It comes after Ashley slammed Ricky Gervais for mocking terminally ill children in his new comedy show. In a new Netflix stand up special, 62-year-old Ricky takes aim at children who are battling terminal illness in his show titled Armageddon. In scenes from the show, Ricky jokes that he refers to children battling serious illness in hospital as “baldies” and also asked those who ask to see him via the Make-A-Wish Foundation “Why don’t you wish to get better?”.
While the jokes may have been intended to take aim at harsh topics, the slights have angered Ashley who has slammed Ricky and warned: “Some things are just not funny.” Taking to social media, the footballer made his feelings about Ricky very clear. He wrote via Instagram Stories: “I was actually a fan of Ricky Gervais but I had to turn off his stand-up the other day as I was watching it with family and there were multiple jokes about terminally ill children and especially kids with cancer.”
Ashley continued: “Some things are just not funny. Especially to those parents who are left behind. You can get cancelled for so many things these days but it’s ok to make a mockery of dying children. I’m actually so mad about this.”
Ashley went on to hint he was struggling to remain composed while writing about his thoughts and feelings. The former reality star warned he was “trying to remain as professional” as possible, adding: “I know Ricky makes jokes about having so much money that he doesn’t care about what us people think.”
