Excuse how this may come across but if Ashley was ‘a bit common’ and lived in a council flat and was on benefits and left her child for 4 days for no reason, called him names, showed how she was barely with him all week, again for little to no reason, I believe she would be crucified. She gets away with it because she’s got a posh voice, money and is aesthetically pleasing. It’s reminiscent of the McCann saga, there’s definitely a debate to be had whether they’d have been treated by the media differently if they were ‘a bit common’ and not doctors, and had left their child.
Ps: I don’t think there’s anything wrong with h if a council flat/receiving benefits etc but society definitely reacts differently based On things like this! But imagine if this was Ashley’s situation and she didn’t have privilege on her side.
