Remember the time that Shep stuck up for Andy Cohen swearing that he never saw any coke use at the WWHL Clubhouse?
Is this better or worse?
In the meantime, the role of Thomas Ravenel’s love interest seems to be literally killing Ashley. Again, one has to wonder if she has family or friends who can intervene. In my non-professional opinion, she needs to be hospitalized.
Holy eating disorder, what happened to her? 🙁
Partaking a little too much in Thomas’ favorite kind of sugar, perhaps?
She said it was “stress” causing her weight loss..
She acts absolutely bonkers and looks sick. Ok. She seems needy and broken and needs help but its not katherines or Thomas problem thier responsibility lies in thier children who at such a young age have gone through to much in thier lives. THEY don’t need this person around them! !!! Someone else needs to find her family and or friends from CA to come help her. That is all anyone can do for her she’s made her bed so now turn her over to people who know her and like her. You cant sit on the fence she makes all of you look crazy when you engage her and give her another platform. I love this show but found myself very stressed out watching her! SCARY! THE KIDS NEED KEPT AWAY PLEASE!! SHE COULD DAMAGE THEM WORSE THAN ANYONE ELSE AT THIS POINT!!
She needs less Pasta & more pasta.
Hahaha yessss
Now that is funny! ?
It’s not about the pasta…..
Color me confused. Why is Shep making this statement now?
I think Shep is earning some “mail box” money. TRav need some one to have his back and he had plenty of stamps.
A clip for next week shows Shep saying he hates Ashley and people have been saying how awful she must be if even Shep hates her.
I think Ashley’s PR person planned for her to run into Shep this week and get his sympathy broadcast ahead of another episode of the show that develops a view of her nasty side.
We know she claims the show is scripted and she is just saying lines given to her. Some idiots have bought this argument. Unfortunately, we know that, quite apart from the show, she has jumped into the real lives of anyone who has got in the way of her ambitions and greed and she has acted with sustained and vicious cruelty. She has not just attempted to damage Kathryn and make her look bad as she comes up to renegotiate her custody agreement.
Suzanne Otte for instance was NOT on the show and has been cyber bullied for months by Ashley. This was totally deliberate. (see the Daily Mail article referenced by TT in her recent post). This on-going and totally uncalled for bullying speaks to Ashley having a serious a mental health problem.
I am sorry, I see Ashley as a ruthlessly greedy and self seeking woman who definitely does need a wake up call for the damage she has created ( and continued to create) in the lives of others. She is just using Shep now to try to make herself look like her nastiness is miles in the past. But she is still bullying people off camera.
Physically, she is looking terrible. I agree with TT she may need hospitalization for whatever is wrong. Her latest post on Instagram is shockingly revealing of how thin she is now – like a pre-teen girl – even with the breast enhancements.It is really sickening and amazing anyone would think this was a good set of photos to post. Ashley now looks how Thomas may prefer his women – pre-puberty – with head out of proportion to the body. I am shocked a tanning product company would advertise their product using a body like this.
Amen
I think you nailed it! I am trying to sum up sympathy for her but finding it difficult. She is hard to tolorate with all the stupid things she spews
Probably bc she hunted him down like a psycho stalker through insta, whined until T drove her and went down to the bar he was in and thinned like Landon that “No one liked her and she was being bullied”. Shep did not need the buzz kill. Took the pic and sent her on her way. (Allegedly)
Maybe Shep is trying to help her. She clearly is not handling being a Bravo villian, weather that is her real personality or not. She does not look well.
Damn. She looks like a skeleton. What is wrong with him? Now he likes her? It almost looks like she’s holding him hostage so he can make that announcement. I thought she was hated even more now than she was during filming. Yuck. I still hate her.
She looks terrible, I almost feel sorry for her.
Thomas has a way of bringing out the worst in women causing them to self destruct.
Hmmm, I wonder why that’s the case. Could it be that Thomas himself engages in so much self-destructive behavior?
He certainly does. He also seems to delight in turning women against themselves.
And against each other.
Thank you for bringing up the friends/family question; I’ve been wondering if she still has ties to anyone from her former life (whatever that was). I still think Ashley is a horrible person, but she definitely needs help for whatever is causing her increasingly emaciated appearance. From a cynical standpoint, I wonder if Ashley has dirt on Shep, which is why he’s coming out of nowhere to defend her.
