Priscilla Kelly sent a shockwave through the wrestling world after posting—and quickly deleting—a disturbing tweet that appeared to suggest she was considering ending her life. The tweet, which came just weeks after her WWE release, sparked immediate concern across social media.

The original post read: “Maybe I should just kms? Don’t worry I’ll be face down ass up in the casket for you guys.”

Fans instantly flooded social meida with messages of support, urging her to seek help and reminding her that she mattered. Screenshots of the tweet spread fast before it was taken down, raising questions about Kelly’s mental and emotional state.

Now, in an update posted on June 3, 2025, Kelly addressed the message and offered an explanation. She admitted it was written out of frustration but wasn’t meant to be taken literally.

“I tweeted out of hurt. I was being dark and sarcastic, not literal—but I understand it landed heavy,” she wrote.

Kelly also opened up about what pushed her to that point, describing the emotional weight of trying to restart her wrestling career while feeling demeaned by the response from some fans.

“Getting mocked and sexualized when you’re trying to rebuild something you love breaks a piece of you,” she continued. “I’m not broken. But I’m also not bulletproof.”

Despite the emotional toll, Kelly made it clear she’s staying focused on rediscovering her passion for wrestling.

“Like most of you, I’m doing the best I can and my top priority right now is being creative, improving every day and having fun in wrestling again.”

The incident came shortly after Kelly released a dramatic video marking her return to the indie scene under her original Priscilla Kelly persona, burning her past in a symbolic rebirth. While fans were excited to see her back in full control of her character, this emotional moment served as a reminder of the mental toll that comes with public reinvention.

It’s clear Kelly is working through a difficult chapter, and her honesty gives fans a deeper look at the reality behind the scenes. The wrestling world may celebrate larger-than-life personas—but the people behind them carry real weight too.
