  • WHAT ASHLYN CASTRO SAID

    She said on TikTok: "I don't even know where to begin, but I'm going to try my best to just get into it. It makes me super uncomfortable talking on camera about my personal life. I've never even really spoken on camera too many times, so bear with me. Every angle you can think of, people have attacked me, harassed me, been so disrespectful. It's just been too much. "Let's talk about this dating history. I've had three boyfriends over the last eight years. In 2017, I was in my very first relationship and he's a public figure, so because of that, I've dealt with people talking about me, making up things about me. There was nothing on the internet about me prior, so people kind of just made up a bunch of things to justify hating me because of who I was dating at the time. And then over the last six years after that, I've dated two people. So three relationships in total."

    She added: "I'm like shaking because I'm not ready to talk about this on the internet. This is extremely personal. This is my real life. I shouldn't have to talk about this. But moving forward I will talk about things that are important such as mental health. This is something that I wanted to use my platform for but I just wasn't ready."

    The hardest part is not speaking the truth, but finding the courage to do it.
