Dunno what’s wrong with me but I’m actually feeling sorry for her.
She’s nearly 37 in an industry that doesn’t like women ageing.
The peak of her career was appearing on Big Brother six years ago and that still didn’t kick her career off. Her face is unrecognisable from that time.
Now she is on TV twice a month for 15 mins and apparently doesn’t even get paid for it.
She has nothing to fall back on - she hasn’t even married, let alone married rich like some influencers.
All she has is the kids, who will lose the cute factor in a couple of years and pushback is coming against those who use their kids in this way too.
Imagine a 50 year old Ashley with a 16 and 14 year old, still with her little showreel and talking about how she has never used plastic surgery, despite being on her twelfth face.
She's chosen it all.
She's bright enough to have held a decent job in PR or something where she could still access the celeb world but she was fame hungry and wanted to be in front of the camera.
She could have done a degree in journalism or media and been employable but she followed a man to uni then did short courses in presenting, DJing and 'life coaching'; she chose to use her body over her brain. Everyone knows that doesn't work long term but she chose it when she still thought she'd marry rich imo. She claims she's not made it big, not because she's not that interesting, but that she's been kept down by the patriarchy, ignoring that her appeal to men and willingness to get her kit off was her only selling point.
Now she's trying to fight the deadline by screaming 'it's not fair' about society and aging, putting fillers in her face, dressing 'trendy', eschewing anything she considers 'mumsy'.... Again, still using her looks, rather than re calculating and using her brain to become educated on a particular area to give herself a chance of longevity.
She isn't employed by TM for her unique and insightful views, she's employed because she says what's popular and looks nice doing it, evidenced by her 'chose my outfit for TM' reels & second slot as a model last week.
Reinvent or perish. I see no real effort at reinvention, if anything shes trying to claw back to her past.
