Add Page Six on Google Jesse Ridgway put his wife Ashley Ridgway’s family members on blast for their reaction to the couple’s pregnancy termination.
“Her family has been nowhere to be found,” the YouTuber wrote via Facebook on Monday. “Some even going as far as joining in on the bandwagon hate PUBLICLY, kicking her while she’s down at her lowest point.”
The duo, notably, have been at the brunt of rampant online backlash — including death threats — since deciding to abort their pregnancy last week over a Down syndrome diagnosis.
“She has received text messages from her family accusing me of abuse and that I’m brainwashing her,” the 33-yer-old claimed, alleging that Ashley’s loved ones “issu[ed] ultimatums that she needs to LEAVE [him] IMMEDIATELY.”
He dubbed their “downright disgusting gossip and s–t-talking” comments “audacious s–t that will have your head-spinning because of the delusion and lack of consideration.”
Without clarifying which family members he was referring to, Jesse added, “[They speak] as if she’s not even blood. No backbone, just cowardice as they accuse me of making the decision and controlling/manipulating her over all the years of being together.”

The content creator, who married Ashley in October 2025, continued, “We’ve put up with a lot of s–t, but when it’s your own family exercising their bitterness and turning their backs when it matters the most, it really reveals everything about their character.
“When you’re MIA, complicit and offensive during the hardest times of our life then you will never deserve to be there when it’s good,” he declared.
Jesse dubbed Ashley “the sweetest and strongest woman” he knows, insisting, “The last thing she deserves is to be treated this way.”
He included the lengthy caption alongside footage of his partner receiving a care package from his parents.
The “shattered” 31-year-old teared up in the “sweet” footage taken “the evening after” her procedure.
Jesse, who goes by McJuggerNuggets online, revealed the couple’s decision to terminate on June 3 after their unborn child tested positive for Trisomy 21, meaning there was a high chance the baby would have Down syndrome.
