Post Malone is an incredibly private guy, but the real, shocking truth about his ex-girlfriend has been exposed. We know that, now, Post is engaged to a woman named Jamie, and they have a two-year-old daughter with the initials DDP. But why and how did his last relationship end?
On June 18, 2024, Yahoo Entertainment republished an article from The Blast with the explosive headline, “Post Malone’s Three-way Legal Drama With Ex And Law Firm Extended By 2 Months.” All those numbers sound confusing, so let’s get to the bottom of this.
RELATED: Why Post Malone Hides His Daughter
The Blast reported that Post “failed to settle with his ex-girlfriend’s previous lawyers.” So, who is she, and why were lawyers involved?
Ashlen Wanted to Be Paid After the Breakup
While The Blast first described Post’s ex as “his former flame,” they soon revealed that her name is Ashlen Diaz. They also dropped a bombshell about the “legal battle” that Post and Ashlen had been “embroiled in.” If you don’t know about this, it’s unbelievable.
Post’s nasty breakup with Ashlen became more twisted when she “sued him” for allegedly mistreating her. Shockingly, The Blast wrote that Ashlen also “wanted to be paid” after she “initially broke up” with Post in 2018.
The Blast confirmed that Post and Ashlen “were never married,” but she still hired a law firm called Martorell Law to represent her in a “palimony suit.” One of the lawyers who represented Ashlen, Eduardo Martorell, made shocking allegations to the media.
Eduardo alleged that Ashlen complained about the mistreatment “she suffered during her relationship” with Post. He also claimed to have “hard and detailed” evidence of the “crimes” Post committed against his ex.
Eduardo said that Ashlen allegedly provided him “with photographs and text messages” from Post that prove his “crimes.” Shockingly, Eduardo also alleged that Post attempted to use his power “to blackball his ex from the industry.”
Post Never Commented on the Relationship
The Blast confirmed that Ashlen’s roots “can reportedly be traced back to Spain.” She’s a “native of Dallas, Texas,” and her birthday is “December 19, 1995.”
SK Pop by Sportskeeda reported that Post and Ashlen began dating “in 2015.” They learned from sources that Ashlen “reportedly knew [Post] before he got renowned.” In other words, she knew Post before he hit the big time with his “breakthrough track, White Iverson.”
According to SK Pop, Ashlen was a “music promoter.” She trusted in Post’s “abilities” enough to “book a couple of his nightclub gigs” when he was “struggling early in his career.”
SK Pop wrote that Post kept his relationship “private” with Ashlen “until December 2015.” That’s when Post dropped a bombshell online to wish Ashlen a happy birthday—but that’s all he disclosed.
As SK Pop wrote, Post and Ashlen “never confirmed or commented on the nature of their relationship.” Basically, the only evidence anyone else ever had about Post and Ashlen was that she “was frequently seen around Post during public events.”
Post Lives Like a Rockstar
In November 2018, Us Weekly published an exclusive that Post and Ashlen had broken up “after three years together.” One of their sources claimed to know the real truth.
The source told Us Weekly that Post and Ashlen had ended it within “a month or two” of the report being published. At the time, Ashlen was 22, and Post was 23. But that wasn’t Us Weekly’s only source with inside information.
Two other sources allegedly gave their sides of the story to Us Weekly, and these sources offered different theories.
One source claimed that Ashlen “broke up with” Post. However, the other insider claimed that the “split was mutual,” and Post appeared to be over it because he was “busy recording a new album in Utah.”
Us Weekly’s exclusive on Post’s breakup with his ex did seem to confirm what SK Pop reported: that Ashlen “supported” Post “in the early days of his career.” One of Us Weekly’s sources claimed to have inside knowledge about how Ashlen and Post’s work and personal lives came together.
The source said, “Ashlen booked Post a show in Dallas before he was big.” Shockingly, the source added that Ashlen didn’t know “what she was getting herself into.” Then, they made a shocking allegation about Post.
