Ashley Ogle Embarks on "SweetAshley Weekend" in PMB, Celebrating Newfound Freedom and Fan Connection Peter Maritzburg, South Africa — Reality TV star Ashley Ogle, a breakout contestant from Big Brother Mzansi Season 5, is poised to host her highly anticipated "SweetAshley Weekend" in PMB (Pietermaritzburg), marking a pivotal moment in her post-show journey. The event, centered on her signature "Doek on Fleek" meet-and-greet, symbolizes her liberation from past constraints and a deeper bond with her devoted fanbase, the "Ashes Angels."
A Celebration of Autonomy Ogle’s rise to fame was punctuated by her abrupt exit from Big Brother Mzansi, where she was voted out by fellow housemates—a departure that galvanized her supporters to rally behind her. Now, the "SweetAshley Weekend" represents her reclaiming agency, with fans flooding social media to promote ticket sales and share tributes. Clips on TikTok and Instagram showcase her preparing for the event, including a recent reel teasing her PMB appearance with the caption: "With or without them, we rise".
Controversy and Clarity Amid the excitement, a GoFundMe campaign organized by a third party—reportedly linked to celebrity chef "Chef Delish"—has sparked debate. While the fundraiser, launched in February 2025, aimed to support Ogle’s post-show endeavors, the star has since clarified she did not solicit the initiative and emphasized her self-sufficiency. "Ashley’s focus is on building her brand authentically," a source close to the influencer noted, as fans doubled down on supporting her official events instead.
Fan Frenzy and Future Plans The "Ashes Angels" have mobilized across platforms, sharing hashtags like #DoekOnFleek and #SweetAshley to amplify the PMB gathering. Ogle’s Instagram fan page, which chronicles her fashion-forward looks and candid moments, recently teased additional appearances in Pretoria, hinting at a broader tour. Meanwhile, TikTok videos of her discussing ice cream ventures—a nod to her entrepreneurial streak—have further cemented her relatability.
A Weekend of Unity At the heart of "SweetAshley Weekend" is Ogle’s desire to connect intimately with supporters, many of whom admire her resilience. "She stayed true to herself even when the house turned against her," remarked one fan on Twitter. The event will feature styling sessions centered on her iconic headwrap looks ("doeks"), personal storytelling, and meet-and-greets—a testament to her mantra: "Your vibe attracts your tribe".
As Ogle steps into this new chapter, her message is clear: authenticity reigns supreme. With the "Ashes Angels" in her corner, the PMB event isn’t just a celebration—it’s a declaration of independence.
