All right. I'm very excited about this guest. I'm excited about most of my guests because I genuinely have an interest in them before I asked them to come on.

Ashley Leachon is here. You have probably seen this woman on incredible TikTok fame. BuzzFeed is obsessed with her. I think they've done every story under the son on Ashley.

And why you know Ashley is she is a complete, I mean, she looks exactly like Taylor Swift.

And you're here today to talk about it for better or worse.

Yes.

For better or worse, you look exactly like Taylor Swift.

That is a compliment.

It really is. And I'll forever take it a compliment. Like take it as a compliment. And I'm also, I'm glad you're here because this is the first time you've really told your full story. Because there's been a lot of, well, first of all, I mean, the amount of hate you get is just unbelievable. I mean, no person should have to endure that. And yet you have,
