The Mystery Of Priscilla: My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding's Runaway Bride

Priscilla Kelly, who appeared on TLC's My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding, has since become a professional wrestler. She has said that the show misrepresented her, and that she was raised in a strict household where she was shamed for her sexuality. Kelly, who performs under the name Gigi Dolin, is now signed to WWE and has also wrestled for All Elite Wrestling.

Priscilla Kelly was 14 years old when she appeared on the show

Priscilla Kelly was just 14 years old when she appeared on TLC's My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding. She was the main focus of the episode "14 and Looking for Mr. Right", and later said that the programme had misrepresented her. Kelly revealed that the episode tried to make it look like she was trying to be married off at 14, which was not the case. She clarified that she did not have her first boyfriend until she was 16, and that she was not allowed to tell her parents about him.

Kelly was born into a family of Romanichal descent in Douglasville, Georgia, on June 5, 1997. She left school at the age of 12. She has since gone on to become a professional wrestler, and is currently signed to WWE, where she performs under the ring name Gigi Dolin on the NXT brand. She has also wrestled for Major League Wrestling (MLW) and Shine Wrestling, and has made appearances in Japan.

Kelly's wrestling persona has been influenced by her conservative, strict upbringing. She has said that she wanted to use wrestling to explore and express herself, and to show that women can push the envelope. She has also spoken about the double standards between men and women, and how women should not be shamed for anything different than men.

She later became a professional wrestler

Priscilla Kelly, who appeared on TLC's My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding, later became a professional wrestler. Kelly's wrestling persona is a sexy goth who likes to bite and lick her opponents. She says that she adopted this persona because she wanted to express herself and break free from her strict, conservative, gypsy upbringing. She wanted to show that women can push the envelope just as much as men.

Kelly's career as a professional wrestler has been marked by her desire to promote inclusivity and equality. She has stated that everyone deserves a chance and that bookings should be based on talent rather than someone's look or sexuality. She has also expressed disappointment with the way that society and the wrestling world treat LGBTQ people.

Kelly is married to AEW's Darby Allin.

Kelly said the show was 'scripted' and 'fake'

Priscilla Kelly, a former participant on TLC's My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding, has revealed that the show was "scripted and fake". In a 2014 Facebook post, Kelly wrote that producers went to great lengths to get their desired narrative, including hiring actors and faking weddings. She stated that they asked her to get married for the show, suggesting that it didn't have to be legal, just something for TV.

In an interview with Wrestling Inc., Kelly reiterated that the show was "very much a fake story". She clarified that, contrary to what was portrayed, she was not trying to find a husband at 14. While acknowledging her conservative and strict gypsy upbringing, she emphasised that the show was not an accurate representation of her life. Kelly described how she was raised with different standards than the men in her family and how this influenced her wrestling persona, where she wanted to explore and challenge the double standards faced by women.

Kelly's revelations about the show's inauthenticity are not without precedent. The show has been criticised for glorifying negative stereotypes, and some viewers have questioned its legitimacy, suggesting that it is common knowledge that the show is largely fabricated. Despite this, the show continues to captivate audiences with its over-the-top wedding dresses, teen brides, and dramatic trailer park fighting matches.

She was raised in a strict household

Priscilla Kelly, who appeared on TLC's My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding, was raised in a strict household. In an interview with Wrestling Inc., Kelly revealed that she was not allowed to date or go out, and that she was shamed for her sexuality. She also stated that the men in her family were allowed to do whatever they wanted, while the women had to act a certain way.

Kelly's experience on the show was not reflective of her actual upbringing. She claimed that the episode tried to make it look like she was trying to be married off at 14, which was not true. In reality, Kelly did not have her first boyfriend until she was 16, and even then, she had to keep it a secret from her parents.

Growing up in a strict household had a significant impact on Kelly. She felt that she wanted to break out and express herself, which led to her pursuing a career in wrestling. In wrestling, she wanted to explore the idea that women should not be shamed for anything different than men and that they deserve equal treatment.

Despite facing criticism from some members of her community for her choices, Kelly has also received support from others who appreciate her for doing her own thing. She has become a professional wrestler, adopting a sexy goth persona in the ring.

Kelly's wrestling persona is a 'sexy goth'

Priscilla Kelly, who appeared on TLC's My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding, has since become a professional wrestler. Her wrestling persona, Kelly, is a sexy goth who likes to bite and lick her opponents. She made her professional debut in March 2015.

Initially, Kelly embraced her Gypsy heritage as her brand, but that gradually morphed into a Goth succubus character. Her signature ring antics include seduction, biting, licking, and grinding—combined with the usual headlocks, pile drivers, and body slams. As part of her vampy Goth branding, she is billed as "Hell's favourite harlot" and often declares, "I like girls and boys!"

Kelly's wrestling persona is a reaction to her conservative and strict upbringing, where she was shamed for her sexuality and even for a sexual assault she experienced at just 11 years old. She wanted to push the envelope and show that women can express themselves and be treated equally. She has stated that her confidence in the ring and the way she acts and dresses amount to more than just a two-dimensional character but an empowering character with depth.

Kelly has faced backlash for her controversial performances, including one instance where she taunted her opponent by sticking her hands down her pants and then pulling out a "bloody" tampon and stuffing it into her opponent's mouth. While some criticised her for being embarrassing and disgraceful, others applauded her for pushing boundaries and increasing representation for women in wrestling.
