Here’s what we know about the current situation with Ashley and her estranged husband: Ashley obtained a restraining order against Joel last week. The restraining order requires Joel to stay 100 yards from her and their 3-year-old son and to have no contact whatsoever with them.
Then on Friday, September 6, Ashley went to court and officially filed for divorce. TMZ, who has obtained a copy of the restraining order filed by Ashley and her attorneys, is reporting that Ashley claims that she has been the victim of domestic violence at the hands of her husband and that she is afraid for both her life and her son’s life.
TMZ is also reporting that Ashley claims that the physical abuse has been ongoing and started before she and Joel were married and that the abuse has gotten worse over time. Ashley reported in the documents that she suffered a spiral hand fracture in September 2017 when Joel crushed her hand as they were struggling over her mobile phone. TMZ published a photo of her injury, which looked to be quite serious.
The restraining order documents say that Ashley and her son left the couple’s residence on August 17 and that Joel has been stalking her since that time. In addition, Ashley stated that she found a tracking device under her car shortly after she left her residence and that she’s concerned because Joel has a small gun collection at his disposal.
As of now, this is all that’s known about Ashley’s current situation. We should note that Ashley has been active on social media recently, and while she hasn’t specifically addressed her legal situation with her husband, she did make a general statement on Instagram recently about how she’s going through a hard time.

Specifically, she posted a sweet picture of herself with her son, and her caption stated: “Going through transitions and changes; hands down the hardest time of my life bar none. My number one is this guy.” We’ll keep you updated as other news comes in.
As always, more detailed The Bold and The Beautiful spoilers for the week in question will appear here on Celebrating The Soaps, where there will be more clues and hints over exactly what’s going on.
It’s a shame… She was married to Craig T Nelson’s son first, then this guy… I hope she didn’t stay with her 2nd husband too long just out of fear of having another divorce, and possibly a 3rd marriage in the future. I pray for her safety!
Sad situation, but if he was abusing her BEFORE they married, why did she even marry him???
It’s hard to tell if this is her real life or on the soap I’m confused
