Last weekend I was the very first site to bring you the ongoing Jared Ashley and John Rich mess. Well it's grown legs and flown now and is pretty much all over the place. I'm kind of sad that some sites have chosen to download the info that was available exclusively here and not give credit where credit is due, but I'm still happy that I could be the first to bring you the sordid details.
Well US 103.5 actually interviewed Jared Ashley and according to him John Rich's attorneys are a little P.O.ed that John's cell phone number is all over the net. I assume it's all over the place because it was on the police reports I had posted. Sorry John, I had assumed everyone would have changed their numbers by now and being a public document I didn't really think about all that.
My bad. Live and learn I guess.
Anyway, the interview's pretty good. They also have the YouTube video that had been removed previously. Check it all out here.
*Thanks to CMIL for digging up this addition to the story.
Let's see how long this really lasts. Sorry but a guy like John its only a matter of time before he does something else just as stupid. This case brought out alot of people saying how much they don't like him. As for Ashley well he's gonna have to deal with some backlash for this..whether he was telling the truth or not, thanx to the acquittal he's gonna have a lot to deal with. As for me, I'm just along for the ride. And if I can get in a good show..the day was worth it. Laters, and don't forget the next time any of ya;ll see JR take out those cameras..cause it will be good.

Jared who? Seriously. Never heard of the guy. How many Top 10 hits has he had? Zero, you say?
I'm not a Big & Rich fan, but I am a fan of reality.
To those of you who think that it's bad to have an ego, you'll never be successful at anything, because you haven't learned that besides skill & luck, you'd DA*N better have an ego to carry though through the cr@p you'll encounter along the way. And you'd DA*N better have an ego if you want to get up on stage to perform for thousands of people. If you can't take it, you'll be ground up and spit out.
Call the guy names all you want. He had what it takes to be successful in any industry, and you don't. Your jealousy is stinking up the room

Well, Well....I knew John Rich was an A**. Now The whole world knows. If you ever watched his arrogant-ness, Or as he would like it to be...his highness...on Nashville star, then you have witnessed just how big of an A** he can be to the contestants. Sorry to tell the poor man...he is most defiantly NOT a *STAR*!!! I dont know this Ashley guy but would love to shake his hand. YOU GO!!!!

Why don't you read his (JA) complaint and watch the videos and listen to the phone calls. There is CLEAR undeniable video and audio proof that JA has been assulted, harassed and threatened by JR. It doesn't matter who is well known and who is not. ALL Americans have rights not just stars! Being a star does not grant you the right to treat people any way that you want.

There is no such thing as bad press as long as they spell your name right. I had no idea who Jared Ashley was until all this crap. Lets try getting famous on talent instead of drama>
