TNA News: Reason for Claire Lynch’s TNA Departure, Taryn Terrell Joins Roster

– As previously reported, the word is that the Claire Lynch angle is getting cut short and the actress playing Clair, Julie Reilly, has left the company. The rumor backstage is that Reilly freaked out once her identity was discovered online, along with the news that she appears as Olive Oyl on the Popeye ride at Universal Studios in Orlando. A recent photo of Reilly in the Olive Oyl costume was posted online. Reilly took great care to eliminate her online identity including deleting her LinkedIn account and taking down all the information on her YouTube and personal website.

Talent has been told she is gone but they were not told exactly why. The Claire storyline is expected to be finished up via a paternity test this week. [Credit: Wrestling Observer]
