The disturbing obsession with Jared, including what seems to be a fictional account of their shared history and relationship (that she believes), the random outbursts of laughter for no reason, the incessant crying, the bizarre back and forth on how she feels.
This is a mentally ill individual that ABC is somewhat exploiting. While every time she appears on screen is super cringeworthy, should someone this mentally unstable be on a reality show?
Short answer. YES.
shareI can't tell if she is mentally ill or just a really bad actress. She obviously made herself relevant on this show by playing up her soap opera diva tactics. She is both cheesy and cringeworthy.

I don't know how fictional her off-screen relationship with him is. She has made comments that they sometimes sleep together (literally sleep, not sex) and that they have a very close relationship and he has never denied those things or seemed confused by her comments so unless she is truly delusional and he simply has no problem with her saying completely untrue things (lies about him) then her behavior and feelings DO come from something that goes on in real life with them, she doesn't pull it out of the air.
And if NOTHING AT ALL really goes on between them in real life/off the show then there is no way Jared would be so concerned with her and about her feelings and stuff. My guess is that he is not as innocent in this scenario as we are led to believe. I don't know that for sure but it really seems that way. And I say this as someone who basically can't stand Ashley.
All of that being said, I agree that she seems to have a mental problem.

Agree...Ashley is one thing, but Jared is playing into this as well. And since he's fine with Ashley interfering with the new woman, he should be fine with her interfering with every new woman from here on out
shareMy Wife and I joke she brought a gun. No seriously strikes me as a murder-suicide thing. She displays serious mental health problems.
shareIt's true Jared and her are friends. Ive seen Instagrams of them together off the show. I think she is delusional about being his ex though. They were never a couple on BIP 2. Jared and her exchanged roses because he had no other options and they were friends with very little romantic interaction. He even told her both of the should explore options on BIP 2 during all this.
shareThat is actually a very good question. She clearly has some issues. Like lack of self esteem, big time. She also is somewhat delusional, concocting scripts about what happens that diverge from objective truth. The way she resorts to crying as a coping mechanism and as a tool to trying to control the emotions and opinions of others (at the drop of a hat) shows immaturity. I noted that she accused Caila of wanting attention, but Ashley over-dramaticizes everything for attention.
Many of the women on the show have a script in their heads about how romance and relationships are supposed to go and they are upset when reality does not comply with their scripts (look for phrases like "I deserve this" and "soul mate" and "I want to be treated like a princess") and is really that way. Shows immaturity. It also shows trouble with perceiving reality.
So, is she mentally ill? I would say she is mentally compromised and emotionally immature. What she calls love is obsession or mania. To be so focused on only one thing in life is unhealthy. She would make a good nun.
