Indy wrestling star Priscilla Kelly has been the talk in the wrestling world after her recent Tampon spot went viral at a Suburban Fight Pro wrestling event. Kelly recently sat down for an interview with the Shining Wizards podcast where she discusses all the attention she's been getting both positive and negative and her response to the criticism. Below are highlights
Iām not new to the attention. I did a TV show when I was 14, and I received tons of attention and backlash from, and everything in between from that, so Iām kind of preconditioned to this kind of thing. Obviously, this is on a bigger scale than that was, but still kind of the same context.
Itās not even about āOoh, I want to shock the world.ā I literally just thought it would be funny, and Iāve had the idea for months now. Iāve just been waiting for the right opportunity to use it.
Not at all. Iāve spoken in previous interviews where I said that when you do these types of shows, you donāt know going into it if there are going to be cameras. You donāt know if itās going to be posted. You donāt know going into these shows, like what to expect, because there are a lot of bar shows that Iāve done that never see the light of day. So, I didnāt expect anything out of it honestly.
I mean, we get a lot of people saying a lot of things- good, bad, negative, or whatever. I expected to be called disgusting or gross. I wouldnāt have done it if it wouldnāt provoke that kind emotion. But I never think itās ok to attack someone personally, to attack their character, or to attack them as a human being. I think thatās never ok, no matter the situation. I think if you want to make a comment on your opinion about it being gross, or disgusting, thatās fine. But donāt attack me as a person when you donāt know who I am. He did apologize, and I appreciate that. But I think, ya know, it takes five seconds to look at your tweet before you send it and say āHmm, is this kind of cruel? Am I attacking her on a personal level?ā And if thatās the case, maybe you should just keep your mouth shut.
Honestly, no. I donāt think it blew any chance. I mean, if it did, thereās plenty of other opportunity in the world of professional wrestling for me. Thereās plenty of other ways to make money in this business. Would I like to go to WWE? Yeah, Iād love to go to WWE. Iād like to go anywhere. I like making money. I like expanding my horizons. I like showing off my work on very large platforms. But at the same time, no, I donāt think it really could have harmed me because I think thereās a lot worse things that have happened. Not only on TV, but I think there are a lot worse things that have happened privately in wrestlersā lives. These things are very public, and I think what I did, itās simply a stunt at the end of the day. Thereās no cruelty behind my actions, and I think that is the most important aspect.
