90 Day Fiancé star Ashley Martson cut the cord with friend Natalie on Sunday's episode, but their strained friendship resurfaced in a series of now-deleted Instagram posts. Ashley aimed to reveal information from her own past before Natalie could leak it, as she claimed to do in a text posted by Ashley.
Ashley originally posted the texts on her Instagram Monday, though the post has been deleted. John Yates also uploaded a screenshot of the conversation to his own Instagram. His post has not been deleted. A photo of Ashley with a black eye and bruised cheekbone is seen in a text sent by Natalie. In the caption, Ashley explained Natalie planned to leak the information on Ashley's abusive ex-fiancé.
"It's a photo of me after my ex fiance beat me up badly," Ashley wrote. "I left him and pressed charges. I got a PFA against him and he spent time in jail. He never cheated on me."
She also detailed information on her inability to have a child. "Natalie just announced to the world that I had a hysterectomy and Jay is going to leave me because I cannot give him children," she wrote. "Due to cancerous cells, I was forced to undergo a hysterectomy at age 26. We can use a surrogate if finances are there in the future. The possibility of us not having our own biological child is there."
Ashley also noted her distrust in Natalie. "I'm posting this because Natalie is literally posting every detail of my s***** past. I know this is coming next," Ashley wrote.
The reality star's decision to reveal these details comes just after Natalie leaked information about Ashley's near death experience at 19. News broke that Ashley had been kidnapped, raped and almost killed.
"As most of you know an old friend decided to send the tabloids a very personal story about me," Ashley explained on Instagram Friday. "Yes, when I was 19 I was kidnapped, raped and almost killed by a stranger."
Since the information on Ashley's past was revealed, she asked Instagram users if they'd like to hear her speak about it. On her Instagram story Wednesday. She provided a link for followers to ask her questions they'd like to hear answered. She promised a YouTube video answering the questions in the next week.
Ashley removed Natalie from her wedding, therefore ending their friendship, when Natalie refused to drop her assumption that Jay, Ashley's fiancé, had cheated on her while he still lived in Jamaica.
