As we mentioned during our 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? recap of Sunday night’s episode, Ashley was still dealing with issues.
Cheating is bad.
A guy cheating on you a couple of days after your wedding is going to have you rethinking your whole entire life.
In the episode, Ashley tells her friends about the fallout, including some details that had never before been made public.
The unsavory secrets spilled out … including the girl’s shockingly young age.
These details are shocking
Ashley Martson has now told the world the frankly gross details of Jay Smith’s (first) cheating scandal. WOW.
Ashley blew off some steam on a girls trip
She and her friends went to New York … and left Jay behind to think about things.
Ashley was still mad
She continued to grapple with the aftermath of Jay’s Tinder cheating scandal. She had caught him video chatting with a girl just DAYS after their wedding.
Jay still weighed on her thoughts
Ashley confessed that she couldn’t help wondering what Jay was up to. “I don’t know if Jay would do something to get back at me for going out with my ex but wouldn’t surprise me,” Ashley admitted. “I don’t think that he would do anything stupid but I guess I didn’t think he would last time either.”
This wasn’t a random outing
Ashley explained that she was trying to get away from the “constant pattern of arguing and bickering and fighting.”
Ashley had real concerns
“I still love him,” Ashley assured her friends. “But I don’t know if Jay and I are going to get past this.” Spoiler alert: they do get past this … and then they walk into new cheating drama.
Ashley dished on the gritty details of Jay’s cheating
“I spoke to the girl and found out she met him on a dating website,” Ashley explained to her friends. “And he was inviting her to my house.”
And it gets worse
This girl whom Jay was inviting to Ashley’s house … was only 18 years old. In fact, she was still in high school at the time
That’s worse than regular cheating, right?
“I was shocked,” Ashley admitted. Sure, the girl is an adult, and yes, as an 18-year-old, she was age-appropriate for Jay. But … yikes.
Ashley was embarrassed by the whole thing
“It definitely made me look like a fool staying with someone that hurt me,” she admitted. Maybe so, but the cheater is always going to look worse.
Ashley doesn’t know how to move forward
“I don’t think I can forgive him,” Ashley admitted. She even confessed to her friends that his every action seemed to get on her nerves, which is not a great sign.
Then there was her other concern
She explained to her friends that Jay’s would-be mistress didn’t really look a thing like her.
That offhanded revelation says a lot
See, Ashley is about 12 years older than Jay. This girl was about 2 years younger than Jay. Ashley was already feeling insecure about how desirable Jay found her after he cheated. Then Ashley sees that he was chatting up a super-young-looking 18-year-old, and she has to wonder if he was ever really that into her in the first place. (Ashley is gorgeous and shouldn’t have to worry, though)
Then Ashley pushed things too far
She actually decided to CALL this girl, who at the time would have probably still been 18.
It could have been worse …
The girl didn’t answer (what normal person answers random phone calls?), so Ashley left a voicemail saying that she’d like to talk. Ashley … don’t do this. You are a grown woman and this girl probably just wants to move on with her life.
Presumably, Ashley moves past this
That would be great news … except that, as we know all too well, Ashley announced back in April that she and Jay were going their separate ways
She accused Jay of cheating again
Not only did she say that he had a mistress for months, but Ashley has stated that America “will be shocked” when they learn what Jay did.
When will we know the whole story?
Well, it’s only been a little over a week since the 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? Season 4 Tell All special was filmed. Hopefully, Ashley spilled the beans on stage. If so, we’ll all know the full story soon enough.
