As for Bar Smith, it seems that he hasn’t left his criminal activity in the past either. His baby mama Ashley Jones has recently accused him of being abusive toward her in front of their newborn child.
“You guys want to know the real about Bar?” Ashley screamed in an Instagram Live update. “He f*cking beats me! How’s that for real? He and his mom are bullies! He puts his f*cking hands on me and he expects me not to put my hands back on him! His mom put her hands on me and he expects me not to put my hands on her,” she exclaims. “But he beats my motherf*cking a** in this house with my daughter!”
Soon after, Bar’s mother Shen shared the clip and added the caption, “Ashley is hitting h3rself. And said she is telling police bar did it smh but her fans say im crazy and wrong this is what we deal with.” Ashley quickly shot back on Twitter.
“Yeah you did see that video of me slapping myself, but I didn’t lie about anything. He does get physical with me often,” she wrote. “But I love him and I stay because I really want things to work ok . Jesus . I would NEVER lie about something like that.” She explained that slapping herself is “something I do every time the pressure gets [too] real and I’m on the verge of loosing [sic] my sh*t.”
The situation got more confusing when Bar himself spoke out about the violence.
“Here y’all go for everyone who’s wondering, yes sometimes sh*t gets physical on both ends but I ain’t no woman abuser and all that extra sh*t,” he wrote on Instagram. “YES we fight but sh*t who doesn’t, it’s all a work in progress but no one has bruises or none like that so please stop trolling everyone. thank you!!!”
However, fans report that in another Instagram live video, Ashley can be heard saying that he doesn’t have to hit her. Bar reportedly responds, “Well you keep flappin your motherf*cking mouth.” Ashley then allegedly revealed Bar didn’t want her to leave and told her, “Why, so you can call the police?”
The stars are all sending mixed signals, but fans seem decided that it’s not a good situation for anyone. “So no bruises means it’s okay? That’s scary. One day it’ll escalate into bruises or even possibly more. & who just puts this out there on social media for the world to see?” wrote reddit user knelso05.
Complicated Relationships

“Bar needs to be off the show,” wrote reddit user BastaniUsername. “I liked him on TM but all this drama spilling out from Ashley is so scary. I’m starting to understand there is a LOT that goes on behind the scenes we don’t see. This is a very dangerous situation for Ashley and [their newborn daughter] Holly.”
Unfortunately, this is just the beginning of the drama in Ashley’s family. She has also just shared that Bar’s mother Shen made a sexual advance at her early on in their relationship.
Ashley opened up about Shen’s sexual advance on her Instagram live. “They got drunk on Amsterdam together with Bar present, and Shen was telling Ashley how pretty she was and tried kissing her. Bar intervened and said, ‘Mom, why are you trying to kiss my girl?’” reveals reddit user CadburyBunnyPoo, who tuned in. “Bar was there when Ashley said it on IG and he did not disagree.”
Soon after, Shen spoke out about the accusations!
“So now i get ugly she posted i tried to mak3 out with her she better prove it in court im done,” Shen wrote on Facebook. “Now I am gonna bring the big dogs out im tired of her lies she is a lot sicker than I thought 1st off I don’t do girls and if I did her panties would be clean.”
Surprisingly, soon after this Ashley posted a public apology to Shen.
“Said and did a lot of sh*t to my mother in law that wasn’t ok,” she wrote on Twitter. “I love her and her son and want to move forward because my daughter deserves it.” Luckily, Shen seems willing to accept the apology.
Fight Me IRL

“It’s heart breaking, but as a mother I will still be there to help in any way,” Shen tweeted. “But healing will take a long time. I have been thru so much over this: lied on, defamed but forgiveness will start healing. I am going with caution.”
There’s just one person standing in the way of this reunion: Ashley’s mother, Pastor Tea, who has made her dislike for Shen very clear from the beginning. She took to Twitter to add her two cents to the confusing fight.
“All your kids are criminals,” Pastor Tea wrote. “And the one in jail now was caught on [camera] but you say he innocent,” she said, referring to Bar’s brother who was found guilty of murder.
“You are low class on every level. I grew up in the projects and I never met anyone more trashy than you. All those kids lives you have ruined. Not one have a solid education and you dont either. Anyone dealing with you loves the mess because everyone knows that to pull me out of character…..you have truly crossed the line.”
Then she asked Shen to talk to her face to face. “Shen you been lying on me since day one. You don’t know me and every time Bar asked you to speak with me you tucked your tail and ran. It’s easy to press a 21 year old but you not gone press me. This goes much further than tv. I’m ready to SEE YOU!!! Nuff said.”
She added, “I don’t do this social media stuff. See me in real life. We got some talking to do. Call me Shen. Don’t run. face to face. Tell me where you getting all your lies from because your own son don’t deal with you because of what you done and you not telling folks.” To no surprise, Shen quickly responded via Facebook.
