Personal Experiences with Ashley Barnes

Hello, my name is Capri Jones and today I will be speaking about my experience with Ashley Barnes. If you guys haven't watched my friend Brad's videos about it, I recommend you guys go watch them now because it covers like the other side of it. And if you did watch Brad's video, he was talking a lot about him being in that experience with another person who was in a public relationship. Well, that person's me. I was there on July 7th, which was probably one of the worst nights of my life. I'm probably going to make a lot of videos about the matter. So, if you have time on your hands and want to sit down and watch, feel free to do so. Before I start this video series, I just want to say I have no malicious intent while posting these videos. I am just confused and I want to drop all the lies that are being told. I have never been the person who thought blasting someone out on the internet and trying to take away their platform was the way to go. But this person is lying to their supporters and saying they're this many days sober when the incident happened a week ago and more incidents happened after that. I genuinely thought Ashley Barnes was my friend and I genuinely thought that she was a lesbian. But um yeah, let's just get into it. See you guys next video. So this all started at around midnight. Uh me and Piper were just getting home eating dinner because we had like a long day, but I wanted to do something because, you know, I haven't really hung out with my friends. I've just been hanging out with my girlfriend, which I love her, but obviously you need to hang out with your friends. When Ashley texted me and she was like basically that she's going to be a third wheel and she wants me to come so like me and her can like talk and like hang out. That's what I insinuated while Bradley and them do what they're doing. And I was like, "You know what? You're my dog. I got you. I want to do something anyways. Let's do it." So, I get in my car and I'm on my way there. But while I'm driving, I have like a pain in my heart and like my heart's beating fast and I'm getting like anxiety. And I was thinking like maybe it's because, you know, I haven't hung out with people in so long. But I genuinely think that God was telling me not to go. Um, and this is stupid to say, but I kind of ignored it just so I can hang out and just so like I'm not rude and I just turn around while I'm like 5 minutes away cuz I already text her that I'm like 5 minutes away. So, I get there. Um, we walk upstairs and there's just Brad, uh, her roommate, and then this other girl and her. So, it's three girls and two boys. There's drinks there and stuff. She offers me a drink. I'm like, "No, I'm good." you know, I'm driving and stuff, so uh knowing the drinks, I'm good. And then she's like throughout the night, she's like pressuring me to drink because, oh, I haven't seen you in so long. Oh, let's hang out. And like she's one of the people that she needs to drink to have fun. And everybody else was drinking. Let's just call it Kool-Aid. So Brad didn't drink, but he took something else and he was so obviously faded. But later I learned that he didn't even know what that was. He thought it was just a regular gummy because Ashley told him it was. And me, I I don't want I never want to be the person who like is the odd one out and never wants to be the person who like people think is better than people. So, I'm not going to lie. I I I got peer- pressured. Okay, I got peer pressured and I did, you know, take some Kool-Aid. And I'm a lightweight, so just a little bit of Kool-Aid makes me uh let's say not clear-minded. Three girls and two boys, but one of the girls is about to leave because she's going to go on a solo mission. So, we're all hyping her up. Do your thing. Do your thing. She leaves 2v2. And Ashley's doing a lot of taking people to the bathroom and talking to them. Taking people to the bathroom and talking to them. And I'm just sitting here like, "Uh, what's going on?" When it was my turn to go to the bathroom, Ashley told me that Brad was trying to get with her roommate. So, obviously, I have to be W man's. And I'm like, "Okay, I'll do that. Sure." So, while Ashley was talking to her roommate, me and Bradley were together. And I was talking to Bradley. I was like, why? What are they talking about? And he's like, I think she's trying to do like a twoman and stuff. And I'm saying like, you see this tattoo like 444? Like I got it with my girlfriend. Like I have a girlfriend. She knows I have a girlfriend. So what what do you mean? And he's like, uh, but she told us that you guys were only on social media and you guys were not really real. And I'm like, do you not see this tattoo? Like I I have a girlfriend that I love. So when Ashley and her roommate come in, I'm like just letting everybody know like I have a girlfriend. Like just letting you guys know. And then Ashley's like, "Okay, okay, okay." Like, "Okay." And I'm like, "It's all funny, but I have a girlfriend." So like I said before, I'm a lightweight. So I'm sitting on what is Brad's bed. There's two beds. I'm sitting on Brad's bed and she's like, "You might have to sleep over." And I'm like, "You know what? That might have to be the method because I cannot drive home right now." So, I'm laying on Brad's bed and she's like, "But you're going to have to sleep on this bed." And I'm like, "Wait, why? Like, this bed's comfortable. Like, this one's chill." She's like, "Cuz that's Brad's bed. Like, him and this girl are going to be on it. Like, me and you are going to be in my bed." I'm like, "No, we're not. No, we're not." I'm just going to say I don't think she's a person who likes rejection because, you know, she's wearing sweatpants, long sleeve, very covered up. She goes into the bathroom. She changes into very short shorts and to the point