Tonya Wiggins (2024)

“

Well, where's your love for the hood? JB ain't doin' good, he needs help. We need your help, ni**a. We gonna lose everything.

”

— Tonya Wiggins

Tonya Wiggins is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series, appearing as a Stranger/Freak in Grand Theft Auto V, and being briefly mentioned in Grand Theft Auto Online.

She is voiced by Brianna Colette.

History[]

Background[]

Tonya and her husband JB are old friends of Franklin Clinton, growing up together in Forum Drive and going to Davis High School together.

According to Tonya, Franklin lost his virginity to her behind a Burger Shot when he was 13. Franklin, however, denies this and claims "nothing serious" happened, though it’s possible he could be just saying that because he feels embarrassed by it.

She claims JB and Franklin are cousins, which he denies.

She has a certificate in cosmetology, mistakenly referring to it as "cosmology" and showing off her nails. Franklin, after hearing this, jokingly asks her if she's going up to space.

Tonya works as a prostitute outside the liquor store opposite Franklin and Denise Clinton's house. Denise mentions on her Lifeinvader page that she hates living accross the street from a liquor store because whenever she looks out the window, she always sees Tonya hanging out in front of it.

She and JB each have a crack habit that causes them to neglect their towing service business. Because of this, they are in danger of losing it to creditors, although Tonya claims that she doesn't smoke crack as much as she used to, only doing "baby-hits just to get a taste". Franklin, however, is dubious and does not believe her.

Events of Grand Theft Auto V[]

Tonya Wiggins: "Look, I got a husband, he just needs money."

Trevor Philips: "Mmm, no he needs a divorce, lady."

Tonya Wiggins: "Creepy-ass motherf*cker. f*ck you! Disrespecting a lady like that. sh*t."

—Tonya talking to Trevor when they meet on the street

During 2013, she convinces Franklin to help fill in for JB as a Tow Truck driver for the LSPD Auto Impound on five separate occasions.

Michael and Trevor can both encounter her outside the liquor store on Forum Drive, and she will offer to "show them a good time", telling Trevor she sells her body to support herself and JB. Both protagonists reject her offer.

After the events of Grand Theft Auto V[]

As mentioned by Lamar Davis inside the Record A Studios smoke room, during The Contract update for Grand Theft Auto Online, Tonya still resides in South Los Santos in 2021.
