Influencer Gia Duddy rocketed to fame two years ago when cameras caught her sat alongside former boyfriend Will Levis during his NFL Draft nightmare.
Duddy went viral among NFL fans for her stunning looks in 2023 when the quarterback plummeted down the board before finally being taken by the Tennessee Titans in the second round.
Despite no longer being with the NFL quarterback, Duddy couldn’t escape this year’s draft drama as fans hounded her to open up on her experience.
Duddy finally caved in a video on TikTok in which she shared some words of wisdom for the incoming NFL girlfriends for draft night.
‘I know I know what tonight is, but do you guys know what tonight is? It’s the Caudalie event, obviously so let’s get ready,’ she joked referencing a brand event she was attending.
‘I’m just messing with you guys, I know it’s the NFL draft, you guys actually won’t let me forget. But I do actually have an event with Caudalie so I do need to get ready. I feel like I’ve never really talked about the draft, and I don’t really like talking about it, just because it just genuinely wasn’t about me.

‘So I just like never felt the need to speak on it, but I do wanna say is congratulations to all the hard-working men that are in this draft class.
‘Genuinely so excited for all of you, I know I have some friends in it this year, and for those who are attending, beware of your resting b***h face. Because the media loves media, and they will start a story that you’re just a b***h. So from one RBF to another, good luck.
‘My friends and I were talking about it this week, though, the fact that was two years ago is literally insane. Because in my opinion, it feels like five years ago… also, while we’re talking about the draft, I need to debunk the ‘Can I pee?’ theory. I was literally just asking, ‘Can that happen?’ Because they were talking about the Titans trading up. I’m telling y’all, the media just loves some drama in the story.’
Duddy set social media alight on the night of the NFL Draft in April when her reaction to her boyfriend falling went viral.
Levis was forced to wait in Kansas City two years ago for a call that never came, as he surprisingly fell out of the first round and the cameras constantly panned to him and his family, including Duddy, to capture his dejected reaction.
Levis was at one point projected to be the second quarterback off the board, but didn’t get to experience the same draft-day moment as his fellow passers Bryce Young, CJ Stroud and Anthony Richardson.
After being the repeated subject of TV cameras during his ill-fated draft night, Levis returned home to watch the rest of the proceedings with his family.
But his misfortune proved profitable for Duddy who went viral after being picked up by the broadcast.

Levis previously revealed that Duddy’s Instagram following had doubled following his draft nightmare.
‘The one positive thing that me and my family took from draft night is just the attention on social media that my sisters and girlfriend got, so that’s good,’ Levis said.
Levis added, ‘Her followers doubled on draft night and I was like “I need a cut of this.”‘
When one of the hosts joked about what NIL deals she’d be signing, Levis remarked that she ‘just signed a Burger King deal’.
‘It’s crazy, seriously, I was like “you’re paying for lunch”,’ Levis joked.
Duddy has 309,000 followers on Instagram and over 500,000 on TikTok – many coming after the draft.
Levis has said at the time that Duddy planned to follow him to Nashville, where she was intending to pursue being an influencer before trying to get into nursing school, after he was taken by the Titans.
However, that plan fell apart as the couple split in September 2023, according to Pardon My Take. They had been together for three years after meeting at college.