where it's like me and Brad we're like she knows what she's doing. Like she knows she's trying to like she knows what she's doing. So after she changes, she goes into her drawer and starts spraying a spray. So while she was spraying it, I go over to Brad. I'm like, "What's she spraying?" And he's like, "It's pheromone spray." I'm like, "What?" For those of you guys that don't know what pheromone spray is, it's basically a spray that makes you, let's say, down for whatever. And after that, she grabs something else from her drawer, and it's these gummies. She basically shoves one into her roommate's mouth, basically telling her, "Okay, take this. Take this." Then she goes over to Brad, basically shoves one in his mouth, and he she's like whispering something to him. And I later learned that she was telling him to pretend to take it just so I could take it. Then she goes to my mouth, tries to put it in my mouth, and I already know what it was. Like, I'm I'm already hearing what it was. I I already know. But I'm asking her. I'm like, "What's in this? Like, what is this? What is this?" And she's lying. She's like, "Oh, it's a edible." And I'm like, "Oh, I don't mess with those. You know, I don't mess with those." Then she says, "Oh, it's um a drink." And I'm like, "Oh, nah. I got to go home, you know. I got to drive home. No thanks." And then she's like, "Okay, I'm just kidding. It's a regular gummy. Just take it. It's a regular gummy." And I know what it was. I I know what it is. So, I'm like, "No, I'm not taking it. I'm not taking it. I'm not taking it. So then she like goes into the bathroom or something and I'm like, "What the hell is going on?" I'm talking to her roommate. Bradley and her went to the bathroom talking to her room. I'm like, "What is going on?" And the room is like, "Bro, just take the gummy because like she's like not going to shut up about it." I'm like, "Whatever." Okay, so like she comes in, I grab the gummy. I'm like this and like I throw it out so she doesn't know. So none of them knew that I didn't take it cuz I didn't. Why the hell would I want to take that type of gummy? I'm not in that mood. I'm not doing none of that. So after that, I go to the bathroom, grab my phone, and I call my girlfriend like four times. She doesn't answer because it's like 3:00 in the morning. So I text her a bunch. I'm texting her, "Please make up an excuse so I can get out of here because I'm not trying to be rude or anything, but I need to get out of there." Dare. Anytime anybody asks us truth or dare, we just say truth, truth, truth, truth, truth, truth, truth. The whole game until she gets bored and she's like, "Let's play a different game. Dare or drink." We get her to do stupid things like do cartwheels or try to do a back flip, stuff like that. and she's daring everybody to kiss and we're like, "No, we're not doing that. We're not kissing." The roommate, I'm not gonna lie, the roommate, she doesn't like that this is going on, but she's not like not stopping it. So, one of the dares, um I think one of us are trolling. We're trolling. Okay, me and Brad are trolling. So, we dare Ashley to make out with her roommate cuz we're like, "No way. She's going to see what she's trying to do to us. No way." She does it. She's making out with her. She's grabbing her neck. She's arching while she's doing. She's in there. She's in it. And we're looking at each other. We're like, "What?" Like, "Oh my god." Now she's telling me, "See, me and my roommate are friends. Now me and you can make out. Me and you can kiss." And I'm like, "That's not happening." So, she dares me to like make out with her. And I'm not going to lie, I take Kool-Aid cuz I'm not doing that, you know? I'm not I'm not doing it. Okay. Turns are going around. Turns are going around. It's the roommate's turn. The roommate dares actually to stop asking people to make out. She goes up, grabs a drink, and takes a shot cuz she's like, "I'm not doing that." You know, "I'm not doing that." And we're like, "What the like this girl is crazy. Like, what's going on?" Hi guys, my name is McKenna and this is speaking on the Ashley Barnes incident. So, um, I had posted a video a long time ago, maybe like two months agoish, on my main account, and it had blew up. It was about actually Ashley Barnes and um, it was saying here, look, I'll pop pop it up on the screen. It had said, "I saw you and uh Savannah broke up," which is her ex. Um, "I am so sorry, Savannah. I kind of like am now seeing and I understand." Honestly, I had no idea about who Ashley Barn was until I saw like a video pop up about y'all on my for you page. I thought it was something I could totally post and rage about. I didn't expect it to blow up cuz I didn't even really know about her. Anyways, shortly after posting it, I started receiving calls from friends. They were like, "Hey, like I've heard nothing good about Ashley Barnes. Just like letting you know." And I had received multiple of those calls. It wasn't just from one person. It was multiple of those calls, multiple DMs about it. Well, about two days ago, I had received a text from Brad Mason, which we had gotten contact. He's a really cool guy. I love Brad. He's he's so sweet. Um, I had like posted a video about it. he had saw it and we were going to like plan this like twoman out with my friend. Um, and it was going to be like a double date thing. It was like a joke. Obviously, it didn't go through. It was just kind of a joke, you know. Um, well, anyways, I think I had joined one of her lives one time and I was like, "Oh my gosh, hey Ashley." Like calling her fine or something dumb like just as a joke, you know, kind of just dragging the joke. Well, she had saw it and she had like a kind of just a rude reaction about it and I was like, "Oh, damn. Oh, damn." It was a joke, but like anyways, so also yesterday I had had an interaction. One of