“I owe you all an apology,” Ashley wrote. “I’d like to apologize for how I treated Kathryn, and how badly I disrespected her. I’m not sure what made me think it was okay to speak to a mother that way. It wasn’t. It was not my place to say anything at all, much less the reckless comments I made. I crossed a line and hurt people who don’t deserve it.”

Ashley continued in her apology, “After many chats with my friends and family with children, I never understood the unbreakable bond a parent has with their child. I can listen and learn and be more respectful in the future but until I’m blessed with a child, I can never truly understand the sacrifices a parent makes on behalf of their children. Some children may not truly get it until they have their own baby. It makes me feel horrible that I may have taken my own parents for granted and thus I’ve learned a tremendous lesson from all the good parents out there.”

“I can’t rightfully describe how sorry I am, but I’d never forgive myself if I didn’t at least try,” she concluded. Some fans praised her for finding the strength to apologize and be the bigger person.

Others thought it was just a grab at attention, questioning why Ashley didn’t just apologize to Kathryn in person. Ashley claimed she tried, but Kathryn wasn’t interested.