She probably shares her drugs.
This is kinda nice of Shep. I don’t watch Southern Charm but I know the Bravo audience needs someone to hate and I guess they’ve latched on to this girl. She looks like she needs some help.
If you did watch, it would make more sense. Her scenes are very uncomfortable to watch, even when she is supposedly on good behavior. It makes you cringe, and then you add in this nastiness when she attacks the others and it’s pretty horrifying. None of it makes sense and her demeanor and affect are disturbing to watch.
I bet she has dirt on him….
What the —-??!! Seriously, what happened to Ashley? She needs help, and I think she needs it immediately.
I want to be generous to Shep and assume that he did this to alert family and friends of the state she’s truly in. But of course, with this being Bravo, there’s a good chance he didn’t do this with the best of intentions.
I think Shep is wealthy enough and takes it all with a grain of salt that he can afford to be a decent person every now and then. We have seen it before.
Shep does try to be kind to everyone but please. Maybe she is looking towards Shep & his money if Thomas goes to the hoosegow.
He is not kind to Craig.
Or women, or the IOP Councilwomen… http://tamaratattles.com/2017/04/28/remember-when-shep-rose-was-not-such-a-twatwaffle/
Agree! Old Shep’s pretend “southern charm” has worn completely off. He tries to capitalize on our “nostalgia” for Charleston when it suits him, but is quick to ridicule “misplaced nostalgia” when it doesn’t suit him. He leans on his ties to the South Carolina Roses and Boykins, but I suspect they shudder at the connection. He is quick to take offense and responds with petty insults. He is no gentleman, and I don’t believe his “mailbox money” sthick for one second. I think it’s baloney.
What is “mailbox money?” and is this how he claims to live or does he have other source of income?
Who is that old woman with Shep?!
Ashley looks very ill! Alarming! IMO – this is not drugs. It appears to be a serious eating disorder. Drugs will usually hospitalize you with serious side effects before you get to this state. Anorexia or bulimia will take you to this state. Family – get her help!

When a “Polo Girl” is rode hard and put up wet.
Shep seems like a people pleaser and a guy who hates conflict. It’s obvious he’s a lot smarter than anyone on that show aside from Whitney and Patricia Shep masterly handled dealing with Ravenal without compromising himself he’s also too smart to burn bridges with anyone. He was also smart enough to limit his scenes with Whitney . He’s more of a natural politician than Ravenal but he’s too smart to get into politics. Life is good for him money women friends travel women
I cannot stand Ashley and hope she is one and done with SC but her weight loss is alarming! I looked her up in Instagram (not sure if I was allowed to mention that-sorry if i wasnt) There is a picture of her in a swimsuit and it is disturbing to say the least. I hope someone is looking out for her best interests (we know this obviously will not be T-Rav) and get her the help she so deperately needs!
Very disturbing and very sad.
yet tons of people comment how good she looks, it’s insane. I have struggled with eating disorders my whole life and I would never post such a photo. she looks skeletal, and in a white swimsuit?? not flattering at all, in any universe. the poor thing has body dysmorphia for sure and god knows what else.
i don’t like her, not by a long shot, but she is clearly ill.
It looks like Thomas is trying to ruin this one like he did Kathryn!!! Unfortunately it looks like Ashley is not going to make it!! PS – shame on u shep !!!
You can tell from her most recent instagram photo that she does not look well…jutting bones.
Shep obviously wants to get out in front of this Thursday’s episode, and do Switzerland Shep damage control. His statement seems to indicate a lot is going on behind the scenes. That said, a true friend would make sure their friend gets the help they seem to need, asap, and not lecture the rest of us.
Lecture?
Absolutely right. I thought it was a bit condescending of Shep in the current circumstances – which he MUST be aware of.
Why does everyone keep mentioning eating disorder? This could also be the results of lots of Cocaine usage! T-RAV was convicted of a cocaine offense, it’s been rumored he and his close friends continue to allegedly partake, so why would it be a far reach that the woman in question who is staying in a prepaid place for 6 months would hang around when the relationship is dead in the water other than to continue a habit, allegedly, and be losing weight so drastically? Most coke users I have known, suffer from the same results. T-RAV clearly screwed up Kathryn with his easy access to drugs, allegedly, and thankfully she is now clean and serene of this horrible addiction. Why would we question that he didn’t , allegedly, get the new woman, hired as a girlfriend or not, hooked on the same addiction?
