Please share your thoughts on her revelation about not being truthful and supplying the killer with methampetamines.
I suspected there was a lot more to her story then she let on. So I was not suprised to hear she shared meth with the murdering ba#**rd. She probaly will tell the rest of the story as her book release gets near.
At first I was wondering why Ashley Simpson was on Hannity and Combs.
Hey cowboy, come on in and give us the 'inside scoop' on what we weren't told 7 months ago... (I can't see spending my money to enrich an admitted liar).
Darlin'
You accused her of screwing him if I remember correctly.
You still have a hate on for her as big as Montana.
Are you sure she didn't stand you up for the prom er sumtin'?
Her story didn't pass my smell test at the time. I guess I ended up giving her the benefit of the doubt. I'll pass on the book.
She wrote the book and she calls herself a hero in the title?
Talk about an ego. If I didn't know better I'd say she was high.
As we speak she is probably in a blind rage, stabbing the person who did her makeup in the chest 257 times.
Wow, you seem to be quite a jerk. Why so bitterly obsessed with her after all this time?
Do you honestly believe that she would go on TV and admit to having given him drugs that night if she was still addicted and using? Admitting it to a nat'l TV audience is not only tough, but a way of penance and attempting to put that bad part of her past behind her. It is therapy, by confessing and inviting the whole nation to hold her accountable. How much easier would it have been (or at leasted appeared to be from her viewpoint) for her to never have mentioned it, left it out of the book, and gone on with a hidden life?
What we saw is someone honestly trying to change their life, and taking advice that tells them to confess, come clean, and put yourself in a position to be held accountable. I betcha dollars to donuts that she was urged by those counseling her to do this interview for those reasons. If she was just selling a book, it would have been far easier(and with higher sales) for her to never mention it and pretend everything was fine that night.
Obviously she still had problems that night, but it also appears that she allowed it to be a life-changing experience for the better. Time will tell, but this interview goes a long way to supporting that view, not shooting it down, as you imply. Completely consistent with what we surmised in the days after the incident, that she was a person trying to clean up her act by turning to God, but now we know her struggles were deeper and more recent than we realized.
So I don't understand your obsession with trashing her, instead of recognizing that she may be turning her life around, and wishing her the best.
Gadzooks! Chieftain I remember the old thread where you said something didn't smell right. I disagreed with you at the time but by golly you were right! Good nose!
Having read the book the Purpose Driven Life, I can tell you it was written for people like Ashley. Professed Christians still struggling with sin in their lives, will find much encouragement in this book. I know I did.
OK granted, she at the time of the event was still taking meth, and had a broken relationship with her parents, but she was in the process of turning her life around, and from every thing I have seen and read she is doing just that.
It’s the Christophobes who are using this spread their anti-Christian message.
I didn't see Hannity & Colmes last night, but I have seen her interviewed several times. She always sounds like she is reading from a script to me....something about her just doesn't ring true. But, the fact of the matter is, after being with her for several hours he did give himself up with no further violence. That little voice inside my head tells me there is more to this story, but I have no choice but to give her the benefit of the doubt.
The general feeling here in Atlanta is that she knows far more than she's letting on.
She's portraying someone who was chosen randomly by Nichols. The catch -- and most outside of Atlanta don't realize this -- her apartment is not just off of the highway. You truly had to know where you were going to get to where Ashley Smith lived. So for someone who was on the run in a stolen vehicle at "Oh-dark-thirty" in the morning, trying to get away from Atlanta on I-85, the notion of "finding" someone who just happened to be out, plus who happened to have some meth smells incredibly suspicious.
The sainted Lady Ashley has conveniently declined to talk to any local media until her book signing next week, despite repeated calls from local radio, television and the print media (both newspapers and magazines here). From what I understand, she's looking for money from whoever interviews her -- which also smells VERY fishy.
The whole thing is very flaky. I have a hard time trusting her.
I saw a piece of her on Larry King this evening with Rick Warren, and I'm still skeptical. It's too convenient. I think that's a huge part of my problem. Call me a curmudgeon or anything else, but personally, I think the "sainted Lady Ashley" is not on the up and up.
