Why did Ashley file a restraining order against Brian?
On May 22, 2023, The Blast revealed that Ashley had filed a restraining order against Brian and claimed she is in fear for her life.
She described Brian as being “close to the edge” and having “the ability to murder,” according to court documents obtained by the outlet.
She also alleged that Brian is “mentally unstable, in a constant state of mind alteration, and seems to be having mental atrophy, increased paranoia, and inability to distinguish reality.”
In the filing, Ashley wrote: “May 15, 2023, the police issued an (Emergency Protective Order) due to (Brian) having attempted to extort $150,000 from me (television/film actress), his history of verbal abuse, his very unhinged mind from his addictive use of narcotics and several other reasons.”
Ashley also detailed the abuse she allegedly suffered during their relationship, claiming Brian broke glasses and gates, slammed doors, and called her names like a: “stupid, useless, f**king b***h” and “f**king c**t.”

In the filing, she added: “A few weeks or so before that respondent blocked me from Internet, access to all of my devices, including my cameras.
“My mother, my family, my friends, and others contacted me out of fear for my life. I was terrified. I vacated my home and stayed with my family.”
Ashley also alleged that it took her two and a half years to end their longtime relationship.
In April 2023, Brian took to Discord to announce that he would be taking a pause from streaming to focus on taking new medication as part of a “medical/mental health journey.”
