The tension between Ashley and Julius has been simmering for a while now on Love After Lockup season 6. From shaky trust to confusing expectations, their connection has been rocky from the start. Ashley hoped for a real relationship after Julius' release, but Julius seemed hesitant from day one. What started as a hopeful reunion quickly spiraled into miscommunication, loyalty issues, and growing resentment.

By the time we reach episode 5, things finally hit a breaking point. After another intense argument, Ashley lashes out, saying,

“He’s acting like we never had anything, that we’re nothing.”

The latest confrontation shows just how far apart they are when it comes to what their relationship really means.

Their argument spiraled into a full-on emotional showdown, with harsh words, door slams, and accusations flying. And if you thought it couldn’t get messier, think again—there’s talk of loyalty, lies, and even casting a spell. Here's how it all went down on Love After Lockup.


Ashley and Julius' reality check on Love After Lockup

Ashley was not holding back her feelings. From the start of the scene, it was clear that the tension between her and Julius had reached a breaking point.

“He’s acting weird as f… Like I don’t even. His looks at this point don’t even matter anymore,”

Ashley said, visibly frustrated.

Julius didn’t seem eager to chase after her either. When a producer asked if he was going to follow Ashley, Julius casually replied,

“My legs hurt right now.”

As Love After Lockup viewers know, relationships on the show are never simple. But this time, Ashley made it clear:

“We’re not in a f…… relationship? Like are you f……. Serious?”

Julius says Ashley is living in a fantasy

While Ashley saw a relationship, Julius had a very different view. Speaking to the cameras, he said,

"She’s getting confused like. She built in a fantasy in her head.”

The more he spoke, the clearer it became that Julius wasn’t buying into Ashley’s version of their story. He made it sound like Ashley was creating something out of nothing, making her feel even more betrayed.

Ashley said,

“He makes me look like a crazy b*tch that’s just obsessed with him who just got his name tattooed or something,”

This clash between reality and fantasy is something Love After Lockup audiences have certainly seen before, but rarely with this level of rawness.


Things escalate behind closed doors on Love After Lockup

Ashley wasn’t done yet. She marched straight to Julius’ door and knocked, ready for a confrontation. Julius opened with a casual,

“Hey!”

But Ashley wasted no time setting the tone:

“No, you’re not going to sit here and embarrass me cause you’re lying.”

Julius tried to defend himself, saying,

“I’m not trying to play you.. I’m really not.”

But Ashley wasn’t convinced. She hit back,

“My friends were right about you.”

As the argument got deeper, Julius laid it out bluntly:

“I’m trying to tell you what reality is. Reality is that it’s not a relationship. I was trying to see what kind of a person you were. But you’re building a fantasy in your head Ashley.”

The scene captured exactly why Love After Lockup remains such a gripping watch.


Accusations fly and secrets spill on

If you thought the confrontation was over, think again. Ashley wasn’t holding anything back.

She declared,

“Listen, I’m about to put a f…… spell on you, I’m about to curse your ass. You are the biggest liar that there is,”

Meanwhile, Julius hit back, questioning Ashley’s expectations:

“What did you do for me when I was locked up?”

When Ashley admitted that she didn't do anything, Julius responded,

“So why are you acting like I owe you something. Why are you acting like I owe you my loyalty.”

The final nail in the coffin came when Ashley asked,

“Is there another person?”

Julius, after a pause, confirmed,

“Yes… Yes.”

At that point, Ashley delivered a parting shot that summed up her anger and disappointment:

“Enjoy your time before you have to go back to Jail. You’re a piece of sh*t who doesn’t have anything to offer to anyone.”

Love After Lockup season 6, episode 5 didn’t just deliver drama—it showed the raw breakdown of trust, expectations, and reality between Ashley and Julius. And based on how things ended, it looks like this story is far from over.
