"Hi everyone, I hope you're staying warm! Just a quick note to say thank you to all the @cameo requests and the products sent for endorsement," Ashley wrote.

"I am, however, very sick at the moment. I'm not ignoring you. Please standby until I'm out of the hospital."

Ashley didn't dive into the details of her illness or condition, but she did recently share that she suffers from lupus, a chronic autoimmune disorder.

During a November episode of 90 Day Fiance's sixth season, Ashley appeared under the weather or as if she had been crying following a blowout fight with her fiance Jay Smith, a 20-year-old from Port Maria, Jamaica.

Shortly after the episode aired, Ashley posted a photo of herself lying in a hospital bed with a red rash on her neck.

"A lot of people are asking why I look so sad and like I was crying for days in last night's episode. This photo was taken hours before that filming. I had a reaction to a medication for lupus and my eyes and my neck were [completely] broke out," Ashley wrote.

"They gave me steroids to help it, but it wasn't completely gone. I was battling this the entire rest of the season so I just wanted to address it."

Ashley captioned the image at the time, "Was going through hell the entire rest of the season dealing with this."

Ashley and Jay currently star on Season 6 of TLC's 90 Day Fiance that airs Sunday nights.

Ashley, a bartender and mother of two who had been engaged twice before, met Jay at a bar during a vacation to Jamaica.

Although they parted ways after spending time in Jamaica, Ashley revealed Jay contacted her on social media once she returned to the United States and a romance blossomed.

After getting to know each other better, Ashley later returned to Jamaica, where Jay proposed marriage after only eight days together.

Jay was subsequently approved for a K-1 visa, and the latest episodes of 90 Day Fiance have shown him trying to get settled into Ashley's life in Pennsylvania.

The most recent episode showed the couple hoping to wed before Jay's visa expires in a quickie ceremony, probably in Las Vegas.
