About Ashley Massaro
Ashley Marie Massaro (1979-2019) was an American model and inactive professional wrestler best known for her work with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and her appearance on Survivor: China. She first joined WWE after winning the Raw Diva Search 2005. After an initial rivalry with Vince's Devils, an alliance of female villains, Massaro became the valet for the WWE Tag Team Champions Paul London and Brian Kendrick. Her most high profile matches were a WWE Women's Championship match against Melina Perez at WrestleMania 23 and a Playboy Bunnymania Lumberjill match at WrestleMania XXIV. She left WWE in mid-2008.
Prior to joining WWE, Massaro was Miss Hawaiian Tropic USA in 2002 and Miss Hawaiian Tropic Canada. During her tenure in the company, she has appeared on the covers of several magazines, including the April 2007 issue of Playboy. She has made guest appearances on several television shows and performed in music videos.
Massaro grew up in Babylon, New York, where her brother and father competed in amateur wrestling. She received her Bachelor of Science degree in Communication with a minor in Business from the State University of New York.
Massaro previously dated fellow wrestler Matt Hardy. Afterward, she dated wrestler Paul London.
Massaro has one daughter. When her daughter became sick in mid-2008, Massaro asked for an early release from WWE to care for her.
In May 2008, Rolling Stone alleged that Massaro was employed by a Los Angeles escort agency, which was being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. On her MySpace page, Massaro said she was "beyond upset" and urged fans "don't believe it for a second." Although another bikini model named Ashley Massaro surfaced during the allegations, Rolling Stone stood by its story.
She has several tattoos, including a black and pink nautical star on the back of both of her elbows; a pink and red dragon surrounding kanji lettering that translates to 'Trust No One' going down the right side of her torso; symbols on the small of her lower back; and a butterfly on her right hip. She also has several piercings, including a 'Monroe' (a piercing near the upper lip that resembles a beauty mark) and 'Snakebites' (a piercing on each side of the lower lip).
TMZ reported "Ashley Massaro Died By Hanging In Apparent Suicide."
As of December 2023, she has amassed 144,000 followers on Instagram
