Can you post some photos of porn star Kimberly Kole just to prove it isn't the same woman :P

Poor girl probably didn't know what she was getting herself into. I do like the description of her on her website:

Julia’s true talent lies in her warm approachable personality and her ability to deliver technical jargon in a conversational manner.

In a live enviroment, Julia is excellent at gathering a crowd and able to connect with customers to successfully deliver your company’s message.

On camera, Julia is friendly, personable and believable.

Finding a SFW picture was not easy!

Woah, she's made her youtube page private now. Maybe comments in her video section alluded to her being 'outed' as Claire Lynch.

Her demo reel is down but her home cooking one is still up. (It's not from her youtube)

Jayk seems Mesmerised by Claire Lynch seemingly. Less her more CD and Kaz.

Before she was Claire Lynch she was Oliver Oly at the Disney park





Lock the thread, close down the forum. This place has peaked.

Hope Jayk isn't a Popeye fan or this is his wildest dreams came true.
What was his rival named Pluto or Brutus was it?

Bluto!

Listened to the Review A Wai podcast yesterday. They believed something was up with Claire - wasn't on IMPACT and was insulted for being ugly. So I askled around Bryan Alvarez just posted:

It appears she is done with the company but I don't know why. I presume the story will be out in the next few days.

Cherry_Cola

I wonder if it has anything to do with her being discovered on youtube etc last week.

I was thinking the same, especially with the way Styles talked about her. Kazarian and Daniels was no big deal as it was a segment where they didn't know the camera was there.

I figured she quit after realising how many people were making fun of her. Or maybe she was keeping the Popeye thing quiet from everyone she knew.

Would be incredibly unprofessional to quit like that though, deserves to have the wrestling community ruin her career if it is the case, really, probably better for her in the long term too.

Should have just used some wrestler, they'd have known what they were getting into at least, probably no worse of an actor and statistically likely to be a more suitable height.

Wow!, seems weird that she would just quit once she was found out.Did she not know what business she was getting into?

That is well fishy. Surely her job as an actress, is to get her name out there?

Someone posted this interesting theory on F4W board:

Re: Claire Lynch I'm speculating it was fear of running afoul of real gigs or union regs.

I bet it was cast intracompany (a posting in the theme park break room) to get it on the cheap. Either her agent caught wind of it, if it was non union someone reported her or she just didn't want to be hassled online/in the park.

The thing about alot wrestling fans is when you see the actor on the street, you presume it's the character and treat them as such. No other actor (except maybe porn, I guess) has that issue. So for a "normal" actor to walk into a position as such a hated heel and then have to adjust life quickly to deal with that....I can see why she'd have maybe walked if she did walk....

CastorTroy

But do you think she was brought in as a heel or did the writers turn her into that after the reaction she got?

At least they had the paternity test stipulation in the match and aren't just dropping the storyline completely. just wrapping it up quicker than planned.

Julia Reilly, who portrays the Claire Lynch character on TNA Wrestling programming, is believed to have parted ways with the wrestling organization. Wrestlers heard that Reilly became alarmed with her identity being revealed online as well as disclosure that she moonlights as the Olive Oyl character in the Popeye ride at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida where iMPACT! Wrestling is filmed. A photo surfaced online of Reilly donning an Olive Oyl costume and posing with Popeye.
Reilly is an Orlando, Florida-based actress who has appeared in infomercials and television commercials. Shortly after her name came out, she went to great lengths to protect her identity online as she removed the contents of her official website and YouTube channel, and deleted her LinkedIn account. Wrestlers were told she had parted ways with the organization, but not given a reason why. Her ongoing storyline with AJ Styles is expected to conclude on Thursday’s episode of iMPACT! Wrestling with a paternity test segment.

CastorTroy

I still don't understand why. Thought actresses acted to get famous and well known. Or was she worried she'd get a lot of people hating her?

GTR63

Claire is behind Aces and 8's I reckon.
How bad would that would that be?

CastorTroy

And the one who's doing all the talking for them is her and AJ's son from the future?
