The 90 Day Fiance couple had even offering to record Cameo personal videos together for fans for a fee.
However, hours after sharing her mysterious Saturday posting about not being able to "fake" things anymore, Ashley also made another Instagram Stories posting announcing the couple was no longer selling the personalized videos.
"Sorry for the Cameo declines. We are no longer doing Cameos. Happy holidays everyone," Ashley wrote.
Earlier this month, Ashley had revealed she had recently been hospitalized but was now home and doing better.

Ashley also reportedly changed her last name to Smith on classmates.com.
Ashley and Jay's relationship began when they met at a bar while Ashley was vacationing in Jamaica for a friend's wedding.
Although they parted ways after a whirlwind romance in Jamaica, Ashley revealed Jay -- whom she calls "the life of the party" and the "light" in her life -- contacted her on social media once she returned to the United States and they began talking frequently and getting to know each other better.
Six months later, Ashley, 31, returned to Jamaica to visit her man, and then Jay, 20, proposed marriage after only eight days together.
Jay eventually received a K-1 visa, and so far 90 Day Fiance's sixth season has shown Jay getting settled in Ashley's home and the couple planning to wed in Las Vegas after scrapping their plans to wed in Mechanicsburg after receiving anonymous threats from someone who didn't approve of their interracial romance.