my new friends, she's cool. I I love her. I will tag her on this video. But she was kind of like explaining her interactions with Ashley and it was nothing good. Um, Ashley was very flirtatious and making inappropriate jokes kind of the entire time. Um, I will tag her so you can see her video. Anyways, um, this is not bashing anyone. This is literally just saying what I know and what I've seen and what I've heard. I've heard nothing good about Ashley Barnes. And it's crazy that this is coming out now because like I have received these signs a long time ago and I know with multiple other people they have too. So just watch it around you. Watch your friends. Watch your surroundings because you never know. And even the people on social media, you never know who's hiding behind a screen and who they really are. I'm just going to put that out there, you know. I mean, it's really unfortunate and I hope everybody in this situation that was obviously caused some some, you know, horrible damage just takes time to really um, you know, kind of get through this moment. And I I sincerely say I hope everybody is okay and I'm so sorry that this happened to you. Ashley Barnes mass unfollowing. Also to kind of add on um I am not a victim. However, I know plenty of victims and I just wanted to add that on cuz I was re-watching the video and I was like hold on I sound a little like dumb in this video but yeah no I am not a victim. However, there are a lot of victims and I really hope these stories come out and um y'all get to see like really who is hiding behind this screen, hiding behind millions of followers and overusing their platform. So, God bless y'all. Have a great day and sorry for everybody that who was affected. Hey guys, so I'm McKenna like I said in the last video. Summarize everything up with Ashley Barnes. So, personally, I have never had any nice interactions or encounters with her. And I know that a lot of other influencers can indeed say that. And um I know that she's done some really messed up stuff going with literally giving her friends things and peer pressuring a lot of people to do things they don't want to do. Um and using her profile to cover up who she really is. And unfortunately that's that's how some of these people are and it's kind of an eye openener and I hope to all the young ones watching the page you have to really be careful with your surroundings. It could happen with anyone and everyone. You never know who really somebody is truly until you know something happens and it uh you know and I know there's a lot of other stories going to come out. I wanted to say I am not a victim again. However, I've just never had any nice encounters with her. I know she just has never came off nice and never came off welcoming. You know, she's just, you know, overusing her profile. And um I really hope everybody stays safe. And for all the people coming out with their stories, I hope that um you know, you get the justice you deserve. Y'all have a great rest of your day. Hey guys, I wanted to give my um story time about a creator on this platform that many people on here know. And I've seen a lot of people recently come out and share their stories of their experiences and what happened with them and her. So, I feel like I wanted to come on here and share mine cuz I feel like it's important that people know and are aware of the type of situations creators go through. So, I met this person around the beginning of the party. I also met her at the pre the pre-party at the girl where we were all just making Tik Toks. I had made Tik Toks with her, talked to her, hugged her. her like I thought she was a really sweet, genuine person until around midway through Paul's party. Um, we started to really actually talk to each other and get to know each other and just kind of like um, what's the word? Bond over what like we've both gone through in the past, etc. After this, she said she had to use the bathroom and she told me like, "Hey, do you want to come with me? We can get together." And I was like, "You know what? Why not? Whatever." So, I feel like I don't really think it's awkward to share bathroom with other girls. So, we went to the same stall cuz we were talking throughout the time we were peeing and I finished peeing and then she goes to use the bathroom like scoop past each other. It was a pretty small bathroom stall and she kind of like grabbed my waist. It was kind of strange and it was like that was like kind of a red flag to me. Like I ignored it. Like you know this was a opportunity to make more friends and you know get my name out there. So like I said I ignored it which is probably a bad decision. I should have taken that as a red flag. She used the bathroom blah blah blah blah blah whatever. Finished left. We went out and we went to go talk to Gio blah blah blah all that stuff. gets to a part near the end of the party where everyone or it was just us two at the time before everyone got to the dance floor. It was just me and her and we were dancing and then I told her that I had a really bad game cuz like I don't I don't believe in TMI. Okay, girl. And she looked me up and I specifically vividly remember this. She looked me up and down and she like stepped closer to me and she was like, "I can fix that for you." And like put her hand near you get the gist. But it was very slight like it wasn't like full on like you know. But I stepped away and we just kept dancing whatever whatever. And then there was an afterparty that we went to which was it wasn't even an after party. It was just a hangout group after the party just to, you know, all make more Tik Toks together. And at that, she was being very flirty with me and it made me super uncomfortable. And I was supposed to go back to her dorm, but her roommate was asleep and she was like, I don't care. So, I don't know what would have happened if I gone