Although the source claimed back in 2018 that Post “[loved] Ashlen and [cared] about her,” they also dropped the bombshell that Post lived his life like “he’s a rock star. He’s still so young.”
The source also alleged that Ashlen was “pretty upset” about her breakup with Post. They claimed that Ashlen dropped bombshells about her “relationship drama” on Instagram, but the posts had been deleted.
Ashlen Accused Post Malone of Cheating
Post is notoriously private, but he’s been shockingly candid in some interviews, including an appearance on The Breakfast Club back in 2016. Us Weekly reported that Post dropped a bombshell about how “his career put a strain” on his relationship with his ex.
Post told The Breakfast Club that it was “tough” finding a “balance” between his dedication to his music and “dedicating time to Ashlen.” Post added that he wanted “to do as good music” as he could. That meant he was “real busy” and probably too busy for her.
Us Weekly did report that Post was “spotted cuddling with a mystery woman on a yacht in St. Tropez” after he split up with Ashlen. However, the outlet confirmed that the “PDA was part of a music video shoot.” But was that the real truth?
After their breakup, a thread on the Post Malone subreddit discussed Ashlen confirming a “breakup with Post.” The OP reported that Ashlen alleged Post had “cheated” on her, and she hinted at “the St. Tropez incident.”
One of the first commenters wrote, “Post also finally unfollowed her on Twitter.” Another user posted a screenshot of alleged text messages with Ashlen. The question was, “@ashcash, are you and Post still dating?”
Ashlen’s answer was short but not sweet. Her alleged reply was, “Nope.” When asked if she broke up with Post “because he cheated on you?” Ashlen replied, “What do you think.”
On the subreddit, a user wrote, “Man, I feel sorry for her.” They claimed that Ashlen “moved out to LA” for Post and that the girl he allegedly cheated with looked “exactly like Ashlen.” Still, there was no further proof on the subreddit that the “St. Tropez incident” was for real and not just a video shoot, as Us Weekly reported.
Post Faught Back Against the Lawsuit
So, where does that leave the “three-way” legal drama between Post, Ashlen, and Eduardo’s law firm? That’s where this story gets even more twisted.
According to SK Pop, Post responded to Eduardo’s lawsuit in March 2022. Post alleged there was no “indication of physical assault” against Ashlen, and it was all “speculative, vague, and/or uncertain.” He also threw major shade at Eduardo’s legal tactics.
Post “slammed” the law firm for acting “frivolous, unreasonable, or without foundation.” Still, shockingly, SK Pop wrote that Eduardo and his legal team were so convinced that Post was guilty of the allegations that they were expecting “reimbursement from [Post] in the amount of about $800,000.” What exactly went wrong?
The Blast confirmed that Post and Ashlen allegedly settled her palimony suit privately “without giving the law firm that represented her its cut.” That’s why Martorell Law sued Post and Ashlen two years ago, alleging they breached “the conditions of the palimony agreement.”
Eduardo released a lengthy statement calling Post “one of the world’s most powerful celebrities” with a “documented history” of mistreating “his romantic partner” physically and emotionally. Eduardo alleged that Post used “his power and money” to “deprive” Ashlen of “legal representation.”
He also alleged that Post “blatantly” interfered with “a contingency fee” that robbed Eduardo’s law firm from “being paid.” Eduardo added that Post was “[getting] away with it scot-free.”
The Lawsuit Is Still Ongoing
The Blast reported that Ashlen “made off with $350K” from Post in return for dropping her palimony lawsuit. As of June 2024, Martorell Law is still accusing Post “of turning [Ashlen] against it and ensuring she dropped the firm as her legal representative.”
Although Martorell Law sued Post and Ashlen “for breaching the conditions of their palimony agreement in 2022,” The Blast reported that the law firm “informed the court” last year that they “had settled” the lawsuit. But since then, “negotiations” have allegedly fallen apart.
The Blast reported in June that negotiations had “failed… between the parties.” The next hearing between Post’s legal team and Eduardo’s firm was scheduled for August “at the courthouse in Inglewood, California.”
