Chapter 1: What led Ashley to speak out about her divorce?
Okay, welcome back to What's the Reality? I have a really, really special guest with me today. My love is blind sister, Ashley. We all know she's had quite the journey and she's finally here opening up for the very first time about her truth versus the lies. So I'm happy to have you. Welcome. Thank you. How are you? I'm good.
Looking good.
Thank you. I mean, looking great, should I say? Yeah. So, I mean, okay, I'm going to be completely honest with you. My listeners have not stopped begging. When I say begging, I mean begging to have you on this podcast because we're Because what the fuck? No, like everybody's just, we want to know what's going on. I want to know what's going on.
And like, to be like completely honest and transparent, we have not spoke at all. I mean, obviously some well-wished texts back and forth, but this is the first time I'm sitting face to face with you since reunion. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
Catch me up on you. Yeah. On everything that you've been up to since I last saw you.
So, well, you know, filing for divorce now. Sorry to hear that. Yeah, same. But in the same breath, it's a good thing I've been counting the days. Yeah, I think like... The last few months, it's just been a lot of healing, a lot of healing, a lot of emotional fluctuations.
You know, I would love to say it's been sunshine and rainbows because I think sometimes when we know we're doing the right thing, you think it should be easy. It doesn't make it any easier. And so, yeah, I've just been healing, but also like I'm getting to this stage where I'm reaching the six month mark of this divorce.
And I've been kind of taking back the power of the word divorce because anyone who knows me knows it's something I never wanted to do.

Chapter 2: How is Ashley coping with her divorce?
And so what I'll say is on this topic of the baby mama drama, what I found were a series of Google meets chats between him and her over the years. And yeah, What I will say is they both created such a messy, messy, messy, messy, messy situation by their actions and how they went about things from beginning to end. And so there is major complexity around how those children were conceived.
Did she know he was going on the show?
Yes, she did. Okay. She knew he was going on the show. To my knowledge, he told me so many things. He told me that, you know, he hadn't seen her or them in years, like one or two years, I think he said. But in all actuality, he had seen her and the kids the day before he left. So I had no idea about that at all from the start. So this man lied about more than one thing.
Is he a sperm donor or no? No.
He is a sperm donor for the son. To my knowledge, he bothered the twins. Okay. To my knowledge. Like, based on facts that you saw in... It's difficult to say because...
I'm gonna be so real with you right now. Kinda how we started this interview and how loud and bold you were. And I'm not saying let's dismantle him, but you deserve this platform to speak your truth and make it all make sense. And I wanna give you that space to say what needs to be said. And I don't want you to feel like you have to feel muted or the world is gonna attack you.
You've made it through worse. But I do want you to know that this is a space where, okay, this is Ashley's fucking turn. This is your turn. You've protected him enough. He didn't protect you. And I'm not saying let's dog him out. But what is the truth to your comfort level so that we can just get an understanding of why, one, where all this stuff came from, why he lied, why you stayed.
I just want to be able to piece it together so that you have some peace.
So it was crazy because according to them both, they had never slept together originally before she came out with that five-part series, which is when it began to unravel that I was like, wait, I thought you were the homie. Like, you know, I didn't even think this was possible.

Chapter 3: What are the challenges of transitioning from married to single life?
I think that I could speak to it the most. Come on. Right. Come on. So they're like, oh, you don't get to, you know, you stood by Debbie and did.
Yeah.
Damn.
That's on me. Yeah.
I got to hold that. Yeah. Not you. Right. I have to do the forgiveness from the inside. Right. You know what I mean? And I know that. But I think that, again, if the people for the ones who really are like, girl, we like We were just so disappointed in you. Cool. But you really don't know me. You know, you guys think you do because you watch the show. You don't know me.
I've made great decisions for 32 years before that show had aired. You know what I mean? But they don't know that. And so they crucify me for a blip in time. And I think that the biggest thing is because I was so loud and so bold when I was speaking on behalf. But that's the way I love. I can't help it.
like that for me was like really sad because I just know as women and as black women and this is something that I have just said on repeat and repeat and repeat on this couch but like the way we protect these men and it's just like the like I can see it in my head you just like some of the things that you were saying like some y'all never been married and it shows like
you want to protect yourself. You want to protect your man. And he just got quieter and quivered in the corner.
And so even, I'm glad you said that because even in that statement, they were like, Oh, look who's single now. Like you said, some of us haven't been married in his shows, but it's like, go back to that, that, that interview. When I said that, what I meant by that was, was some of y'all haven't been married and it shows because you're expecting me to just up and bounce immediately.

Chapter 6: What was the impact of social media on Ashley's healing process?
I'm trying to go to London. Oh, really?
To live.
Yeah. Is that an exclusive? No, we're going to stay here for a little bit and then eventually make our way to London. Nice. From Charlotte to LA. Yeah. But this has been such a blessing having you here. And I do want to just thank you because I know this is not easy.
Like we laugh and we kiki a bit, but this is real, a real divorce, a real relationship, real feelings, real people involved, real children involved, your real life involved. And I just want to thank you for like, One, feeling comfortable enough to share that with me. I feel really honored. And two, that you're opening up and giving your story and telling people this is my reality.
This is my truth. So I'm really grateful for you. And I wish nothing but healing and blessings and opportunities for you because you deserve it.
Thank you. And, you know, I thought to myself, too, I was like when I went on the show, I thought that my reason for being on the show was to show people that we're not a monolith and that we can be anything and that we're multifaceted.
But now I think that my purpose for going on the show, even through all of the heartbreak and heartache, was to show women how to be resilient and how to how to rise up, you know, and how to still remain classy while doing it.
And life goes on.
And also, like, no matter what anybody says, you know, I got out and some people don't get out. Some people stay for 20 plus years. And so I think there's power in that. And for anyone going through any scenario that's that's watching this, if that could help one person, just saying that you have the power within yourself to choose you, then.
