Ashley Martson: Oh God, Is She REALLY Back With Jay Smith?

As soon as the news broke that Jay Smith and Kayle O’Brien broke up , fans wondered if he might try to get back with Ashley. He had a much better life with her than she had with him. And the rumors sounded plausible after they showed up at the same event. Now, Ashley is telling 90 Day Fiance fans exactly what’s really going on, and why she and Jay were “together.” Over the weekend — around the same time as Jay’s split with his mistress-turned-girlfriend Kayla — Jay and Ashley appeared at the same venue. That’s odd for exes, especially bitter ones. In fact, it may have been a violation of Ashley’s protective order that is supposed to keep Jay at bay. “Was it weird being at the same event with Jay?” one of her devoted followers asked on Instagram. “It’s expected we both filmed the same show,” Ashley replied, expressing a cavalier attitude. Ashley continued: “I just do my thing and handle my business.” “Why are you and Jay acting like you didn’t hang out last night?” another, more confrontational and accusatory, follower asked. “Where did you see me to know how I’m ‘acting’ about last nights appearance,” Ashley clapped back. “I have not responded about what I did or didn’t do at the event,” she clarified. Ashley continued: “Please don’t state I’m acting some type of way.” “…stop creating stories in your head!” she concluded. That’s very good advice (unless you’re a writer). The venue in question, by the way, was an OK Magazine party. Honestly, the magazine should have known better than to invite both exes. Fine normally, not fine when there’s a domestic violence prevention order. Another guest was Bachelor in Paradise ‘s Christian Estrada, who is notably rumored to be dating Ashley. The most exciting guest of the night was probably Tyler Cameron — who did not have Gigi Hadid with him. (We don’t think that this means that their relationship is in trouble so much as that Gigi has no need to attend an OK Magazine party) We’re sure that it was a large enough crowd that Ashley and Jay could avoid rubbing elbows. Early this summer, Ashley went on a much-needed family vacation. After months of stress, it was the perfect getaway. Unfortunately, during her absence, Jay allegedly broke into her home — months after separation — and took things. Given what Ashley says is a documented history of abuse during their relationship, police advised her to get a PFA. On July 1, Ashley obtained that Protection From Abuse order from the court and Jay was barred from approaching her or discussing the order. Unfortunately, just one day later, he broke the PFA, publicly discussing the order. Police saw it on Instagram. Jay was at least wise enough to voluntarily surrender instead of forcing police to arrest him. Because he is not a legal resident, Jay was placed in ICE custody. He spent the majority of July behind bars and was miserable. (As abhorrent as ICE’s recent crimes against humanity may be, it’s not easy to sympathize with a dude who deliberately broke a restraining order) However, his boss at the tattoo shop wrote up a check and paid his bail once the court actually set bail for him. Jay was free. Honestly, after all of that, you would think that Jay would be more careful about the PFA order. Ashley probably could have made Jay’s life miserable this weekend, but clearly opted to do otherwise. Jay’s recent ex, Kayla, seems to think that Ashley is capricious and wants to lure Jay close to her so that she can call the police. Of course, she has that impression of Ashley because her knowledge of Jay’s ex-wife all comes through Jay. Consider the source, folks.

