She talked more about her mum later on in the podcast, sharing: “My mum was genuinely America’s biggest sweetheart. She was genuinely an angel. She didn’t cuss, she didn’t think badly of anyone, not even Killian. She gave him the benefit of the doubt and they had a good relationship too.”
Ashley then went on to address all the speculation that’s been happening online about how she passed, as some people have claimed it was from plastic surgery that had gone wrong.
She clarified: “I’ve been seeing online speculation of how she passed, which I haven’t loved because we still don’t have answers. So my mum had a neck surgery two weeks before she passed and she was found asleep. So we don’t have answers of what happened yet, we’re still waiting on that. There’s a lot of speculations on how she passed and none of them are accurate because we don’t have an answer.”
According to her obituary, Tracy passed away age 50 on May 26th 2026 in the “comfort of her home”, and was described as a “vibrant spirit touched the lives of many.” She also helped other after her death through a donation, with the obituary saying: “Through the gift of eye donation, she helped improve the eyesight of four people, including two with glaucoma and two with cataracts.”
