The woman portraying Claire Lynch—purportedly pregnant with AJ Styles' child—on Impact Wrestling is Julia Reilly, an Orlando-based actress and model. After her identity was exposed last week by Live Audio Wrestling and across wrestling message boards, Reilly made a concerted effort to erase her Internet presence.

Her official website, JuliaReilly.net, had featured her lengthy resume of television commercial appearances, as well as photos and videos, but all content was removed following the outing. She also has a YouTube channel featuring her demo videos, such as herself selling RoboMops on the Home Shopping Network, hosting various cooking shows and appearing in a Subway commercial, but all have been made private. Her page on LinkedIn was also deleted.

Reilly's description of herself on her official website had stated, "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."

As reported earlier this week, the woman portraying Claire Lynch—purportedly pregnant with AJ Styles' child—on Impact Wrestling is Julia Reilly, an Orlando, Florida-based actress and model. She is 36-years-old and has 15 years of acting experience. TNA Wrestling held an audition a few months ago for the role and she was chosen because she resides in Orlando, where Impact is taped, which saves them money on airfare.

WrestlingNewsWorld.com says they were informed that Reilly also works at Universal Studios Orlando—where Impact is taped—as Olive Oyl by the theme park's "Popeye" ride. It is something Reilly has tried to conceal—she did not list it in her resume, which she deleted last week after her identity was revealed online.

Apparently some people thought she was SHIMMER's Nicole Matthews (while their faces look similar they sound nothing alike)

Others thought that she porn star Kimberly Kole

I never thought she was Nicole, they only look similar if Nicole went on meth for a year. So she wasn't the best option she was just a matter of being the closest person.

Nor did I, though I do know people on several other forums that insisted it was Nichole despite the proof that it wasn't.

I'm more surprised by the fact that she supposedly has 15 years of acting experience. It must be from doing pornos because she is the most cringe worthy actress to star in anything ever in the history of everything. And her voice is so offensively bad it makes Vickie's excuse me shriek sound like a soothing lullaby, she has no place as an on-screen character in my opinion. The sooner she's sent back to the kitchen, the better!

I have this theory that the actress is doing a horrible job on purpose simply because the story is that she's faking the pregnancy. Pure speculation because it hasn't been revealed whether AJ is the father or not, but I think that's where it is heading. In real life people tend to do a bad acting job when they're lying about something so major.

I feel ashamed that a horrendous actress like this would be compared to a great talent like Nicole Matthews

Maybe TNA should have used her real name, or put her fake name/real name into the storyline. That is, if they don't actually end it this Thursday. They might get to do more with it. Perhaps even making her the one behing Aces & Eights to get at AJ Styles and Dixie Carter. Just saying.
