I've been following this story for a while, a rollercoaster ride that doesn't seem to ever come to an end. This blog is linked directly to your name. I've wondered if Trashley has looked you up and found your blog. I've wondered if Stacey has as well, she seems the type to keep prolonged tabs. In either instance, I do hope that Cecilia isn't catching the weight of potential Trashley rage. I find myself increasingly worried for her and the kids every time a new post drops. I'd imagine that you've been able to entierly cut ties with Trashley. I wish every woman could dodge or escape her path of destruction and abuse. Unless Trashley is imprisoned or dies at the end of your story, Cecilia I'd guess isn't so lucky... we all know the judicial system very infrequently properly protects women and children. You've painted a pretty clear picture of how volatile and cruel Trahley can be. I can't see her loving this blog, and I fear the internet isn't as big as it feels sometimes. I hope you getting your story out there doesn't cause waves for those still directly and next to permanently linked to Trashley. Considering it sounds like you've established a sisterhood with Cecilia, I can only assume you weighed the pros and cons of sharing your side of things; I just hope your pros aren't being outweighed by her cons in real time 💓
Every time she says “They are going to take my kids away from me!” I want to scream. I don’t understand why anyone would want her near them. They were clearly not a priority and yet, that is the one thing that keeps getting dangled in front of her and that she boo hoos about when she gets called out. I wouldn’t want her within a 1000 miles of an animal or a child.
Exactly this. And nobody was taking the kids away from her, she literally abandoned them to have an affair in another part of the country. And they were safe and cared for by Cecelia. Literally nobody was coming after the kids, she just uses that excuse to get away with her bad behavior.
You know the old saying, “Truth is stranger than fiction” and this story is wilder than I could ever make up. Lauren is telling her truth, unlike Trashley ever did.
You’re the one who bragged to anyone who would listen that she worked for SNL when she never claimed it. Don’t you have some physics to do instead of hanging out in the comments? Tell me about Chaos Theory. That seems to be your jam.
This has been the best and worst of a gripping story. All the emotions.
I will miss you and your hilarity through the madness of it all.
I hope you have found peace out of sharing this with us. Please god Ashley gets thrown off Hinge and all platforms. Still shook by her being your first match. 🫨
Thank you, and thank you for reading along from the beginning! I'm not sure yet what I'll write next, Trashley is a hard story to top. But hopefully I can still tell entertaining stories once this one comes to an end. And I'm glad I waited two years to write it so I could have distance from it all. And of course Ashley's profile was the first to pop up on Hinge, the Universe is hilarious. Wouldn't it be great if I started the next chapter, "So I matched with Ashley on Hinge, hoping this time she would tell the truth about herself. And now we are married and have five dogs, seven children, and a pond filled with catfish." Now that would be an excellent ending. xo
Hopefully the Big Brother producers are reading this and will invite Trashley to be a 'house guest' next summer. Or maybe something new, like a reality show where she gets the help she needs. I'd call it 'Out of the Ashes'.
I had a line in this chapter that I took out, something along the lines of "If Ashley was in a reality show called Fuck Around & Find Out, she would've won. Because she both fucked around, and found out, to the highest of her ability.
Hopefully you plan on including a ‘where is she now’ chapter. I can’t imagine her trying to live a normal life when all she has done is live in a world of lies. Does she even know who she is? It’s all so fascinating.
Angry with you for letting her in your house and for Cecilia having to be this involved with her wife's mistresses drama. Outside looking in, they were so many ways this relationship could've ended earlier.
I'm glad the police were finally involved. Hopefully you have an improved opinion of law-enforcement. I'm curious if you are still friends with Cecilia? I hope she can find a way to let Ashley go because toxic is toxic regardless of whether it's mother of your children. She's terrifying and clearly mentally ill.
Ashley wasn’t acting out when the cops arrived, but they believed you and took you seriously—more seriously than psychologists in a mental health facility! So relieved. Now for you and Cecelia to get those restraining orders… (we gotta keep Percy and the children safe)
I must recommend the book "The Mask of Sanity". A Southern shrink in the 1940s wrote a bunch of portraits of particular lunatics he encountered, all with obsessions and mostly sociopathic habits. The book takes some getting used to (the South, the 1940s), but it's a hoot:
That’s how the entertainment industry works Chantel (allegedly)- clearly not your area of expertise, you should go back to “being a physicist” you fooled people longer with that one
Listen Lauren (cause the likelihood of this not being you or someone adjacent to you, is laughable) it's pretty clear that you want to live and breathe infamy. Careful what you wish for.
I've been waiting for this chapter to drop! Is this the end?
It’s not the end, but I would say it’s the beginning of the end.

I really worry for Cecelia and the children too. I hope they're okay.
Me too 😞

“I put my woolly mammoth bones and dire wolf skull in a big Tiffany’s box…” poetry
I can't believe she's the first person Hinge suggested to you btw. That sucks, lol
I figure it's just one, of a number of ~creative retellings of the truth~
Lol don’t be a hater! Shit like that actually happens
I find the writing to be honest with fresh style. Perhaps this is not your area of expertise
You know the old saying, “Truth is stranger than fiction” and this story is wilder than I could ever make up. Lauren is telling her truth, unlike Trashley ever did.
Not a hater. Just a realist that, after reading her cliché-heavy writing, can understand why she resorts to this
You’re the one who bragged to anyone who would listen that she worked for SNL when she never claimed it. Don’t you have some physics to do instead of hanging out in the comments? Tell me about Chaos Theory. That seems to be your jam.
Not quite sure what I am going to do with my life once this is over… 😅
Same 😭

She’s here living in the comments and thriving on chaos.
Textbook schizophrenia.
This one made me tired.

Thank you ma’am 💃✨

Ooh, thanks for sharing! I just placed a hold on it through the Libby app, I'll report back!
I was so pumped when this dropped!!! Impatient and excited for the conclusion 💖
Yay! I'm gonna be sad when it’s over. But you never know, maybe ill get catfished again 🤣
"I’m severely attracted to creative, funny, nerdy brunettes with big brown eyes and a weird soul." girl we have the same type hahahahahaha
Sounds like we need to take a field trip to the Ruby Fruit, maybe we’ll find some there! 🤣
I'm down if you are!
As someone intimately involved in this already said, "wrap it the fuck up".
You’re back!! You have an MIT shirt I can borrow?
Also, still curious if you'll ever give back the thousands you stole from your 'friend' as a finder's fee?
🎶Trashley and Lieren sittin' in a tree....🎶 lol
Idk, Yall maybe deserve each other

Ashley,
Why are you still on the internet?
infamy- noun
the state of being well known for some bad quality or deed.
Pretty sure you’ve nailed it already. Thanks, though!
Looks like I wouldn't be alone on Infamy Island. Bring your sunscreen Becky.
Oh! That could be the name of your next MTV produced show.
I wish I could insert the mocking SpongeBob meme here because PFFT
Sounds like a threat everyone should screen grab
Yes a screenshot showing...comeuppance? You yokel,lol. You're definitely the type of ww to call the police. Go play in traffic
