On Saturday, August 19, Ashley Martson announced that she and Jay Smith are done.
Again.
In a lengthy post, she cited the surprising (genuinely) reason that they are ending their relationship for good.
Initially, she purged her social media.
Clearly, she has reconsidered, and has now posted a lengthy post -- addressing her fans, those who have shown her emotional support, and even her haters.
This is a very unusual message coming from Ashley, with a very different tone than what we are accustomed to seeing from her.
She is clearly hurting a lot.
Check out her message below:
1. Oh, Ashley
