Fans of the show are calling Ashley’s character a “bully” for trying to take control over her father’s business Jabot.

“Ashley used to be one of my favorite characters,” one tweeted. “I’m glad Eileen left the show because I want Ashley gone. They have made her character a horrible witch. John Abbott would despise the hateful traitor she’s become. She doesn’t deserve to be an Abbott. She’s Ashley Davis!”
