What’s the Truth?

First, a little backstory. Ashley, 31, admitted on her Instagram Story in April that she isn’t always truthful about what’s going on with her life and with the show.

Clapping Back

A fan asked Ashley, “Why do you lie?” and she responded, “‘Cause I get paid to. Y’all are out here doing it for free.” Quite the clap back!

Surprises or Spoilers

She added, “Either I tell the truth and I’m a terrible person for spoiling the show, or I lie so you have some sort of surprise when the show airs.”

What’s Best

Kalani added, “We do what we think is best at the time, and sometimes it blows up in our faces.” That’s got to be tough to deal with, in addition to both of these women juggling kids and trying to make their marriages work.

You Don’t Know Her

Kalani went on to implore fans, “I know what’s going on with Ashley and it’s heartbreaking. Please remember that you’ve watched her for a few hours on TV, but you do not know her nor do you know her relationship.”

Selfless

The reality star added, “She’s an excellent mother. She’s a selfless wife who has thrown herself under the bus multiple times to protect her relationship.” She may be referring to all the back and forth stories about the status of Ashley and Jay Smith’s marriage and life together.

A Reminder

Kalani then reminded fans that Ashley is, like everyone else, “A human being with feelings.”

Think First, Type Second

She continued, “Please think before you type. Being kind is simple and makes everyone feel nice, especially when someone is down.” Since Ashley might be going through a breakup with Jay, 20, there’s a good chance she is indeed feeling “down” at the moment.

Let it Out

Kalani then added, “Writing evil comments for internet likes makes you a magnet for bad karma and just a flat out asshole.” Tell us how you really feel, girl!
