‘IT’S not my fault,’ said Ash Travino when her two daughters admitted they had to leave school and lost friends because of their mum’s social media career.
Ash, 36, from Texas, has been branded the ‘worst mum’ on TikTok after ditching her receptionist role at a dentist’s office to rake in thousands of pounds a day going live.
People have been left horrified by the mum’s antics on these videos, where she showcases every part of her life, but clearly they can’t stop watching.
On TikTok alone, the hashtag #ashtravino has been searched for 15 billion times.
Now the mum, along with her two daughters Hailey, 15, and Evie, 12, have sat down with podcaster Camilla Araujo to share her side on the drama – that has led her to be branded the worst mum ever.
One wrote: “She’s a terrible person,” while another added: “The Worst Mom on TikTok is LITERALLY FACTS!”
The mum-of-two became famous in 2023 and is capitalising on being controversial.
Among her scandals have been failing to buy beds for her daughter despite splurging £1,500 on Louis Vuitton handbags, as well as marrying a prisoner (before dumping him) and dating a 19-year-old.
Worst Mum
One of her biggest controversies was a Live video on TikTok, where she admitted to being jealous of her daughter and late ex-husband’s relationship.
The mum revealed she had pulled her daughter’s hair as a child in a jealous rage.
“I used to pull her by the hair because I was so mad at her,” Ash said.
“I feel like he loved her more than me and I took my anger out on her.”
When Camilla brought it up, Ash could be seen laughing as Hailey explained: “I don’t know, there’s nothing to be jealous of.
“I mean, I am her daughter, and they say I look like her, so there’s nothing much different between us.”
She has also been slammed for being unable to provide her children with adequate furniture in her home.
I feel like he loved her more than me and I took my anger out on her.

On the podcast, the girls clarified that they live with their grandparents, but sleep on blow-up mattresses while staying with their mum – as she has no beds for them.
Ash said that her mum was supposed to go furniture shopping for the girls but hadn’t been able to yet.
She added: “My mom was actually going to go look at a furniture store because I don’t go anywhere publicly, if I go out I’m going to get noticed yeah and if I don’t have my security guard I’m not going anywhere.”
The mum has also caused an outcry for using her daughter’s personal medical information to make money from live streams online.
In one video, she can be seen asking for a Galaxy gift (which is worth around £10) for her to discuss her daughter’s medical history.
In another clip, Ash can be seen dancing along to music while her eldest daughter Hailey begs her to come offline as she had been sick.
“Mum I threw up why are you dancing?” she can be heard saying before she tells Alexa to stop the music.
“Bruh, I was dancing to Nunu,” Ash responded, tutting at her daughter.
Those watching her TikTok lives have been so horrified they have called the Child Protective Services numerous times on Ash.
“CPS just got involved back in I want to say September and they were getting so many calls,” she admitted on the podcast, saying they were due to her TikTok lives.
“I was tired of it so I told my mom you know what keep them until this goes away and they were still making calls, false accusations, saying this, saying that.
“They’ve interviewed me but they’ve said there’s no reason, they even tell my parents there’s no reason to take them from their mum, their mum is not an unfit parent.
“They’ve closed every single case that we’ve had.”
While the girls predominantly live with their grandparents, Ash said she still has legal custody of them.
Inmate hopper
The mum has also faced controversy for dating a string of prisoners after she divorced her daughters’ dad.
She explained she started TikTok when she became a prison wife, adding: “That’s why they call me the inmate hopper.”
Her daughter Evie revealed that most of the men her mum dated haven’t been nice and Ash admitted to bringing one of the men home to meet her kids once he was out of prison.
She denied taking her daughters to prison visitation to meet her other lovers, although images circulating online appear to show otherwise.
Internet sleuths have outed Ash for dating men who “murdered two girls” and been charged with sexual assault.
Every guy that I’ve dated has been with that charge. My husband has that charge.
Ash Trevino
Speaking about the sexual assault charges in one video, Ash said: “Are you sure he did that? Were you there when he did it? Did you see him do it?
“Why would I want y’all to keep bringing the victims up in here?
“Every guy that I’ve dated has been with that charge. My husband has that charge.”
But Ash’s pleas failed to silence her haters, who feel it is unsafe for her daughters to be around such violent criminals.
We have done stuff on two separate occasions, I didn’t know he was 19 at the time.

One wrote: “Just goes to show you….her kids need to be away from her. Cause her terrible taste in men is gonna get her kids hurt.”
“I’m actually sooo concerned for the safety of her daughters…like what about when they are free and in her home?” another chimed in.
Ash is still married and awaiting divorce from her last prison beau, but has since moved on with a ‘free’ man 13 years her junior.
Previously, Ash was also linked to fellow TikTok live streamer Santos, who is just 19 years old, although she claims he told her he was older.
“We have done stuff on two separate occasions, I didn’t know he was 19 at the time,” she said in the podcast.
Caught On Film
Ash was sacked from her job at a dental practice after flashing her nipple on a TikTok Live while drunk.
“The trolls from TikTok literally sent my owners a video of me showing my nip, so they fired me,” she explained.
There have also been clips that appear to show Ash using a sex toy while off camera as well as Santos licking the same toy.
Ash denies doing anything with the toy, claiming it was sitting by her bed when he picked it up.
She was also slammed on the last Christmas Day when she filmed her daughters leaving the house, so she could bring Santos over to make him brisket instead of staying with her own children,
Ash has also been slammed for leaving her daughters with a friend she met on TikTok while going out to a bar.
While they were at the house, the woman’s ex broke in and started a fight. When Ash eventually got home, she spent her time documenting it online before comforting her children.
Other controversies include Ash acting drunk while caring for her children and refusing to cook for them, while scoffing McDonald’s on camera.
Public Reaction
Despite calls for the mum to be banned from TikTok and have her children taken away, she seems too attached to the money her controversial life makes her.
On the podcast, Ash revealed she makes up to £10,000 in two hours on a live stream.
Her eldest daughter Hailey admitted she has lost friends due to her mum’s internet fame and both girls are now homeschooled.
“I guess they’re embarrassed of it, for being our friends and stuff I would say we lost a bit of friends,” she said.
Ash said there was ‘nothing she could do about it,’ and that the reason they had lost friends was because they were jealous.
Camilla asked if their mum felt any guilt for them losing friends and Ash replied: “No because it’s not even for that reason to be honest.
“I feel like some of their friends are jealous because of the life that they have they don’t go to school anymore.”
Hailey added: “I feel like I’d rather go back to my old life.
“Yeah we have money and I mean I don’t like being online publicly.
“That’s why I’m homeschooled too, in the beginning of school people noticed my mom and I’d go in the cafeteria to a lot of stares.”
She took zero accountability for anything. Her poor daughters looked so embarrassed.
YouTube User
Thousands of videos have been made with people discussing Ash’s antics on TikTok lives with many berating the mum.
Meanwhile, the YouTube podcast went viral with over 8 million views in just a week and people were not afraid to hold back on what they thought.
One wrote: “This is such a hard watch. She lied, didn’t answer questions, and didn’t take any accountability of the things she’s done.”
“Her being embarrassed about Santos being 19 but not embarrassed about her kids not having beds is crazy work,” another penned.
A third chimed in: “She literally couldn’t care less that they’ve lost friends because of her.”
While a fourth commented: “She took zero accountability for anything. Her poor daughters looked so embarrassed.”
