Ashely Benson has been in the industry for almost 20 years. Her big break came at the age of 14 when she landed the role of Abby Devereaux on Days of Our Lives. Following Days, Ashley worked steadily, but in one-off parts until Eastwick, which only lasted a year. Her biggest role to date has been Pretty Little Liars, which lasted seven seasons. Ashely did have two very high-profile relationships, one with Cara Delevingne and one with G-Eazy that just ended, but she said she tries very hard to keep her private life private. The reason I am summarizing all this for you in because most of us know Ashley?s name, but we accept that she is not a huge star, certainly not one we would expect to be targeted by paparazzi. But, according to Ashley, they pursue her so ferociously, there are days she doesn?t want to leave her house. While on Paris Hilton?s new podcast, This is Paris, Ashley said there?s nothing she can do about it and it?s making her hate the industry.
Ashley Benson is all too familiar with the downside of being in the public eye. After watching the Framing Britney Spears documentary, the actor said she relates to how the singer has been harassed by the paparazzi.
?That?s the one reason why I hate being in this industry because you get unwanted attention,? she told Paris Hilton on her podcast, This Is Paris.
?It?s funny because when people see [you] in photos, living a normal life, being outside a restaurant or whatever, [they think,] ?Oh, they called the paparazzi [on themselves] ?cause they want to be photographed,?? she explained.
?It?s like dude, I?m actually one of the ones who does not, will never [do that,]? Benson continued. ?I always look horrible in these photos.?
?It almost causes car wrecks,? she explained. ?They go through stoplights and all this stuff. They scream all this horrible stuff at you, and they just bother you to get a reaction. It gives me so much anxiety.?
?There [are] times [when] I just don?t even want to leave my house or feel like I can go on a hike or do whatever because for whatever reason, they just follow me and want to take my photo, Benson continued.

I remember seeing a video of a group of paparazzi photographing Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake as they walked to their car in a parking garage after seeing a movie. At the time the video was taken, there was no scandal in the Diaz/Timberlake relationship. But the photographers pursuit of them as they walked was relentless and I couldnt imagine how anyone could live like that. So when a celebrity says they don?t want to go about their daily activity because of the paps waiting for them, I get it. We?ve heard the horrible things paps say or how they try to scare them, mostly women, (i.e. Rebecca Romijn and Hilary Duff) just to get a reaction. It?s horrible. Yes, celebrity photos are part of the industry. We need them, the celebrities need them, the studios need them. But not like that. Not the paparazzi photos that endanger anyone or induce anxiety. We could make do with a few candid photos taken in safe spots and letting celebrities otherwise live their lives.
Ashley brought up the fact that she would never call the paps. I?ll admit that when I see pages of pap shots of B or C listers doing mundane things, my first thought is that they called the photographers themselves. But a lot of the celebrities who are constantly photographed complain about the paps. I wonder if their team contacts the press without their knowledge? I like Ashley just fine. And I understand that she and Cara made good gossip for a short time. But it surprises me she can?t even buy milk without being chased down. I believe she?s not calling the paparazzi but how do they know how to find her? Maybe she needs to weed through her friend list because I?m worried someone is making some money off going through her Day Planner.

I was going to make a ?they said it wouldn?t last and it didn?t? joke, but I honestly don?t remember many people caring enough about Cara Delevingne and Ashley Benson to even suggest that it wouldn?t last. Ashley and Cara began dating in 2018, but they became much more official last year, and they even attended a few events together and started appearing on each other?s social media. I got the feeling that Ashley was more reticent about going public with the relationship, as opposed to Cara who loves to live her life out loud. Well, it didn?t last. Sad.
Cara Delevingne and Ashley Benson are going their separate ways. The supermodel, 27, and the actress, 30, split in early April, multiple sources confirmed to PEOPLE.
One source says that Delevingne and Benson ended their relationship in April, adding that Delevingne has been spending time with friends including Margaret Qualley and her sister Rainey Qualley, as well as Kaia Gerber, while self-quarantining amid the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).
Cara and Ashley always had their ups and down before but its over now, the source tells PEOPLE. Their relationship just ran its course.?
Representatives for the former couple have not commented. Delevingne and Benson were first spotted together when they were photographed kissing at London?s Heathrow Airport in August 2018, and have been snapped being affectionate together many times since.

