Professional wrestling career

A former WWE Diva Search contestant, Weber became a villainous diva for WWE's SmackDown! brand, with a gimmick as John "Bradshaw" Layfield's image consultant in The Cabinet.[6] During her time in The Cabinet, she feuded with Joy Giovanni, who she defeated by forfeit in her only match. She resigned from WWE in February 2005 because of her allegations of harassment from some of the wrestlers.[6] She later stated that she "wasn't happy with the pay" and the "frat house-like" environment.[1] To explain her departure, JBL stated she had been "fired" for accidentally firing a sleeping dart at him the previous week while he was playing with an inflatable dinosaur. The dart was actually intended for JBL's No Way Out 2005 opponent, Big Show.[7]
