures while laughing and staring at her.

Key Points
- Antonia Gorga said a man stalked her car for an hour on the New Jersey Turnpike.
- She called 911 and gave dispatchers the driver’s license plate and location.
- State troopers attempted to locate the vehicle but it’s unclear if the suspect was caught.
Hour-long ordeal
According to Gorga, the driver mimicked her movements — speeding up, slowing down, and cutting her off whenever she tried to evade him. She said she eventually called her father, who told her to dial 911.
Dispatchers instructed her to change lanes, slow to 30 mph, and turn on her hazard lights. Gorga said the man copied her actions, flashing his hazards and continuing to make gestures out of his sunroof.
Safety warning
She told her 1 million TikTok followers she was eventually able to lose the car while staying on the phone with state troopers. It’s unclear whether authorities identified the suspect.
“I just wanted to say this because it’s so scary,” Gorga said in the video. “Be aware of your surroundings.”
