Will Levis Girlfriend Drama Erupts Again—Gia Duddy Breaks Her Silence in Viral TikTok

Gia Duddy was unaware that the camera would repeatedly focus on her face as she sat next to quarterback Will Levis on that memorable April night in 2023. The lens unintentionally framed another narrative as NFL fans watched Levis’ projected first-round dreams come to fruition: his girlfriend’s facial expressions, as they were analyzed in real time on ESPN broadcasts, Reddit, and TikTok. Silent but unmistakably present, her presence came to represent something greater: the emotional stakes surrounding not only the athlete but also those in their immediate vicinity.

Two years after that incident, Duddy’s recent return to TikTok felt remarkably like a postscript to a book no one had anticipated she would write. She recalled her experience, gave a lighthearted warning to other NFL girlfriends about the dangers of “resting bitch face,” and, in a mix of satire and sincerity, changed her role from one of passivity to one of surprising empowerment.

Duddy’s public reflection demonstrated something especially novel for someone who was previously written off as a “draft girlfriend.” She presented her experience as an education rather than a humiliation, which served as a powerful reminder that being visible without speaking frequently leads to misunderstandings.

She made light of a widely circulated theory in her video, claiming that she had mouthed the phrase “Can I pee?” while seated next to Levis. “I literally just asked, ‘Can that happen?'” she explained, alluding to a possible trade-up with the Titans. Strangely enough, the story illustrates how easily a woman’s face can make headlines.

While Duddy was being subtly typecast, Levis was dealing with a public professional setback. Her story is especially interesting because she now criticizes that typecasting while remaining gracious and humorous. In a society where NFL girlfriends like Olivia Culpo and Brittany Mahomes are frequently examined as extensions of their partners’ brands, Duddy’s comeback to the public eye was tinged with self-awareness.

These off-field stories have developed alongside Levis’s playing career, which has been filled with ups and downs. He joined a team that was in transition after being selected by the Tennessee Titans in the second round. He showed promise, even leadership, in spurts. However, he was benched at the end of 2024 after a run of poor performances, especially one in which he committed four turnovers in one half. His breakup with Fuller and Duddy’s unexpected viral comeback quickly overshadowed his performance, as is now typical in today’s sports media cycle.

Victoria Fuller, who gained notoriety for her dramatic character on The Bachelor, contributed her own long-standing relationship with celebrity. Fans were already keeping up with her social media updates and influencer partnerships by the time she was spotted with Levis in July 2024. For a time, their pairing made sense. Both were already well-known in two distinct spheres of pop culture, were attractive, and were adept with technology. However, the relationship quietly ended in April 2025, leaving behind rumors and a noticeable lack of interaction on each other’s feeds.

These entwined tales of connections and reputations reveal a more profound shift within professional sports. Athletes, particularly quarterbacks, are now cultural icons with marketing value in addition to being the center of attention on game days. Wives and girlfriends, or WAGs, have evolved into unintentional celebrities, brand ambassadors, and occasionally scapegoats.

Duddy didn’t merely reflect when she gave guidance to those attending this year’s NFL Draft; she cautioned. “Media loves media,” she joked, adding that they will fill in the blanks if your face doesn’t look right. Her delivery was particularly incisive but never harsh; it was laced with the kind of sardonic wisdom that comes only after being misquoted, misunderstood, and meme’d.

Her TikTok received a telling response. She received praise from some for her self-awareness. She was accused by others of seeking attention. However, almost everyone acknowledged that they did remember her—because of that draft moment. In an odd turn of events, the same celebrity she had previously shunned had now turned into a forum for her free speech.

This storyline is just another one of Levis’s expanding collection of “off-field narratives.” However, it would be unjust—and ultimately foolish—to overlook the very real demands that modern athletes face. The performance now includes their relationship statuses, Instagram grids, and even who sits next to them at award shows. Controlling that element has become almost as important as having a strong arm.

The most striking aspect of this story is how many young women, like Duddy, are now redefining their roles as commentators rather than as trophy or silent supporters. Mahomes is among those who embrace it from a business standpoint. Some, like Duddy, criticize the spectacle without getting resentful by using subtly humorous language. For the upcoming generation of WAGs, fans, and female followers—who no longer merely watch sports—that change is extremely significant because they now interpret it.

The 2025 season is a time of pressure and opportunity for Levis. He has time, if not certainty, on his side and has displayed moments of genius. It will be a new test of his ability to control a locker room and a media narrative. However, he might have gained knowledge from the women by his side as well, such as how to remain composed in the face of criticism, how to find amusement in news reports, and how to maintain concentration when others are making assumptions.
