He Said, She Said
Jay claimed that Ashley threw a fire extinguisher through his window, hitting his friend in the head. Though she didn’t deny throwing the fire extinguisher, she seemed to side-step the claim that she’d broken in.

Grey Area
“It’s technically my house too,” she told In Touch in an exclusive statement. “We’re married, so if I have to break a window to get my and my family’s personal belongings, then I will.”

Back and Forth
In response, Ashley accused Jay of attempting to set her up for a conflict. “He told me to come there with a house full of girls to get the belongings. Then, when I got there, he refused to let me in and was screaming profanities at me through the door.”

Doing Better
In March 2019, Ashley shared that her health was improving, and it seemed that she managed to avoid the hospital for a while after that. “My health is improving each day and I’m finally able to start living normally again,” she said at the time.

Making Strides
“With this procedure, it should keep me out of the hospital for a long time,” she continued, referencing surgery she underwent earlier in the year that aimed to help her get her health back under control.

Set Backs
It’s scary to see Ashley back in the hospital, especially now that she doesn’t have someone to sit by her side and hold her hand, but we’re sure her family and friends are stepping up to the plate during this trying time.