An April breakup? I wonder if this was another corona-split? It doesn?t actually sound like they were quarantined alone, just the two of them, which is probably a bad sign for their relationship too. It sounds like Ashley and Cara were quarantined with Margaret Qualley, Rainey Qualley and Kaia Gerber? The fk? Two of those young women dated Pete Davidson, one right after the other. And that sounds like a big group of ?friends? for a lockdown. God, can you imagine how annoying Cara is in lockdown?

I tend to ignore news about both of these women, quite honestly. I stopped caring about Cara Delevingne a while back, and Ashley Benson isn?t someone who regularly features in a lot of gossip stories. After doing a few minutes of internet research, I did discover that *some* people were paying attention to this though: apparently, Ashley and Cara are together now. They?ve been circling each other OR undercover-dating for several months now, and the just as the circumstantial evidence was building up, they were seen kissing each other at Heathrow.
Ashley Benson and Cara Delevingne were spotted kissing after traveling to the U.K. together. The Pretty Little Liars alum and model were photographed sharing multiple smooches on Tuesday after they landed at London?s Heathrow Airport. The pair was cuddled up while waiting at for a taxi, where they were seen exchanging kissing a number of times.
Delevingne, who wore cornrow braids with her tan jacket, grey sweatpants and sneakers, wrapped her arm around Benson before leaning in for a kiss or two. The Pretty Little Liar star flew in a white T-shirt, jean jacket and black pants with black sunglasses and a gold ?C? necklace, perhaps in honor of Delevigne. The pair traveled light with just one suitcase between them, namely a coveted Supreme X Rimowa suitcase which initially retailed for $1,800 but now sells for double that on the resell market.

People goes on to note that Ashley was recently seen canoodling with a mystery man, and that she?s dated several men in the past. Which proves nothing beyond the fact that she?s likely bisexual and dates men and women and doesn?t talk about her sexuality publicly. As for Cara? I?m actually a little bit happy that Cara ended the cycle of dating within the same group of famous lesbians/bisexuals. They were all breaking up with each other and dating each other?s exes for like the past two years. Cara brought someone new into the group. Whenever Ashley and Cara break up, Ashley will probably move on to St. Vincent or Kristen Stewart though. (Someone on Twitter said that Ashley was friendly with K-Stew back in the day, which is an interesting little bisexual sidenote.)

The more I hear from the women who starred on the series Pretty Little Liars, which ended this summer after seven seasons, the more I like them. Both Lucy Hale and Troian Bellisario have opened up about their battle with eating disorders and body image, and Sasha Pieterse of PLL has talked about how hurtful it was when she was mocked after gaining weight from a medical condition. Troian has also stated that all the makeup they wore on the show creates false expectations for women, and she’s called for Photoshopped ads to have warning labels. Add Ashley Benson, 27, to the former Pretty Little Liars cast who believes that Photoshop is harmful. Ashley did a new interview with Stylecaster in which she talked about body image, Photoshopping, and social media. She had a lot of opinions I agreed with so I wanted to cover this.
She’s taking a break from social media now that she doesn’t have to promote PLL
?To be honest, I don?t use social media a lot anymore. I Instagram sometimes, but I don?t really go on it. When I was on the show, we really had to be heavily into Instagram and Snapchat and whatever. I felt like it was taking up a lot of my time. I feel like when you?re always on social media, you?re living in this fake life. I?d rather just not look and enjoy my time.?
On how Photoshop creates unrealistic images
??PLL? had put up this poster and it was from our first season and it was completely crazy. Nobody looked like themselves. Even for magazine covers, they?ll Photoshop out a mole, make your boobs bigger or your waist four sizes smaller, and you?re like, ?That?s not even me.? You never know how it?s going to turn out because you have no control and you?re not editing the photos, but it sucks when you?re like, ?Wow. That?s a completely different person.??
She wants people to know her photos are edited, although she asks photographers not to change her body
?I always make sure to tell people, with any shit that I do or anyone else does, that unless it?s announced that it?s not Photoshopped, it?s Photoshopped. And don?t get down on yourself for not looking a certain way because A. It takes a lot of hair and makeup, a ton of good lighting, and after the shoot, it?s all this editing.?
She sees body diversity is improving but says body shaming is still a problem
?I hate that people still make those comments. I don?t think it should matter, the pressure of being a size zero, because everyone is talented. Everyone deserves a chance and the weight thing is too much pressure to put on anyone.?
A lot of the roles she sees for women are crap
?Women don?t really have a lot of good lead roles. There?s always some weird storyline with them. Half of the movie roles they bring me, I don?t even want to play this person. I don?t want to play a role like this because it?s not uplifting. It?s not positive. They?re just pointless fillers for men. I hope that it?s not always about a guy and it can be about a woman, but I mean, we?ll see.?
[From Stylecaster]
I like her! She had a lot of to-the-point things to say about sizeism, body image and social media. I also really like her perspective on the role of women in film especially. It’s a shame that women are secondary to men’s stories in Hollywood but it’s a fact. The system behind the stories that get mad is disgustingly corrupt and unequal as well, as we’ve seen in so much detail lately. Also, I agree with her about social media. I still use it but it’s a time suck and I try to be conscious of whether I’ll post a photo or activity to Facebook. (I’m old, I don’t use Instagram or Snapchat, all my friends are on Facebook.) I’ve given it up for months at a time but that’s where I get invited to parties and find events so it’s a key part of my social life. It becomes a kind of feedback loop in that you post about your parties and outings and look to see what your friends post. I should really find a way around that. Also, we all know that person who posts all their sh-t to Facebook/Instagram and makes their life seem wonderful. It’s entertaining in a way, but it can also be grating. Oh and of course even Facebook photos can be filtered and edited too, it’s so easy lately.
I checked Ashley’s Instagram and she does still post, especially paid content, but it’s usually only every handful of days which probably feels like a break for her. Someone commented on the post below that they thought Kevin Jonas was dead! We haven’t seen him in a while that’s true.
I had such an incredible experience last night at #RCLSeaBeyond. I have to say… eating in virtual reality was pretty insane. Thank you Royal Caribbean for having me ?? #ad

