Ashys mum is as horrid as Ashy from what I can tell. I was a close follower around 2015/2016 and saw hideaway come to fruition. The mother originally brought the soaps from a lady online and repackaged them as her own, the Dic*k soap was the basis of her business then she went into the whipped soaps. It was very amature at the start. The original supplier posted on the call out pages to out the mother saying she stole her products/concept and on sold them as her own ect.
The group did a deep dive into the business and worked it was set up as a non for profit business not paying GST. Upon calling this out they quickly updated their website to include a sailing club on Hamilton Island as the charity after the hurricane damage. Which Ashys mums boyfriend happend to have some involvement with.
From what I remember Ashy and her mum do have a strained relationship, ashy has mentioned her mums boyfriends being abusive in the past and having to work at a fashion store like supre at 15 and move out at 16... Incomes creepy Steve when Ashy was a young adult to save Ashy from a life of retail and turn her into a bikini body babe
