Kelly plays the sexism card:

Kelly Kelly says WWE have not supported her projects outside of WWE, including her hopes to be in the Baywatch movie...

"They just haven't given any support whatsoever. They support when guys do other things outside of the business like The Rock and Steve Austin. They support them fully. For me, it's like really? We didn't have a falling out. I left on good terms. Now that I'm doing this on my own, and I'm on the same network, you could be more supportive. So that has been upsetting, but people I used to work with and a lot of the wrestlers watch it. So that's great to have their support. Maryse came on this season, so that was cool. It has been good."

I think when he got home, Nancy and his son were already dead. To me, if a hit, a murder, is done in a professional way, they can make it look like you did it and you committed suicide as well."