I guess Ashley Benson‘s career change isn’t going as well as I thought, because judging fromthe actress-turned-Instagram model’s new jacket, she’s not in a very goodmood. But I definitely am after seeing the leg show she was putting on. So I’m sorry, but I call BS on this whole “I hate everyone” thing. Because how […]

Because here’s the former actress-turned-model on the cover of Health Magazine, and that totally sounds like a real publication I’ve heard of before and not something somebody made up […]

Ever sinceAshley Benson gave up acting for Instagram modeling, her career’s really started to take off. And here she is doing some actual modeling for Ocean Drive Magazine‘s latest issue. And I have to say, I really approve of the career change. I never thought Ashley was much of an actress, but turns out, she’s […]

I really don?t know much about Ashley Benson, one of the stars of Pretty Little Liars. One of my big introductions to Benson was this Canadian magazine interview she did back in May 2015, where she boldly declared that she could never, ever date a high-profile actor like Angelina Jolie has. It struck me (as it struck many commenters) that Benson was saying that she was very much like Angelina Jolie (as in, she was just as famous), but Ashley could never date anyone like Brad Pitt because it would just get too intense, with the fame and everything. It was a funny interview and so my general feeling about her was ?bless her heart.? But Ashley has a new interview and I actually have a pang of genuine sympathy for her now.
She was told she was too fat: ?I was just told I was too fat for a part. I?m a size 2! I cried for 30 minutes, but then you have to let it roll off your shoulders or it could cause a serious eating disorder. A lot of people in this industry hear they need to lose weight more times than they should. It does make you stronger, though. Because if you let that affect you, you can?t be in this industry?you?d go crazy.?
She hates being Photoshopped: ?I saw photos from a shoot of myself just the other day and thought, What the hell? That doesn?t even look like me! I was so disappointed. I hate to think that girls are like, ?She?s so skinny! Her skin is so perfect!? I have pimples just like they do.?
Early stardom: ?I definitely see why some people can go a little nuts. Being successful at such a young age?and I feel I never got to that level, but I?ve seen friends who have?is very difficult because you?re being told yes a thousand times more than you?re being told no. You?re making a lot of money, there are a lot of temptations, and there are no consequences no matter what you?re doing.?
She?s not into the LA scene: ?It?s fun to have drinks with friends, but I would never want to do anything that would sabotage my career. I?d rather have dinner and drinks at someone?s house than go batshit crazy in public. It?s not my scene.?
[From Ocean Drive]
She was told she was ?too fat?? Stories like that always make me so angry about Hollywood. She?s NOT fat!! Of course, I kind of don?t believe she?s a size 2 either (she looks more like a size 6 to me, which is still NOT FAT in any world). I also wonder if people think she?s ?bigger? because she still has a baby-face. I thought she was maybe 19 or 20 years old, but she?s 26. Anyway, even though she?s a bit eye-rolly and bless-her-hearty, I feel sympathy for her. It?s impressive that she?s been in Hollywood since she was 14 years old and she still has a relatively calm, confident head on her shoulders.
