People won’t know where the choices they take lead to which path in their life. Likely, with the case of Ashley Jacobs, after the heavy impact of her father’s death, she studied and became a nurse working for a hospital and then transitioning to home healthcare.
With a reputed career as a nurse, let's find how much money she earns!
Net Worth Of Ashley Jacobs
With her unyielding efforts in her career as a star of Southern Charm, she falls into having her fortune in some six-digit figure. TheThings.com noted Ashley to have an estimated net worth of $100,000, which is also accumulated through her work as a nurse, which earns her an average of $60k annually.
First and foremost, Ashley is a registered nurse who has been working as a nurse in hospitals and doing some home healthcare for several years now. Being a nurse was her dream; after her father’s death when she was just 13 years old impacted her greatly. Later, graduating from nursing school, she first started her nursing works at the Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital in California, following on a transition to in-home healthcare in 2014.
After her moving into the town of Charleston, with her link to Thomas, she got the chance to star on Bravo’s Southern Charm and appeared on the show in its fifth season. Since the end of the show's fifth season, Ashley continued on to live in Charleston while working as what she had been doing for living prior, nursing.
She then moved back to Santa Barbara, her native, after she split with Thomas and spent her hard time working as a nurse there, which was even honored with an award during 2018.
Additionally, she also got some modeling opportunities on the side.
Ashley Jacobs Had Weight Loss During Southern Charm
When Ashley Jacobs first came on the show Southern Charm, she was quite a buffed-up and had a healthy weight. But her starring in the show left her with a huge scar emotionally as well as physically.
In July 2018, the nurse, when asked about her health in one of the episodes by the show’s host, Andy Cohen, explained her excess weight loss to be the result of “pressure of filming,” which made her eat less due to being excessively nervous. Further, she added, her tumultuous feud with Ravenel’s ex and other accusations made against Ravenel at the time to be of another reason causing her weight loss following by suffering of anxiety due to Thomas’ sexual assault scandal.
Thankfully, after her split with Thomas in August 2018, she was followed with other great news of gaining 10lbs. She took the happy occasion by announcing her weight gain via Instagram Live that same month, saying that she had been working out to help herself pick up again after her depressive days on the show. She said, “I’ve put on 10 lbs. so that’s good. My weight’s getting up there.”
While suffering a huge weight loss, she also posted snaps of herself in a bikini while enjoying her time in the pool, as she attached a lengthy statement addressing her weight loss as well. She said,
“I was going to say in my caption something like, ‘Happy Summer Solstice’ and turn commenting off. But then I thought, ‘who I am I kidding?’ Turn commenting off so I don’t have to read all the comments on how unhealthy I look? How about I be honest with all of you and address this weight concern once and for all.”
She then went on to explain how her time away from her friends, family, nursing license, and being in the reality TV show made her drop a “lot of weight in a matter of months.” Ashley added her improper “coping mechanism” during the situation at times of putting herself under excess pressure led her to neglect her health and fitness, which eventually ended up in her losing some weight. She said, “I’ve learned the hard way that you need to ask for help when things aren’t going well,” as she believed things would get better for her soon.
She concluded, saying,
“I’m allowing comments but if you could please try to refrain from saying, ‘Eat a cheeseburger, you’re on drugs, you have an eating disorder, or you’re way too skinny’, I’d appreciate it because TRUST ME, I know… I’ve heard it all and it doesn’t help. I appreciate everyone’s concern and hope you can all support me. I know how far I have strayed from who I used to be, and could be once again. I’m committed to choosing my health and well-being first.”
Previously, while on the show, Ashley was also very much criticized by her thin physical appearance in the public eye, to which she slammed down with a lengthy caption on her social media account while saying,
“If there’s one thing I’ve learned, and can share with all of you- Learn to love yourself and screw what anyone else has to say about you!”
The post was well-received by her fans as well as critics, as one of her fans asked, “When you started filming, you were still skinny. Why the extreme weight loss?” The comment was responded by Ashley, with some professional and educational words, as she wrote,
“My health. Hyperlipidemia. Both my father and his father died of massive heart attacks at a young age. I know my medical history and past medical history better than anyone else! I’m doing all I can do to make sure I live a long, healthy life.”
As for her daily life management to stay that much thin, she credited her balanced healthy lifestyle as one of the factors, writing, “I do workout, but diet is everything! I cut out all sugar, dairy and I eat very few carbs.”
