Ashley Conner is speaking out after her sister, Amanda Conner, was reportedly arrested and booked on a DUI charge.
“I did just wanna get on here and clear up a few things … in this whole situation involving my sister Amanda Conner and Ryan [Edwards], y’all definitely don’t have the whole story,” Ashley said in a video shared via Facebook according to The Ashley’s Reality Roundup on Tuesday, May 26. “There are large, like, very crucial elements to the story, to the situation, and not just that night.”
Ashley alleged there are “large pieces of information missing” that have not been made public. She claimed that she spoke to Amanda, who has been married to the Teen Mom alum since 2025, on the phone after Amanda and Ryan allegedly “had got into it.”
“They have been getting into it a lot here lately,” Ashley claimed. “And even to the point of him being physical with her, whooping her, choking her out.”
Ashley also claimed that Amanda and Ryan got into a bad altercation “a couple months ago” but Amanda apparently didn’t call the police.
“She lost consciousness multiple times and continued to be choked and strangled,” Ashley alleged, adding that her sister “probably definitely should have” reached out to the authorities.
Amanda and Ryan started dating in 2023 following his split from ex-wife Mackenzie Standifer. Amanda and Ryan welcomed daughter Presley, 15 months, in February 2025 and tied the knot seven months later. (In addition to Presley, Ryan is father to son Bentley, 16, whom he shares with ex Maci Bookout McKinney, and son Jagger, 10, and daughter Stella, 5, whom he welcomed with MacKenzie. Amanda also has a daughter from a previous relationship.)
Earlier this week, news broke that Amanda was arrested after Ryan allegedly called the cops on her. According to audio obtained by TMZ on Sunday, May 24, a husband called authorities with concerns that his wife had been using narcotics. The audio alleged that the wife would not submit to a drug test and had left with their 15-month-old daughter. The dispatcher did not share their names during the call.
The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office Jail in Tennessee confirmed to TMZ that Amanda was taken into custody following the call. She was charged with child abuse/neglect for allegedly driving under the influencer with a baby in the vehicle. Amanda was also charged for allegedly driving on the wrong side of the road.
Amanda’s bond was set for $16,000. Following her release, she is not allowed to contact the alleged child victim. Her court hearing is scheduled for June 3.
Ryan seemingly addressed the drama in a cryptic Facebook post on Monday, May 25.
“I will NOT be answering any questions,” he wrote. “Please keep us in your prayers.”
On Monday, Amanda and Ryan were spotted together after she was released from jail, per The Ashley’s Reality Roundup. The couple were seen at a gas station and Amanda wore an ankle monitor.
The outlet also reported that Amanda called the police on Monday because she wanted “to get her belongings from her husband” and claimed that “he has a history of physical abuse.” The outlet confirmed the police were sent to the pair’s home in response to the call, but no arrests were made.
