What was supposed to be just another night on the job for a club worker quickly turned into a nightmare after a violent altercation left her with serious facial injuries.
Ashley Plant, a club employee just trying to make it through her shift, ended up in the emergency room after trying to give another woman a simple piece of advice.
Now, she’s speaking out — not just about the attack, but about the struggle behind the scenes that most people never see.
A Simple Warning Turns Ugly in Seconds
Ashley Plant never expected a kind warning would lead to violence.
While working at the club, she noticed a woman—identified as Tyshayla Waters—dancing near an unattended drink perched precariously on the bar.
Trying to look out, Ashley leaned over and said, “Babygirl, this your drink?” When the woman confirmed it was, Ashley offered a word of advice: “Put a napkin over it, and never turn your back to your drink. People be drugging people.”
Instead of appreciation, she got an eye-roll.
Tension Builds Before Glass Comes Flying
Things seemed to move on, or so Ashley thought. She walked away to chat with the DJ and another dancer, mentioning how off the vibe in the club felt that night.
But just minutes later, the same woman approached her again, seemingly still angry over the drink comment.
“She asked me what I said, and I told her I wasn’t even talking to her,” Ashley recalled in a social media post.
“Next thing I know, she’s yelling that I’ve been talking s**t all night… and before I could even register what was happening, she hit me in the face with a glass.”
Bleeding and Confused, Ashley Heads to the Emergency Room
Ashley says the pain was immediate and intense. The glass—whether a bottle or a cup—is unclear, but the damage was very real.
Blood began pouring from her face, and she was rushed to the hospital.
The aftermath? A chipped tooth, stitches, and permanent scars she now has to live with.
Even more heartbreaking for Ashley is that her two children will have to see her this way.
“I Don’t Want My Kids to See Me Like This”
In a raw and emotional video shared online, Ashley expressed the pain behind the physical wounds.
“I’m upset, but I’m more so mad because I don’t want my kids to see me like this,” she said.
What hurts even more is the feeling of being stuck. Ashley opened up about her past criminal record, which she says continues to block her from moving forward despite applying for jobs and passing interviews with flying colors.
“I only work at the club because I’ve got two kids to feed,” she said. “Nobody wants to give me a chance.”
Trying to Do Better, But Still Facing Roadblocks
Ashley has been trying to turn things around. She’s been applying to jobs, trying to get out of the club life for good.
“Lord knows how hard I’ve been trying to stay away from this, but I gotta get money somehow,” she shared.
This violent incident felt like a blow not just to her face but to her spirit.
“She could’ve just asked me to fight if that’s what it was. Hitting me with glass? That was unnecessary.”
Online Reactions Pour In
After sharing her experience online, Ashley received a flood of support from people who were shocked and outraged by what happened.
Many praised her for speaking up and staying strong in the face of adversity, while others condemned the violent reaction to what was clearly meant to be a caring warning.
What Happens Now?
As the video of the incident continues to circulate on social media, many are calling for accountability and questioning how something like this could happen in a club setting without immediate intervention.
So far, there has been no official word on any legal consequences for Tyshayla Waters.
Ashley, meanwhile, is focusing on healing—physically, emotionally, and for the sake of her kids.
