In a stunning twist that truly no one saw coming, 90 Day Fiance star Jay Smith was released from ICE custody this week. His bailout came as a major surprise for several reasons, but a lot of fans want to hear from him. How does Jay feel about his incarceration? What are his plans now? Will he just wait for deportation or is he going to fight for legal residency? Here is what Jay has to say in his first statement since his release: 1. Jay did not have a fun July He spent almost the entire month behind bars. Now, for the first time, he is breaking his silence. 2. Ashley took out a protection order On July 1, she obtained a Protection From Abuse order. Jay had allegedly broken into her home, and Ashley apparently had evidence of alleged abuse during their marriage (awful stuff). The goal of the PFA was to keep Jay away. 3. Jay promptly broke the rules As you can see in his fateful Instagram Story, Jay discussed the PFA … which he’s not allowed to do. This was a violation, and so the police contacted him and told him that he would be arrested. 4. Jay did the smart thing, here He voluntarily turned himself in to authorities, and even implied as much on Instagram — even if most followers didn’t yet know what was going on. 5. Jay followed through and was arrested Because he is not an American citizen (or even, it is believed, a legal resident), Jay was then placed in ICE custody. 6. Even Ashley was devastated This is not how she wanted this to end. Yes, Jay had cheated on her — and allegedly done much worse — but the part of her that still loves him hated the idea of him spending weeks at a time in a cell. View Slideshow
