| Isn’t she the woman who got all the press way, way long ago (during the LNS/ Smith Point days) for getting Set up by her own grandmother to some old millionaire and then getting engaged on his yacht, all in again, off again. It was a regular item in the Reliable Source back in the day. The entire situation was so gross. Set up by your own grandmother to one of her friends?!!!! |

Nice try, are you Ashley? She’s a superspreader. She knew she was sick and had the party anyway. SMH. |

Anyone who actually violated the law and contracted the virus has no one to blame but themselves. To be pissed that the person you engaged in criminal activity with wasn't an honest person is a little hypocritical. Everyone on the guest list needs to be fined some huge amount, and that money needs to be donated to provide corona relief for innocent victims. |

What a fact-free post. Tell us how many she spread it to then, since the article only said there were rumoured positives. |

+1 NP. The article says no one from the ballet attended or performed at the party. And it's clear that the ballet had zero input, approval, anything. This was entirely this one foolish woman's idea.I hope that any subsequent recycling of this incident does not reflect badly on the dance company because none of it is on them. Total agreement with you PPs above regarding the arts. What some posters here, those saying "food etc first" are forgetting is that actual human beings with families, rents, mortgages, and yes, food bills, work for arts organizations. I think people see only actors, dancers, and well-known solo musicians and think they ARE the performing arts, period. But the reality is that there are many families supported by the arts--performers, yes, and also management staffs, design and costume staffs, whole orchestras of not-famous but steadily working musicians, lighting techs, sound techs, concession workers, restaurant workers at some theaters, cleaning crews, staff and teachers for dance and theater programs...and on and on. These are not magical jobs that only appear when a performance is taking place, but full-time jobs and careers for many. Those employees are now just as unemployed as anyone who works in a factory or store or bar. And their families have exactly the same needs as any family. So if you'd raise money to help any out of work employee, then you can also raise money to help arts organizations that employ many people, all of whom are out of work and likely to be out of work for a very, very long time. The benefit to the overall community of the performing arts, in terms of making us as human beings a bit more thoughtful, wiser, and happier -- that's priceless, even if you yourself don't take advantage of it. But even if you personally dislike or don't get anything out of dance or theater or concerts, it's worthwhile to understand that those things do employ people. |

You can get plenty of news content for free. If you miss out on a few articles about parties, you are not entitled to them. How many journalists and photographers do you think have lost their job, because their work is "non-essential"? But at least you had a chance to feel entitled. |

Candace must have taken down the posts about being sick. There is a post about a Virtual Summer Pop Up from 6 weeks ago, but that's about it. |

They should, but do they? It would require functioning reciprocal agreements between the department of health of the two cities or states, which might not be happening. What if those positives don't end up showing up in the data for either city because of this? Only one new positive since the 18th in the neighborhood that includes Ashley's residence, and I know of 1 person who tested positive in that same time frame in that neighborhood. This could explain the eerily light color on that side of town in the dc doh coronavirus map, AND lead those residents to behave less responsibly. |

 Not Ashley. Don’t even live in the DC area. Silly me for caring about accurate representations in journalism.

| It's amusing that rich people think they are immune to the virus. |

It was in her instastories. One was about Ashley sending her lunch delivered from her favorite restaurant. I only remember bc I was checking her account based on the email that someone was sick and I am nosy sometimes. |

Let’s be honest, people of all income levels think they’re immune to this virus. Not that compelling an angle for the story. |
