Priscilla Kelly is breaking her silence and reclaiming her worth after sending fans into panic just days ago with a since-deleted tweet that had many fearing for her safety.
The former WWE star, now back to performing under her Priscilla Kelly persona, gave more context on the emotional postand made it clear shes not letting anyone reduce her to just a body part.
The original tweet, which was quickly deleted but widely screenshotted, read: Maybe I should just kms? Dont worry Ill be face down ass up in the casket for you guys.
That single message sparked a wave of concern across the wrestling world. Fans flooded social media with support and urged Kelly to seek help. Now, days later, Kelly has returned to social media to explain what led to that momentand to push back on how shes being perceived.
She started by clarifying her intent behind the controversial tweet: I tweeted out of hurt. I was being dark and sarcastic, not literalbut I understand it landed heavy.
The 27-year-old then revealed the emotional strain shes been carrying since leaving WWE and returning to the indie scene, where shes trying to rebuild her brand while fending off sexualized commentary from some fans.
Getting mocked and sexualized when youre trying to rebuild something you love breaks a piece of you, she wrote. Im not broken. But Im also not bulletproof.
Kelly wasnt done. In follow-up tweets, she drew a clear line between compliments and dehumanization. Ps. Saying Im hot, sexy or whatever is fine. Saying my ONLY worth is my ass, a bit different. Hope this helps.
Then she finished with a shot of humor and self-worth: Im worth more than just my ass. Im worth my ass, some wrestling, mothering my pug Herman and Im worth taking out for a slice of pizza from time to time.
Kelly had recently reintroduced herself to fans in a dramatic video showing her literally burning her WWE past and embracing her old persona again. While that video symbolized power and rebirth, this latest online chapter pulled back the curtain on the real emotional toll of reinvention.
Even as she steps back into the spotlight, its clear Kelly is still healingand fans are rallying behind her now more than ever.
