I was obsessed with wrestling when growing up and it's always been about shock factor and bringing something completely unexpected. It wasn't actually a used tampon and scripted like everything else.
I've seen in other interviews where you have said that your mother told you that boys want the princess and not the punk rock girl. Your mom was WRONG. Very, very wrong. Be proud of who you are. You're the kind of person who went to Japan all by yourself to further your dream. Most people are too scared to ever leave their safe and comfortable surroundings to take that kind of chance. You want to be Baby from The Devil's Rejects? Rock on! (And that kind of crazy would be great incorporated into your character.) And the "tampon spot" was the worst thing to ever happen in wrestling? WWE did a necrophilia angle that involved one of the guys who now runs the damn company, so, whatever. You should be yourself and be proud of yourself. You seem pretty damn great to me.
So glad you have found you! I too saw the show where your dad Pat Baby was fighting off the boys and it seemed to me you were set up from a very early age to be a model gypsy wife and mother. Society is so screwed up and those boys grabbing at you, a little 14 year old girl, society says that's ok. You were just a prop in a pretty dress and that is sad. I am sad that you're family blew up too. I am infuriated that TLC would exploit the gypsy community that way. It was a travesty what that show did to your very tumultuous and tragic history. I am glad you are building this amazing woman out of a broken little girl. One thing though How was that dress from Sondra Celli paid for and all of the other dresses on the show? Did tlc pick up the bill? Good luck in the future!
Whoa! All this while I was like poor kid. Being a sexual abuse survivor is hard. But taking out your tampon and shoving it in someone else's mouth? She's comparing this to homophobia or racism? Saying something verbally is definitely verbal abuse. But still that's not a physical harm. So, according to her something inhumanely disgusting done to another human is fun and games and a remark made about hating some other kind because you don't understand them, is somehow worse? No wonder it's bad. But this is a weird spot. How is saying saying something worse than inflicting physical trauma to someone else and saying "fun and games"? Ofcourse doing anything racist or homophobic is equally bad. But she's talking about remarks. Now that's the space where we ask is something bad because it was done to a human? Does same race, straight people crimes don't count anymore? She was a victim and I genuinely feel for her but this, WAS DEFINITELY HORRIFIC. Would have been absolutely ok if she had done it to her sexual predator. But nah, I see no reason to do it to a competitive partner in a fair match.
Please keep being you Priscilla. One of my biggest regrets in life is the time I wasted trying to appease society and not being me. Maybe with a role model like you people of all genders can learn that lesson sooner. Be yourself and just don’t hurt others. So simple. So beautiful. Thank you.
Came here from a TLC react. Can I just say as a woman, I wish we'd had such powerful alternative examples of women like yourself within wrestling when I was a kid. Wrestling is LUCKY to have you, never give up!!!
I am a thirteen year old girl, and I can honestly say that I have been fighting for my rights as a young woman, I am really into gun and archery shooting, as well as sword fighting, martial arts, and bushcraft. I also want to build myself a tiny house for when I'm old enough to move out. I have had problems with people who doubt me as a young teenage girl, one of my friends have told me "Why can't you just be like a normal teenager." I have had stares in the stores when people see I bring around a knife for self defense, I have had some people in my own family tell me who I "should" be. It's hard to keep pushing, but I hold my head up high and get good at what I love doing. I want to be a Marine in the military when I'm older, but my dad and my sisters tell me that I shouldn't, but I haven't given up that dream yet. I want this to be a message to all the young girls, or even boys struggling with people telling them that they will never get to where they want to be. Just hold your head high, be stubborn about it, and go do whatever you want to do. It has worked for me, and I love myself for who I am because of it. I feel like so many people feel miserable because they've never fully done what they love, because if you do, you'll accept yourself, you'll forget about other people's stupid opinions, and you'll be yourself. It's a great position to be in, and I encourage others to follow in my footsteps regarding that. :)
Do it. That's all it takes. Just do it. It will take a long time, but time goes by so very quickly that if you don't do it, every day, you will forget these dreams. Trust me I know. I was actually accepted on a sniper scholarship, as I was the captain of rifle team. I was a sharpshooter. I didn't just do it. I took time to think about it, and ended up not going. I do regret this, but at the time I thought, hell I am only 17 . Maybe I still have have time to make sure for certain that is what I want to do. Don't do that. Opportunities come and they just as quickly! You CAN DO IT. I KNOW SO!
