90 Day Fiance stars Ashley Martson and Jay Smith have been through so much. Now, they're in the center of a huge scandal that's earning them scorn from fans, friends, and castmates alike. And they have no one to blame but themselves. Jay made a simple mistake with his phone, and we're not referring to his cheating scandal from last year. His error revealed that he and Ashley were the architects behind some alleged “leaks” of their personal photos. Even other 90 Day Fiance stars are shocked and are saying that they'll no longer have anything to do with them. Wow. 1.

She took it back, though Just days after making headlines for the divorce filing, and just eight days after filing for divorce, Ashley withdrew her request for divorce. For better or for worse, she wanted to work things out with Jay. 5.
