Digital influencer Ashley Grayson was sentenced to 10 years in prison for hiring someone to murder her “rival”.
Ashley Grayson, a 35-year-old digital influencer, was sentenced to 10 years in prison after planning to murder her professional “rival”. She traveled to Dallas, Texas, to “discuss a business opportunity”.
Grayson arranged to meet with a woman she had previously worked with and her husband to discuss the proposal. The influencer, along with her husband, offered $20,000 each to eliminate a third woman who had criticized her online.
The murder plot began in August 2022. According to the Indy100 website, Grayson held a video call with her accomplices and stated that she wanted her rival dead “immediately,” offering an additional $5,000 if the plan was carried out within a week.
The influencer was sentenced to 10 years in prison in July 2023. Her husband was acquitted of the charges.
The conflict between Grayson and her rival, who lives in Mississippi, began in 2021 when the rival opened an online store similar to the influencer’s.
“This was a 21st-century crime, where rivalries and online disputes spilled over into the real world,” said prosecutor Reagan Fondren.