there based on the videos I've seen. But I just wanted to share my experience and make sure that it was known that you need to be really really careful with people that you trust and you talk to about things. Like this was a big eye opening experience for me because now I I have learned so much about not only the type of people that I can encounter but the people I need to be worried about and I need to be looking out for red flags from. But thank you so much. If you made it all the way to the end, please comment pineapple. I know it's random, but comment pineapple. I love you guys so so so so much. Please make sure you like and follow this account and video. Hi, my name is Stone and I probably shouldn't be doing this, but also nobody's going to see this because I literally have like eight followers and I just I feel like I should talk about this even if nobody sees this and yeah. So um I'm doing this because it seeing other people it validated me but also what happened to me is not near as much what happened to other people and I also don't feel necessarily like violated by her. I more so feel a little hurt which is probably my own fault but with a certain creator. Long story, very long story short, I went to a summer program for UCLA for acting one class. I stayed in the dorm. She, this creator, lives actually in suites, not really a dorm, actually. Um, but that's irrelevant. And again, nobody cares. Nobody's going to see this. Um, long story short, we ended up doing substances, not like hard drugs, but like not hard drugs, but like other things. and I'm straight, but I've really been struggling with my sexuality. I told her that and we she was like, "We're going to film videos together. Like, I'll film videos with you." And I told her, "I don't want you to think I'm using you for view videos. I don't want you to think I'm using you for videos. I don't want you to think I'm using you for anything like that." Um, and she was like, "Okay." and we were talking and hanging out and she, long story short, really late at night, we ended up kissing and um we were it was she tried to get me to go in bed with her. I didn't want to. She still wanted me to, but I was like, "No, thank you." Went back to my dorm room. I was really excited. Actually, I remember getting back and calling from my friends like I was not in the right headsp space, which is my own fault, but I was really happy and I really liked her. And this is my own fault because like obviously you shouldn't like somebody after like spending like what like few hours with them. Um, we met at UCLA. I can show receipts if anybody would like it. Nobody's going to see this. But um if you think I don't know I feel like I was watching other videos and it's like I feel like I was stupid and I shouldn't talk about it because like my experience isn't near as bad some of the other people's experiences. I mean we could go into the details but that's not the point of this. The point of this is like you're not other people have gone through this like you're not alone and this person isn't it's okay to be confused I guess. I don't even know why I'm doing I don't know. I just if it can even help one person, like that's all I want because I felt really confused. And then the next day, so I really liked her. We end up talking all day, texting, flirting. She came over. She held me out with my line. She even posted on her Snapchat story. And she posted hanging out with my friends. I was like, "Why? It's just us. Like, we're working on my acting lines. Like, what do you mean?" And she's like, "Nope, I can't say they're also going to get suspicious." And she never posted a picture of me. Um, which I found found kind of odd. Um, but we were texting all day. And then later the night I it was Saturday night. We ended up hanging out eventually. And long story short, um, she ended up doing things with another very sexual thing with another person. And again, this isn't my place to speak about this because it's not my body. It's not my like that's her stuff. But um, this guy was way older and I was worried about her. She was answering her phone. And I was knocking on her door. She opened it and she was in a towel and I was like and then he was shirtless and I was like oh okay like cool. And then I went home and cried for the whole day which again I cared way too much about the situation. It didn't matter. I was just confused. Like this isn't her fault. I just am speaking out about this because other people are. And I think I guess every everybody's experience about this is valid. And again, I live eight [ __ ] followers. Like nobody's going to see this. But even if it helps one person, I don't know. But it's okay to be confused. And um I actually ended up leaving the program early for a multitude of reasons, but my confusion with that situation was definitely a contributing factor. But she didn't necessarily do anything wrong. Although I will say some of the things that she's some of the things that other people have been claiming like I can thousand 10% back up the addiction and stuff. In fact, I have prescription medication and she tried to buy it for me and I was like no. But so just be aware of who you surround yourself with. I think a part of my appeal to her was that she was like she I I never actually heard of her until this until I met her. Like I'm so serious. impact my roommate was one that recognized her. But if this can even help just one person, that that'd be great. And like if you meet somebody who's famous, don't get starruck by them and think like, "Oh, there's this amazing person who can't do any wrong and like and also it's okay to be confused." And yeah. Hello, it's L. Um I the other video where I showed this, my friend's faces were in it and I don't know if they want their faces shown in it. So, cuz they're in LA and I left. So, I will show it now. Thank you.
