Former WWE star Priscilla Kelly is setting the record after her recent comments about depression during her NXT run led to a ton of backlash.
After her interview with Denise Salcedo in November 2025 went viral for revealing that she was bullied to the point of being suicidal during her WWE run, Kelly jumped on her YouTube vlog to correct the narrative. She made it clear that while she did go through a tough time in NXT, the internet has seriously blown things out of proportion.
She didnt name names, but Kelly made it clear her struggles werent due to the company as a whole and shes not living in that mental space anymore. According to her, the internets reaction has been frustrating and totally misrepresentative.
Kelly pointed out something real: just because someone hits a low point doesnt mean theyre stuck there forever. Life happens, and pain is a chapter not the whole book.
What really pushed her to speak out was the online reaction labeling her as someone struggling with chronic depression or unstable mental health. She shut down that narrative and pushed back against the stigma.
Now, she says shes doing well, emotionally and professionally, and reminds fans that everyone rides lifes roller coaster.
Priscilla Kellys honesty isnt just about clearing the air its about owning her truth, shutting down false narratives, and reminding people that a dark chapter doesnt define a whole story. The wrestling world, and the internet, could use a little more of that.
