‘He Ain’t S–t!’: ‘Black Ink Crew: Chicago’ Fans Urge Ashley to Divorce Don After New Twerking Snapchat Video Surfaces

It looks like Don Brumfield and his wife Ashley Pickens may be done for good.

“Black Ink Crew: Chicago” viewers witnessed the couple go head-to-head on the latest episode after Pickens caught Brumfield getting flirty with strippers behind her back.

The not-so-happily married couple have been experiencing a slew of marital issues this season. Brumfield said he was tired of his wife consistently reminding him of his past infidelities and mistakes every time the two of them argued. Pickens, on the other hand, expressed how hurt she was from his prior affairs.

The Feb. 5 episode depicted a follower sending Pickens a Snapchat video of a random woman twerking on her husband at a nightclub. According to the mother of two, Brumfield was apparently touching all over the woman’s hips as she whispered into his ear.

Pickens said in her confessional that she was devastated by the footage. “I couldn’t even look Don in his face,” she said. “I was scared of what I may say to him. I didn’t want the kids to see something that could haunt them for the rest of their lives. So I just quietly removed them from the house.”

After moving out of their family home with their two sons, Pickens returned and confronted her husband about the video. Brumfield defended himself, suggesting that the woman who twerked on him was “fanned out.”

Pickens still scolded her husband for his actions and felt what he did was wrong. “Black Ink Crew: Chicago” viewers agreed with Pickens and encouraged her to divorce Brumfield for good.

“She be doing her thing ✊🏾 school, taking care of her kids , working on herself, being there for don , and fighting off chicks πŸ’ͺ🏾 She is a strong woman πŸ™ŒπŸΎ Poor baby damn. Divorce him girl”

“Sis that nigga will never change! Get a divorce or continue to get embarrassed n cheated on. At this point sis just go!”

“He tried to make her out like she’s crazy, meanwhile she has receipts in the tuck. He ain’t s–t! Girl leave his a–!”

“Pack up and leave and don’t go back! Let him see his kids but divorce him and do wuts best fa you!”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual β€” and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
