Priscilla Kelly (fka Gigi Dolin in WWE) is speaking up about the issues she struggled with while in WWE. While speaking with Denise Salcedo, Kelly revealed that she became suicidal after being mistreated by several people in WWE.

Kelly was a mainstay in NXT from 2021-2025, having formed Toxic Attraction with Mandy Rose and Jacy Jayne. Despite contending for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship in 2025, her contract was not renewed once it expired in May. Kelly has since found success on the independent scene in companies like GCW and MLW.

“I went through a lot of stuff in WWE that kind of shot me into this horrible depression and at the tail end of Toxic [Attraction] I was severely depressed,” Kelly revealed. “I put on on a bunch of weight, I started not caring about my ring work, I kind of gave up ’cause I was just so depressed because of things that were happening behind the scenes.”

“I kind of went through this down period of, ‘I hate my life, I’m collecting a paycheck. I’m just hoping someday I can get back to who I am and the performer that I am.’ I as soon as I started to feel like I was myself again, I tore my meniscus.”

When asked what specifically was causing her depression, Kelly explained some aspects of her private life.

“I have a lot going on my personal life on top of everything else,” Kelly said. “Both of my parents have a lot of issues and my dad’s been in prison for the last four years, he actually just got out this past weekend. I’m dealing with my little brother that is going through hell and he’s on his own and my mom’s got all kinds of issues, my dad’s locked up… I have a lot of personal stuff going on.”

“The pressure of WWE is a lot… there just was a lot of pressure those first two years, because I was new and I came from the indies. There was a lot that they were trying to like beat out of me. There was just stuff going on behind the scenes.”

“I don’t want to bring it up ’cause I know it’ll blow up and then it’ll become a whole thing, but let’s just say some people were very, very, very not nice to me, to the point that I was suicidal for a little bit, because I was really going through it. Once I got out of that… I would say in the beginning of 2023, I started doing main events on the main roster and stuff and that’s when I really felt like, ‘Okay this is who I am, this is like the kind of wrestling I like to do.’”
