After her time starring on Southern Charm and living in Charleston, S.C., Ashley moved back to her native California in February 2019. "Thanks for the life lessons South Carolina but I'm goin' back to my roots!" she wrote on Instagram at the time. "#CaliforniaGirl."

The following January, Ashley told Us Weekly she didn’t "see the light at the end of the tunnel" amid her breakup with Thomas, whom she dated from 2017 to 2018. "I didn't know how I was going to get out of it and be honest with you, it just kept stacking up higher and higher to where I just felt like it's almost impossible. You know, like, 'I'm never going to get out of this,'" she added, pointing to her weight loss as a symptom of her stress.

She went on: "I remember feeling at times just hopeless, you know, and just disappointed and ashamed of things I did and the way that it was portrayed to millions, really. It's one thing if it's on you, your family, and your friends, but, like, for everyone else to see it…"

Though Ashley briefly appeared on the Season 6 finale by attempting to crash a party hosted by Patricia Altschul, she's since put her reality TV days behind her.
