In less than six months, she had several thousand likes and over 400,000 followers.
Born in the age of the internet, Ashley, like any other teenager, joined many social media channels.
However, she found her calling on Instagram, where endless strings of photographs could dictate an account’s popularity. With aspirations of becoming an established singer and model, Ashley realized that she could tap into Instagram’s potential as a social media channel and earn a name for herself.
She started by posting fashion-related posts and images of herself.

Her short videos indicated her talent in singing as well.
However, due to several instances of Cyberbullying and her mental health problems, she decided to kill herself in January 2019, leaving many shocked. Her family displayed great strength and did not blame anybody for her death and continued to talk fondly of their daughter’s dreams and ambitions. Her mother is currently in charge of her Instagram account and regularly posts tributes to her daughter, while many mourn her early loss.

Controversies
Ashley’s account started receiving several hateful comments and jibes once she grew popular on Instagram. In particular, Tyler Edmonds, who is also known as BarbiiDaBully, stood out as he constantly bullied her and even prided himself on it.