90 Day Fiance Divorce: Ashley Filed Just Days Before Hospitalization

Just two days before Ashley Martson was found unresponsive at home and hospitalized , she filed for divorce from Jay Smith. The 90 Day Fiance couple had stayed together despite Jay’s cheating, but apparently not forever. Curiously, Ashley was not the only Season 6 star who filed for divorce on that exact same date. Late Wednesday morning, blogger John Yates shared  The court document from Cumberland County, Pennsylvania  The plaintiff is Ashley E Smith — Ashley Martson’s married name. The defendant is Conroy St. Christopher Smith — whom 90 Day Fiance all know as Jay. What is really interesting about this divorce filing is the date. This was filed on January the 11, 2019. Two things are significant about that date. As we previously reported, Ashley was hospitalized on January 13 — just two days later. She was found unresponsive at her home. During her battle with lupus, she had gone into kidney failure. Some can say that it’s fate or that she collapsed from a broken heart, but … again, she collapsed from kidney failure. There’s nothing romantic about lupus. The other interesting thing about the January 11 date is that she wasn’t the only 90 Day Fiance star to file for divorce on that date. Mere hours after Larissa Dos Santos Lima’s latest arrest, Colt Johnson filed for divorce . That would have also been on January 11. This followed an incident in which both Colt and Larissa accuse the other of domestic battery (there are a lot of disputed facts). In contrast, Ashley is believed to have filed for divorce because Jay downloaded Tinder and cheated on her just days after their wedding. That’s bad, but it’s not the same as Larissa’s scary bloody cry for help . Is this a huge coincidence? Maybe. But it has been reported that Ashley and Jay are operating under a non-disclosure agreement. Why? Because they are appearing on 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? (Yes, the question mark in the title of that spin-off absolutely belongs there) Do you know who else was filming Happily Ever After? Larissa and Colt, as Larissa revealed more than once as she wailed on social media about Colt’s cheating. We wonder which dates exactly were covered by their Happily Ever After? contracts. Did Ashley and Colt have to wait before filing for divorce until that date in order to meet their contractual obligations? (If so, that would really feed into conspiracy theories, some voiced by Larissa herself, that Colt planned their horrifying fight in advance) Alternatively, did Ashley see that Colt had filed for divorce and just decide “f–k it, if they’re filing, I’m filing too.” Nobody wants to be the first to divorce, we suppose. Or, again, it could all be a coincidence. There is a chance that we will never see an explanation for the curious timing of divorce filings. That said, Ashley’s focus right now is probably on her health battle and of course on her children. Lupus is a serious and brutal illness that is treatable for some, but may claim the lives of others. Thanks to some generous 90 Day Fiance fans, Ashley was able to afford her surgery . We wish her happiness and health as she recovers from this frightening medical ordeal. We definitely prefer reality TV drama over real-life medical emergencies, thank you very much.

Ashley Martson Returns Home After Kidney Failure, Sends Message to Fans

Ashley Martson is back at home after a very serious health scare. As previously reported, the 90 Day Fiance star was found unresponsive at her home a week ago, prompting an emergency hospital visit due to her kidneys failing. This was a result of Martson having been diagnosed with Lupus, an auto-immune disease that can damage various parts of the body. (Selena Gomez, for example, also suffers from Lupus and actually underwent a kidney transplant in 2017 as a result.) On Saturday, however, Martson provided fans with an update on her condition, confirming she was resting comfortably at home and thanking anyone who donated to her GoFundMe campaign. (As of this writing, the campaign, meant to cover Ashley’s “unexpected medical costs and loss of income,” had raised $3,860.) “I am so thankful for your help and kind hearts,” the reality star wrote on Instagram over the weekend, continuing as follows: “You guys are truly a blessing and I will forever be grateful for each of you. All the cards and care packages sent made me smile and tear up at the same time. “Sometimes I loose [sic] faith in humanity but you all reminded me that there still is kind and compassionate people in this world. “Thank you again from the Bottom of my heart.” Concluded Martson in this message: I will continue to be open about my battle with lupus and if you don’t like it or feel I’m seeking attention then kindly unfollow. This disease is horrible and I want everyone that is going through it to know they’re not alone. Martson, who previously was in the news because her husband admitted to cheating on her as soon as the couple got married, originally broke the news of her hospitalization via a photo of herself in very bad shape. She was open and honest at the time by writing: I’m sorry if this photo offends anyone but I will not hide that I’m sick. If I can help one person with lupus then posting this is worth it. I was found unresponsive this morning at my home. The Ambulance took me to the hospital where it was found that I am in acute kidney failure due to lupus. I will begin dialysis shortly. I will not let this beat me. I know I’m strong enough to battle through this,not just for myself but for my kids. I will be transferred to another hospital this evening that is better equipped. Please pray for myself and my family as I know it’s going to be a very tough road ahead for all of us. Thank you for your continuous support and prayers Despite her recent operation, though, the TLC personality is determined to live her regular life again. “Finding the strength to get out of bed and get to my daughters game is rough,” she wrote on Instagram Stories on Sunday, January 20. “I will not miss her game no matter what!” Will Martson need to undergo a kidney transplant at some point? It’s possible. For now, she simply went through dialysis in the hopes this procedure would help the kidneys repair themselves. Jay Smith, who has definitely been disloyal to his wife and who appears to suck in most aspects of life, did rush to be by her side in the hospital, however. He also publicized this effort. “I may have hurt you. I may have not been a good husband. Jumping on a plane the second I found out you was in the hospital was something I didn’t even think twice to do,” Smth wrote on social media last week, adding: “We have our differences but as long as I have life I will never let you sit alone and suffer. I love you and nothing will ever change that. Thank you for having me here to support you.” We wish Ashley Martson the best. View Slideshow: 90 Day Fiance: Most Shocking Scandals Exposed!

