00:00Kaley Cuoco, known for her role in The Big Bang Theory, recently shared her traumatic
00:04hotel scare story during her appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, raising serious
00:09hotel privacy concerns.
00:11Just hours before her appearance, Cuoco, also known for The Flight Attendant, had a shocking
00:15encounter in her hotel room when a random man entered while she was getting ready.
00:20I have to show you.
00:21So I'm like really dramatically drying my hair.
00:26When I look up in the mirror, I see a man in my room.
00:35Frozen in shock with a blowdryer in hand, Cuoco finally called out to the man, who
00:39rushed out of the room and apologized profusely.
00:42She recounted, what was that?
00:44I think he worked at the hotel, I hope.
00:46Seth Meyers joked about it being a part of her talk show appearance, saying, wouldn't
00:50it be terrible if I'm like, we did know you were on tonight, so we sent somebody over.
00:55Kayleigh's always so good when she's on, let's give her a story.
00:58While Cuoco's story may have been a laughable misunderstanding, it details why many women
01:03are taking extreme measures to ensure their hotel rooms are safe.
01:06There's a growing trend on social media where women share the extreme lengths they
01:10go to for hotel room security.
01:13One TikToker that goes by the name Victoria Ways shares tips that include how she blocks
01:17a peephole, jams an ironing board under the door handle, and uses an infrared device to
01:22detect hidden cameras.
01:23Many applaud these precautions, sharing their own hacks in the comments, while others point
01:28out how sad it is that such measures are even necessary.
01:31Sadly, these precautions stem from increasing stories of assaults and intrusions, such as
01:35a cabin crew member being attacked at a hotel in Heathrow, making it clear why people, especially
01:41women, are becoming more vigilant.
01:43Due to these concerns, experts like Kate Fitzpatrick, the security director for EMEA at World Travel
01:48Protection, have weighed in.
01:50In a September 2024 World Travel Protection blog post, Fitzpatrick explains that hotel
01:55security measures can vary widely based on the hotel's star rating and location.
02:00For example, she shared that at a five-star establishment, you can expect regular security
02:04patrols and strong links with local law enforcement.
02:07However, Fitzpatrick noted that some social media hotel security tips, such as placing
02:12a chair against the door for added peace of mind, are especially useful in more affordable
02:16accommodations.
02:17For Kaley Cuoco, the shock of her own hotel scare was a reminder that even the most unexpected
02:22incidents can happen, reminding us all that whether you're a Hollywood actress or just
02:26someone on a business trip, it's important to stay alert, trust your instincts, and take
02:31action when you feel unsafe.
