WALK AWAY FROM THE SPOTLIGHT.
THE THE THE.
WELL SOME ONE WOULD SAY SHE
HAS A SWEET DEAL.
REALITY SHOW FINANCIAL SUCK BUT
FOR ASHLEY GOLD THERE WAS A
PRICE TO PAY.
SOMETIMES THINGS ARE NOT
WHAT THEY SEEM TO BE.
WE GO INSIDE ASHLEY OAKLAND
COUNTY HOME TO FIND OUT WHY THE
REALITY STAR WALKED AWAY FROM
THE FAME AND STARTED A NEW
BUSINESS THAT IS NOW GETTING
INTERNATIONAL ATTENTION.
I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE CAN
LEARN FROM ASHLEY'S STORY.
38-YEAR-OLD MOTHER OF TWO WAS
OVER WORKED.
HER HEALTH WAS TAKING A DIVE.
AND SHE WAS REALLY MISSING OUT
ON SOME CRUCIAL FAMILY TIME.
YES.
SHE WAS PART OF A HIT TV SHOW
BUT AFTER YEARS OF SUCCESS SHE
DECIDED TO CALL IT QUITS.
BUT WHAT SHE DECIDED TO DO HAS
A LOT OF PEOPLE TALKING.
SO THIS IS HOW MOST OF THE
WORLD KNOWS ASHLEY GOLD.
BECAUSE AT THE TOLD ME.