I’m not being snarky, I’m genuinely curious. How come T-Rav and friends aren’t this skinny if they are all partaking?
Because they drink a LOT of calories.
Exactly.
Also abusing antidepressants and other prescriptions will have same results it’s a downward spiral and a cry for help.
Wow! She’s barely recognizable.
I suspect drugs & an eating disorder. When she picked that fight with Kathryn, I noticed a strange affect in her. Her head was kind of bobbing. It didn’t look right, like she was trying to hide that she was under the influence of some substance
She clearly needs help….
Hope she doesn’t need a diversion program. She has a license to protect.
IF she does, there are programs available to help her recover and keep her license.
O M G she has a problem now if she didn’t before! She looks like she is TRs age now!
It’s not a great photo. I never would have recognized her.
I totally didn’t recognize her. I didn’t realize it was her until I started reading the comments.
I’m not sure what’s wrong but I hope she gets help soon.
Obviously Shep is telling the audience to lay off of her. This is very sad. I believe she has been playing a role the whole time and the negativity is obviously getting to her.
To be somewhat charitable, this woman could also be suffering from pressure to be extremely thin because she is on TV (and maybe wants to stay on TV), and therefore is taking too much of something such as Adderall.
I hope it’s not against the commenting rules (which I truly wish to respect!) to recall that Stassi has freely reported that she felt intense pressure to use Adderall in order to be thin for the show on which she appears. And we’ve certainly seen Bethenney trying on her 4-year-old child’s pajamas…not saying she uses anything, but B certainly has been scary-thin–but dresses better to hide it (and can afford a good tailor).
Like ’em or not, one certainly would not wish health problems on any of them.
This is exactly what I’m inclined to believe as well.. Drugs can make one just just as sick, if not sicker, than an anorexic (I know this from seeing it in people in my life).
Good point.
Adderall is often prescribed without regard for ADHD testing. We often had women come in and be in fits of rage because we would not prescribe it without testing scores or if they were over the age of 18 and not needing it for school or work. It is just legalalized speed. Adderall is very popular with many reality stars who need a quick fix for dramatic weight loss
Nonsense. She has been vicious to people off the show as well. Did you read TT’s post on Luzanne Otte? Ashley is mentally ill, but also greedy and ambitions and will attack anyone who gets in her way. The show is not scripted. She is just showing more of her true self over time.
ambitious
I don’t know why people equate the nasty, clawing behavior by Ashley with mental illness. Some people are just bad and will do anything and everything to get what they want. I am not excusing her with a “diagnosis” of mental illness.
She is just a bad person.
I was just about to comment saying the same thing. I’m seeing this “she’s clearly mentally ill,” thing thrown around a couple of times in the comments with the symptoms of her illness apparently being a mean, nasty, viscious, gold digger. She can be a horrible person without being mentally ill. Plenty of people are. I was just reading somewhere else about how “crazy” gets thrown around a lot as a motivation for someone being excessively mean and evil in books and on TV, because it’s so much easier to say that crazy causes whatever bad behavior than it is to actually attribute real, believable motivations to explain why a character is being such a mean bitch. We keep equating over the top negative behavior with mental illness, but I think it’s kind of offensive. Besides being a needy, whiny, bitchy, mean girl, I don’t see any signs of Ashley being mentally ill.
Could he have picked a worse picture of her? Was that done on purpose? The problem I have with Shep now defending her, on Twitter she is really mean. And paranoid. And not sorry.
I have seen the stuff on twitter ?♀️ cringeworthy
Shep is a weak person who wants everyone to like him. He finally took a stand on tonight’s episode and now he is a weak-ass back pedaler.
Shame on you Shep. Be a fucking man and stick to your real feelings.
I am so looking forward to the recap about tonight’s episode!