As someone who grew up surrounded by enlisted military, the biggest advice they all give to people wanting to join is to join as an officer (or try to become an officer as soon as possible)!
Ahhh I come across your comment a whole year later and it fills me with so much joy and hope for future generations of women.. it’s so awesome to see such a young lady have so much self awareness and fighting for her right to just be a woman in a world where we are constantly told your looks and what you have to offer a future husband is where your worth lays.. I am proud of you ❤️
You're awesome, dude. I'm into bushcraft, hiking, campfire cooking, fishing and all those kinds of things as well. I get told those are for men but I love those kinds of things and I think they're healthy hobbies. I haven't had many chances to practice bushcraft but I have been hiking, camping, and fishing before and I love it. I wish to create my own house one day as well and I'm very much into cottagecore (the aesthetic of gardens, cottages, forests, and other relaxing life choices). Cottagecore needs more "manly" aspects to it so I encourage you to get into it :) We seem to have a lot in common so hmu sometime, my insta is in my bio.
Really interesting story- I came from the video that was showing her at the halloween party You deny it but you are an incredibly brave person for leaving that life behind to be who you want to be! F amily is who you surround yourself with. You choose your family in my opinion The tampon thing is shocking...but you do you girl! I really like you and I hope you go far with wrestling!!!
What a great personality she has!!! I just watch that old TLC episode and I would've never expected her to grow up to be so intellectual and well spoken.
This girl is so strong and amazing. She's been through so much and she still fights and does her best. I hope she has an amazing best rest of her life possible because she's amazing and she deserves it
This is the most inspiring video I've seen in a long time. Right now I'm really struggling with my depression again, like many do in these days. Somehow, this gives me hope.
Sweetness YOU are an inspiration. The tampon incident MADE EVERY ONE want to know about YOU, not an easy fear when 8 billion people have internet accts. ....at the very least, they will never forget your name !! Best wishes for an extraordinary life of love and blessings. I would be so proud to call you my beloved daughter. 💙💙💙
Who else is here after she poured out her heart on NXT tonight, giving us a heartfelt establishing promo I haven't seen the likes of since Hard Times? She is a hero for this generation, inside and outside the ring.
I'm so inspired. Thank you so much Priscilla for sharing that I still got hope to do the things I love, to follow my passion ❤️you're amazing. God bless you 💌
I found her out about 4-5months ago and i know of her story...All i can say is congrats to her.. Although she was pressured and went through a hard time in the past, never enjoyed a normal teenhood(which is important for shaping your persona),was raped and was rejected by her own family, she is here stronger than ever to prove that if there is willingness and faith then there is nothing we can't achieve 🙏...She is so confident,selfless, optimistic and badass....We need more role models like her... Coming into an end,to everyone struggling, don't worry it will get over and you will only get better, stronger and more mature trust me❤️❤️💁...Life is stunning and im Very glad and proud that ppl like her prove it through their life... Priscilla,god bless you and your beautiful brother,never change for anyone and anything,you are gorgeous in and out😘🙏❣️💎👑👑👑You are a TRUE PRINCESS whether you are wearing dresses with bling or not❤️😘🙏💎👑👸
Just making these videos you have made a huge difference to so many women and girls, truly inspirational, I'm so happy that you get to be you and thankyou for women and girls everywhere for sharing your story, I'm sure it wasn't easy for you, I hope you are still thriving and continue to do so! ❤
I'm so proud of you for doing what makes you happy despite everything thrown at you to make you stop and I hope you have a very happy life and future I'm so sorry for all the terrible things you suffered as a child you're an amazingly strong young woman and character hugs and love from the Uk xxx
Please please keep being yourself And that’s all you need to be. Because you are not alone in this world 🌎 Priscilla Kelly please please keep doing what you need to do for yourself Don’t stop believing in yourself because
Her story is one of the most wholesome things I have ever heard. She has so much consideration for others despite people turning on her for a moment in her younger days that must have emotionally scarred her that was in no way her fault. I have so much respect for her and hope she has a life filled with joy, happiness and wrestling! You go girl! Be yourself no matter what. You’re a legend 💖💖
I’ve loved wrestling forever and to hear her story is so amazing and inspiring,plus every thing she is saying is so true.I look up to you so much.thanks for being yourself
I loved her on the show and I love her now I could see through all the BS then, I knew it was just a reality TV! The dress and the outfit was really fun though! I am so proud of the woman that she has become because despite it all at 14 we all are children and we grow up and that’s exactly what she did and I’m really enjoying the person that she has become and maybe get to meet her someday!
