Couldn't agree more. Ashley was incredibly strange, there has to be something wrong with her. Maybe modelling just *beep* her up. It disturbed me when she expressed how much she hated her own modelling career, then brightened when she recounted how she became a scout instead. She made it sound so positive and for her it was but it was messed up when she said she'd rather be the one in control. As if she's taking her own pain out on the girls. She knows what they're going through and she's partly responsible for it (a big part). At one point she mentions how she doesn't know how to do anything else. Is that meant to be her justifying why she keeps doing this to girls? Who either go home in debt or turn to prostitution? (Which I think she knew more about than she let on. As it is she talked about it a great deal then said she pretends it doesn't exist. I somehow doubt that. Surely she wouldn't have brought it up otherwise).
I'm not sure if she was just a good liar or if she was deluding herself. I would say she's lying because she seems like a terrible human being but with the way she seemed to be in a dream world half the time, it also wouldn't surprise me if she didn't think she was doing anything wrong. The way she was all smiley to the girls in the apartment makes me think that. They weren't particularly happy and she didn't seem to see the problem. Plus, I'm sure I read in another thread that she approached the maker of the documentary to do it in the first place. Unless she was trying to p*ss someone off, why would you do that? If she thought she was portraying herself positively she really isn't all there.
I feel bad for anyone who gets duped by that, or similar agencies. It's just so horribly wrong and I felt a little sick after watching this.
