AceShowbiz - Ashley Martson is hospitalized due to complications from lupus. The "90 Day Fiance" star was found unresponsive at her home on Sunday morning, January 13 and rushed to the hospital, where doctors told her that she was suffering from acute kidney failure due to the autoimmune disease.
The reality TV star has taken to her Instagram page to share a picture of her lying in hospital bed, with IVs attached to her hands. She revealed her condition in the caption, writing, "I'm sorry if this photo offends anyone but I will not hide that I'm sick. If I can help one person with lupus then posting this is worth it."
"I was found unresponsive this morning at my home," she went on sharing. "The Ambulance took me to the hospital where it was found that I am in acute kidney failure due to lupus. I will begin dialysis shortly."
Vowing to stay strong, she also asked for prayers to help her heal. "I will not let this beat me. I know I'm strong enough to battle through this,not just for myself but for my kids. I will be transferred to another hospital this evening that is better equipped. Please pray for myself and my family as I know it's going to be a very tough road ahead for all of us," she wrote.
She also thanked her fans, followers and friends "for your continuous support and prayers." She ended the message with a plea to "please keep negative comments off this post. I'm already scared and I don't need to be kicked while I'm already down."
Fellow "90 Day Fiance" star Kalani's sister Kolini has commented on Ashley's post, offering to travel to be closer to her. "I'll be on a flight this week if you need me," Kolini wrote. "You're the strongest person ever and I love you."
A message shared on Ashley's Instagram Stories presumably by her close friend also gave an update on her condition. "She is in the ICU and is finally responsible," the post read. "Prayers for her children as well. Thank you."
Ashley was previously hospitalized over Christmas due to complications from lupus, days after it was revealed that her husband Jay Smith cheated on her. In the December 23 episode of the TLC series, Ashley found out that Jay was messaging multiple women on dating application Tinder the day after their Las Vegas wedding.
"After everything that I've done for him and this is how he treats me," she said on the show. "I don't even know how you can go to bed at night. The signs were there and I just ignored them." Jay appeared to admit to his wrongdoing, saying, "I'm going to be tied down forever. I can't do nothing." He added of his feeling to settle down, "I don't think anyone is 100 percent ready to get married unless they're like 50."