She looks very ill . I was cringing yesterday with her IG post . I did not and would never comment on her page , but she needs some sort of help. I rarely am concerned for any “celebrity” but she really looks unwell. Im not a hater or a lover of all this crap going down right now with SC.. but I am a human with a heart and in heart i feel this woman needs to get the hell away from social media , any relationship she may or may not have with TRAV and find some peace sooner rather than later .
I don’t like what I have seen of Ashley on TV but as a former anorexic she is looking scary thin. I think her posting the pic of herself in a white bathing suit which makes her look like a young child and then only keeping positive comments is very telling of her mental state. Very sad and I hope she gets the help she needs.
Bec, I hope you are well! That must be a very difficult situation. I am often inspired by the posters on this site: strong people!
Could care less, don’t like her (or bonnie prince charlies camelia – other post), shes used up, looks really bad, hard and needs to go away – don’t feel any empathy for her at all.
Im cold like that?
If I recall correctly, TR was known to talk about how “fat” Nanny was. Maybe he is obsessed with thin women and she has lost weight to please him. She said that she would dress in any way he wanted and try to look the want he wants.
I once knew a mom from kids’ baseball games (we weren’t friends, just moms at the same game) and she told us that her husband, a DOCTOR, would check her thighs to make sure there was a gap. If not, she was “too fat.”
Years later, I saw them in church on Christmas Eve. She looked sad. I whispered to my husband, “do you remember them from baseball days? That woman looks abused to me.”
No, I did not do anything about it. I still worry about her.
Kathryn said he would call her fat too so who knows what he is saying to the woman.
On the previews for the upcoming episode, Shep joins the ladies outside and says about Ashley something like “I hate/can’t stand that girl.” I actually had to rewind it because I was surprised he was being so open. I suppose this post is to get in front of that statement.
Shep is a playboy, but not a cruel person and he often takes up for the underdog. She is clearly ill. A friend who was anorexic looked exactly like this and she was hospitalized with a feeding tube. It affects your cognition. My friend was unable to read or even watch TV because she couldn’t concentrate. At one point, she was upset when they gave her water because it made her feel bloated. It’s a scary disease and often a life-long battle.
I’m not a fan of Ashley, but I didn’t understand all the negativity on here when she invited Kathryn to go out for Halloween with them. If it wasn’t Kathryn’s night, the only way she would get to participate was if they invited her. For some families it’s better to have no relationship, but I felt like Ashley was trying to forge something positive there.
Being in a relationship with Thomas is obviously detrimental to all involved!! Stay far away, girls!!!
The latest “girlfriend” inviting a mother to go trick-or-treating with her own children is overstepping. It was a bitchy twist of the knife. I suppose you thought Ashley asking Kathryn at lunch if she was going to have a drink was just a slip too.
I am kind of naive that way. I learn a lot from the comments here!
Thomas should have invited Kathryn, not Ashley! ( And Ashley shouldn’t have gone along with them.) Same thing with Ashley trying to force an invitation to Saint’s birthday party. These are power plays.
Omw this is frightening. I hope she gets help. Bravo could redeem themselves somewhat and get her some help.
I thought Ashley looked very thin in the interviews she did for Bravo’s After Show. It would be easy to feel sorry for her if she wasn’t still being such a bitch in those interviews.
I was thinking maybe it was just a bad shot, but her Instagram account has bathing suit shots and she definitely seems much thinner.
She is an awful person who has said horrible things to others yet I can still muster compassion for her. T Rav certainly has a negative influence on all women unfortunate enough to fall prey to his devious nature. I hope this situation puts new light on Katherines past struggles with addiction while being involved with that God awful man. He is rotten to the core & needs to be held accountable for his deplorable actions towards multiple women.
She looks unwell. Also it is time for Thomas to be officially fired from Bravo. His actions aren’t funny anymore.
I’m thinking this is Shep’s way of reaching out? No one could be next to her and not see the marked difference. Given, Shep has his faults but he’s not negative, he’s very inclusive and rarely talks “bad” about anyone that he knows… least of all the cast members. I wonder if he feels bad now about his (voiced) opinions even if his true feelings? Seeing now how much she’s physically changed? The toll of this life she is now in?
I don’t care for her or her character on SC at all but with all the new light shed on her “bf”? I cannot imagine she’s not drank some of the kool-aid and isn’t struggling under all the pressure. Hope she gets out while she still can. Ugh! This whole situation is truly UGLY.