90 Day Fiance Star Ashley Was Kidnapped at 19

Ashley and Jay are one of this season’s new 90 Day Fiance couples , and so far they’ve been fun to watch. Unfortunately, Ashley’s life has known real pain and real horror, as she took to social media to reveal. When she was 19 years old, Ashley was kidnapped by a stranger. Ashley Martson took to Instagram to share an important, personal story with her followers. “As most of you know,” Ashley writes. “An old friend decided to send the tabloids a very personal story about me.” “Yes,” Ashley continues. “When I was 19 I was kidnapped, raped, and almost killed by a stranger.” That is absolutely horrific. “Many outlets were reaching out to me for comment,” Ashley shares. “I reached out to @johnyates327 who was also sent the story,” Ashley says. “And asked him to leak it first” Ashley says that she knew that the report would come out anywya. She then writes that she asked for it to be leaked “because I wasn’t sure how the other tabloids would portray me.” That is a very fair concern. “I knew he would post it with the with dignity and respect,” Ashley says. “With the understanding that this is a very sensitive subject.” “People are disgusting,” Ashley says. True. “Sending this story to tabloids shows how s–tty people really are,” Ashley expresses. “Everyone take it easy on @johnyates327,” she asks. “He has my permission.” Ashley is known now for her sweet (if dramatic) romance with Jay. We can understand her nervousness about fans reading up on her backstory. Her case involves some truly horrific details. In 2005, when she was 19, she was on her way to her job when a man, Sean Patrick Gallagher, tried to rob her. He pressed a box cutter to her throat. When she told him that she did not have any money, he forced her into the back of her own car and bound her hands with zip ties. He then drove her car to a small athletic field where he terrorized and sexually assaulted her. Police testified at Gallagher’s trial that he had bound her hands so tightly that they turned blue. He never let her go — she had to escape. Though Ashley was only 19 at the time, she mustered the incredible courage to fight back. She struck him with her bag and used her own teeth to chew through the zip ties that bound her. Gallagher was identified by DNA evidence. It took the jury only 90 minutes to hand down the conviction. Ashley was right to be nervous about how she would be portrayed and how she would be perceived. Unfortunately, even after the dawn of #MeToo, too many women are second-guessed or even blamed after surviving harrowing attacks. And now that Ashley has seen ugly responses from fans and viewers, she has to be on her guard about any stories about her. (It wasn’t so long ago that a fan tried to portray her fiance, Jay, as some sort of sexual predator, using clearly fake texts to make it look like he’d flirted with a 16-year-old) The world can be so unkind, even to people who have been through unspeakable experiences.