I'm so glad she got out of that horrible life, I just found about her true story and I'm amazed how far she has come to follow her dreams and she not longer has to deal with her family.
Oh I love you, Priscilla! Don't give a fuck what everyone says! I am gay, I was bullied as a child and a teenager my whole life. And the best lesson I could evee lern from it was "Fuck everyone! I know what kind of person I am, and I don't owe you any explanations! I love myself and that's the most important!"
When I saw her on tlc I noticed something seemed off. Like the whole loving cleaning and stuff it all just seemed forced. But I'm so glad that she was able to break free of that and she is now able to be her own person. Good for you Priscilla I hope things keep going well for you.
Cant please everyone all the time, but you can not hurt others intentionally. I'd say the later is much more important. Believe it or not I'm a fan of Corney and a fan of yours Obviously for much different reasons . You represent the future, he recalls the past. Go gettem Priscilla
I'm just now watching this, and all I have to say is, PK you are Beautiful! You have a beautiful soul and you are strong! Be yourself!!! No matter what!!!!! Because either way I'll still love you!! And so will your true fans and everyone who is being hateful to you, well let them, just means your doing something right! Can't satisfy everyone. I'm glad their are people like you, pure inspiration and full of heart! Always a BIG FAN! Maybe one day I'll be able meet you, til then stay strong, sharp and beautiful. And always remember although it just seems like were fans, WE DO CARE ABOUT YOU! With all my love, take care gigi
Good lord that tampon bit had me dead lmao. Dayum girly..... Can someone please tell me which production she's wrestling for? I don't think I've heard of her especially if she only started in like 2018-2019, since I stopped following wrestling 5 years ago cuz the WWE went to shit. She's gorgeous and badass, what more do you want? You go girl!
Oh my bloody god that's HILARIOUS 🤣 I'M in AWE. You are wonderful and intelligent and interesting and fun and secure in yourself. #WONDERFULLYMADE #WOMANPOWER
A lot of folk have never like gypsies and after u telling your story more stories could come out. About what really goes on. Well done for coming out and telling your story. You could write a book on your life.
Inspiring story, a special person that creates a unique wrestling persona, in the ring, you rock. Incredible that someone with a slight frame can take and dish out that level of punishment. People generally love and/or fear the unusual. Joey Ryan is loved for his "dong style" one of the many things you can do in the ring is a female equivalent. Acting ability in the ring is fantastic. Please always be you...
I for 1 I'm happy to see that you did not wind up with her boyfriend or excuse me her husband when you were 15 because I thought what a beautiful little creature and they made your life look so sad. Family as everything's ally buh Good for you take care of your brother and god bless you are a beautiful bird ! Fly
Fuck yeah. Love her. Also do people actually consider the tampon thing to be horrible?? There’s been waaaay worse things to happen in wrestling plus it seems that no one knows what a stunt is these days lol
Priscilla Kelly. Your story is inspiring and I do not like what your mom did to you in the past but I am going to try to put a link for you in here that should make you happy 😁 FOREVER.
