Surprises or Spoilers

What’s Best

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!
