TAMMY Sytch is facing up to 25 years in prison following her involvement in a deadly car crash, but a ludicrous career once saw her as one of the most idolised women within WWE.<\/p>\n
Sunny, as she was commonly known, gained mainstream fame after bursting onto the wrestling scene in the late 1990s.<\/p>\n

A change of career to the porn industry then grew her popularity even further, as WWE fans and the majority of men swooned over her looks and glamour.<\/p>\n
Sytch has previously claimed that in 1997, Playboy had approached her and offered a staggering six-figure sum to pose nude for the adult magazine.<\/p>\n
The claims were later disputed by Rena Mero, another former pro-WWE wrestler.<\/p>\n
From 2001 to 2003, Sytch regularly posed nude for Missy Hyatt's website Wrestling Vixxxens as she dabbled in the world of adult entertainment.<\/p>\n
She took a lengthy break from the world of nude modelling but returned back onto the scene in 2016 when she appeared in a pornographic film.<\/p>\n She signed a deal to star in the adult film for Vivid Entertainment, although it caused plenty of controversy with WWE as she wore her Hall of Fame ring during the movie.<\/p>\n But years of trouble and crime would follow and now the once-loved diva is facing a 25-year jail sentence after pleading guilty to killing a pensioner in a car smash in Florida last year.<\/p>\n Sytch crashed into the back of Julian Lasseter's car, killing the 75-year-old male driver.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The 50-year-old had a blood alcohol content of .280, which is three-and-a-half times the legal limit of .08 set by Florida law.<\/p>\n She had also been driving without a valid license.<\/p>\n The WWE star\u00a0initially denied any fault and pleaded no contest to her charges.<\/p>\n These charges include DUI Manslaughter, causing death while operating a vehicle with a revoked license, four counts of DUI causing injury, and three counts of DUI causing property damage.<\/p>\n DUI Manslaughter is a third-degree felony, which carries a prison sentence of up to 15 years in Florida, and has four years minimum jail time attached.<\/p>\n And it is a scenario that nobody, not even herself, thought she'd ever be in after breaking into the WWE scene in late 1994.<\/p>\n Sytch originally started out as a commentator for "Live Event News" segments during syndicated WWF (later WWE) television shows, under the name Tamara Murphy.<\/p>\n However, she soon became better known as Sunny, in which she hosted her own show and took on the role of ring announcer.<\/p>\n But it is her time as a professional wrestling manager and valet alongside her long-term boyfriend and former pro wrestler, Chris Candido, that she is most notable for.<\/p>\n Sytch turned into one of the most popular figures in WWE and is officially considered the company's first Diva.<\/p>\n And in 2011, she was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n Despite Chris's death in 2005, as a result of pneumonia brought on by surgery on his leg, Sytch remained active until 2018.<\/p>\n In October of that year, she claimed that she would be retiring to a private life.<\/p>\n That would lead Sytch to pick up from where she left off in the adult entertainment scene.<\/p>\n She found a new way to make money through the adult website Only Fans and offers webcam sessions on Skype, although her recent scandals and impending sentence have ultimately put this on hold.<\/p>\n Her spate of criminal charges began in 2012 when she was still very much part of the wrestling scene.<\/p>\n That included five arrests within a crazy four-week period that year, where she was handcuffed for disorderly conduct, third-degree burglary, and three counts of violating a protective order.<\/p>\n Over the past 11 years, Sytch has had numerous arrests and incarcerations for driving under the influence.<\/p>\n But there have also been spells of imprisonment for a number of other crimes.<\/p>\n In more recent times, Sytch was arrested for threatening to kill her partner with a pair of scissors.<\/p>\n Then there was the time she was accused of making "terror threats" in January 2022.<\/p>\n Before that, she was charged with eluding a police officer, two counts of contempt or violating a domestic violence restraining order, and \u201coperating motor vehicle during second license suspension."<\/p>\n The list goes on.<\/p>\n However, it was the fatal car crash in Florida last year that looks to be the final nail in the coffin for the former professional wrestler.<\/p>\n After a blood test was taken to determine her alcohol levels, THC was also detected, indicating she had been using marijuana sometime before the crash.<\/p>\n But Sytch was initially released from prison in May 2022 after posting a \u00a3183,878 bond.<\/p>\n However, a judge then deemed her to be a danger to the community and revoked her bond six days later.<\/p>\n She was then held without bond on pre-trial detention at the Volusia County Branch Jail.<\/p>\n At court in August, Sytch was asked a number of routine questions as part of the plea hearing by the judge.<\/p>\n In response to one of them, Sytch said she had been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, borderline personality disorder, and bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n She claimed she was taking Prozac, an antidepressant, as part of her medication.<\/p>\n Along with DUI causing death, Sytch was charged\u00a0with one count of driving with a suspended revoked license causing death\/serious injury.<\/p>\n There were also four counts of DUI with "damage to person," and two counts of DUI with damage to property.<\/p>\n According to sentencing guidelines, the lowest prison sentence for Sytch will be ten-and-a-half years.<\/p>\n And with that, it is likely to spell the end of any revival there could have been for Sytch and her career.<\/p>\n<\/picture>RON OF A KIND <\/span><\/p>\n
