WWE legend Sunny faces up to 25 years in jail after pleading guilty to killing driver, 75, in Mercedes crash

A WWE legend faces up to 25 years in prison after she pleaded guilty to killing a pensioner in a car-crash.

The former wrestler “Sunny”, whose legal name is Tammy Lynn Sytch, fatally smashed into the back of Julian Lasseter’s car in Florida last year.

At the time, witnesses reported that Sunny had been travelling at high speeds and crashed her Mercedes straight into the back of Julian’s car – who had been stationary at a red light.

Witnesses also said that the impact of the initial collision was so intense that they saw Julian’s car hit a third.

Julian, 75, was rushed to hospital, but tragically passed away soon after.

Toxicology tests done after the collision found that Sunny had a blood alcohol content of .280, which is three-and-a-half times the legal limit of .08 set by Florida law.

She had also been driving without a valid licence.

The WWE star initially denied any fault, but has now pleaded guilty to numerous charges.

These charges include: DUI Manslaughter, causing death while operating a vehicle with a revoked licence, four counts of DUI causing injury, and three counts of DUI causing property damage.

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.

It has also been reported that Sunny also held at least six other DUI arrests prior to this incident – including a charge in New Jersey for driving the wrong way on a one-way street.

This charge, in 2019, was the sixth time she had been arrested for drinking under the influence.

The star was jailed in 2012 for 114 days after being arrested five times in four weeks.

She was even on the run from the police for half a year when her parole was revoked after she failed to answer a court case which involved allegations of drink-driving.

But, Sunny has also been arrested several times in recent years, on other charges.

According to reports, last year she was also “involved in a domestic dispute with a man that could have turned fatal”.

It is alleged she raised a pair of scissors “in the air towards the victim” and threatened to kill him.

Sunny is believed to have been under the influence of drugs or alcohol during the disturbing incident.

She has also been charged with two counts of unlawful possession of a weapon and one count of terrorist threats.

Sunny started her WWE career as a commentator for “Live Event News” segments during syndicated WWE television shows, under the name Tamara Murphy.

She soon became better known as Sunny, came to host her own show and took on the role of ring announcer.

Sunny turned into one of the most popular figures in WWE and is officially considered as the company’s first Diva.

In 2011, she was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.

In October 2018 she claimed that she would be retiring to a private life. Although, it turned out to be not so private.

Her next venture included posing nude for Missy Hyatt’s adult website called “Wrestling Vixxxens”.

She has starred in one adult movie, Sunny Side Up: In Through the Backdoor, and offers webcam sessions on Skype.

More recently, she has also taken posing nude on OnlyFans – although her latest sentence has now put this on hold.
