According to People, the show revealed in 2016 that Ashley was sexually abused by her babysitter’s husband. After two decades, she dealt with the aftermath through food.

“I felt like I had no one to protect me, so I turned to food to deal with it all,” she explained on the show.

Additionally, Ashley dealt with her mother’s drug addiction as a child. “If my mother had been paying attention I think she could’ve changed a lot of stuff that was going on,” she added. “But as the oldest one, I felt like I had to protect my brother and sister because they were really little. So I let it happen to me, so it wouldn’t happen to them.”

By the time Ashley went on My 600-Lb Life, she was reportedly 725 pounds. But TLC documented her weight loss. A TLC clip shows Ashley out with her young son in 2017 after massive weight loss. But she noted her fears about regaining weight or having too much loose skin.