Shep tryin’ to save face after his comment how much he can’t stand her and hates her.
I see right through this twat Yes she needs help . She needs mental treatment JMO she is delusional if she thinks her extreme weight loss will get Thomas to marry her.
If she can dish it out best be prepared to take it.
On a after show she was defending herself. and Chelsey said she tried to include her but Ashley kept whinning how she missed Thomas and 5 mins after he left she missed him. The girls felt Ashley was rubbing it in Katheryn’s face that she has Thomas now and he and her are so close that 5minutes apart is too much for her to handle.
The girls were being very nice in saying that Ashley is Crazy
So it seems she becomes obsessed with whatever she becomes involved with. whether it be extreme weight loss ,drugs or whatever
she is a horrible example for Katheryn’s kids .
The boat next week her nasty ,snide smirk says it all ..she is a nasty piece of work,and I saw it as Evil. .Katheryn and this group do not have to love someone Ashley just because she is Thomas’ hired flavor of the filing season..
She is defending evil actions because she is Greedy.Shep sees right through her and regrets what he said now why ?
She made a huge deal and said over and over how she HASN’T EVER RIDDEN A HORSE… found this little nugget on her Instagram… look at Nov 21, 2015… she’s riding a horse!!!
She needs to stop pretending everything is okay. It’s okay to be embarrassed by behavior on TV and apologize, it’s okay to be hurt and conflicted when your boyfriend is accused of rape. As long as she continues to put on this facade she’s going to take out the anger, pain, and shame elsewhere. The worst part is Thomas likes to keep his women insecure and weak. I hope her family steps in and gets her help. I wish her health. I hope Katherine gets to take the children, they clearly don’t need to be around whatever is going on in that house.
Shep is subtly showing what bad shape Ashley is in.
My theory: Ashley wants the white-picket-fence dream. Somehow in the past she lost chances. Now, it is do or die. She will do what it takes to get decent money and stability in the form of a husband.
I have heard Mr. Ravenel bullying others through 5 seasons. If Ashley thinks she can get the ring, then I think she will starve to get it.
So sad. Lifelong battle.
Allegedly, as a kid, I knew “nurses” (don’t know their real titles) who were using/selling the elderly patients’ drugs . If one was an addict, AT THAT TIME, having a nurse as a supplier was key.
Oh Sheppie,
My dislike of her is not dependent on you.
If she does have an eating disorder, I do have some basic compassion for her in that regard, but it doesn’t mean that I think she is a vile human being just based on her thinking public rape allegations are GOOD PUBLICITY. The crassness and insensitivity of that makes me want to vomit. And I will never really like someone who can be so blase about it.
I don’t care if you are told by production to stir shit up with Kathryn – you don’t use the kids to do it. Period. (There are a lot of ways to do that that would be pretty bad, but wouldn’t include the children.
Well said!
Ashley posted the pic first in her IG. Captioned with,” Always fun to run into friends.” I believe she is just using Shep to try sway viewers. She also posted a video of Shep riding horses with caption “Ok so I’m not a horse whisperer.. but apparently I’m not the only one lacking horse riding skills? @ShepRose #SouthernCharm ” Posted on May 25.
Probably using Shep to help her image. Which BTW is not working.
You know what would help her image? Dumping Thomas Ravenel. It’s done wonders for Kathryn.
Let’s hope that Thomas’ family has set aside some resources so kensie and saint get their mailbox Mo et because this won’t end well for thomas. On a lighter note as I was walking and writing this comment I walked past Ramona. She cut her hair and looks amazing. She sneezed and I said ” bless you Ramona”
HOLY CHRIST! FOLLOW HER! Did she look injured from the car accident? GET A PHOTO! lol. Oh and hi, welcome to TT every EVERYONE is a TT spy.
She lives two buildings down for me. I see her often. She grimaces at me and makes hubs uneasy when she stares at him. I will.get a photo next time. Should I ask her anything? She looked amazing and definitely not injured.
She was allegedly in a car accident over the weekend. There are conflicting and odd reports. It happened in The Hamptons.
I run into Ryan Serhant who is very cold. I see Luann too. Luann is lovely!
What about Ryan? So cute! Right?
