Ashlee White, a star on Bravo’s short-lived reality show “Princesses: Long Island,” may still love her stilettos and nights out in the Hamptons, but suffering three strokes led her to discover an unexpected new passion.

“I found something deep inside me to figure out my true happiness, which happens to be WWE wrestling,” White told Page Six. “[It’s] a shock to most people, but I got into it because when I watch WWE there’s no sickness.”

The 34-year-old suffers from lupus, which triggered her strokes, the last one happening after the series’ run in 2013. The show followed the luxe lives (and drama) of six women on Long Island who lived with their parents.

White’s multiple health scares — her third stroke left her temporarily unable to walk — prompted her to become a yogi and dedicate her life to raising funds and awareness for heart conditions. Being a WWE superfan is another outlet for the Long Island native, whose height doesn’t clear five feet.

“I sit front row, I get all dressed up in my gear and cheer like no one is watching — or everyone is watching,” she said. “I interact with all of them, they come up over to me and hug me and people are like, ‘Who is that girl?'”

The organization has caught wind of White’s enthusiasm. She was even asked to host a festival for action figure company Ringside Collectibles.

So it comes as no surprise that White will be launching a podcast all about her love for WWE at the end of June.

Although the podcast — appropriately named “Running in Heels with Ashlee White” — will be centered around all things WWE, White will be diving into the lives of wrestlers outside the ring so listeners don’t need to be a “die-hard” fan like she is.

“I want to know everything,” she told us. “Coming off me having daily struggles with my health, I want to know what motivates them how do they keep in shape and keep their mind healthy [and] their body healthy.”

Since her fandom began, White has become friends with many of the wrestlers and will have them as guests on her show.

White’s health scares have also launched her into the world of philanthropy, working with the American Heart Association since 2013 and serving as a committee member of special events like the Long Island Heart and Stroke Ball and the Hamptons Heart Ball.

“It’s a great place because everyone has a story, everyone has a passion about this and they’re doing everything to fight for supportive, life-saving research,” she said.

When White isn’t in on the charity circuit, she’s soaking up the fun that her hometown has to offer, from Hamptons nightlife to swimming and lounging on an oversized, pizza-shaped float in her parents’ pool.

“I am afraid of the deep end, but I am so good in the shallow end,” she said. “I’m like [the] Michael Phelps of the shallow end,” she said of her skills, but adds that knows when she needs to rest.

“I listen to my body and when my body says ‘no,’ I lay in bed,” she said. “I’m on a quest to be the best Ashlee I can be.”
