Wrestler Priscilla Kelly has reached new levels of fame after a video of her apparently removing a tampon and shoving it into her opponent’s mouth went viral.
The video was posted on December 31st, and was taken at a night called ‘Suburban Fight’ that took place in Los Angeles on December 30th. The fight was between Kelly and another wrestler known as Tuna.
In the video, Kelly can be heard shouting “Alright Tuna, you wanna taste the tuna?!” before reaching into her shorts, doing what can only be described as ‘rooting around’ until she pulls out what looks like a used tampon.
The crowd then screams in shock and awe, and only gets louder as Kelly approaches Tuna, straddles her, dangles the tampon above her mouth, and shoves it in.

Some wrestlers were quick to denounce the stunt.
I’m seeing this post of a women’s match that got disgusting and I’m not gonna repost it Bc it’s seriously a disgrace. Why??? Whoever thought that was a spot that was gonna get a pop and was worth it….. NO. how about telling a story in the ring with your wrestling instead?

Kelly and her supporters were quick to point out that like much of what wrestlers do, the stunt was fake, and people continuing to denounce it despite knowing that are upholding sexism in wrestling.

Backlash from this is further proof that most men are afraid of/*disgusted* by women doing things that aren’t “pretty”. Better maintain this same hOrRoR the next time an indy show does their monthly pointless deathmatch. https://t.co/kNYkXKtU4v

I was shooting the show that night. Art is subjective no matter what medium, and people will react differently. Opinions are okay, because art is meant to make us have them. Personally, this felt like watching Iggy Pop dive into a table of glass in the 60s and I'm glad I shot it pic.twitter.com/wbs8XBOSoz

A penis is funny and awesome.
A vagina is disgusting and trashy. #Equality?

Wrestling is known for outrageous stunts, and this one pales in comparison to stunts that have literally killed people. Perspective, people.
