Just days after a series of hurtful comments were launched on social media, more swipes have been taken at Alex Nation by her former sister-in-law.
Commenting on an Instagram photo posted by Ashy Smith – the girlfriend of Nation’s ex-husband Joel Porter – Nation’s former sister-in-law Kimberly Grace wrote, “I am so relieved my nephew finally has a loving, attentive, maternal figure at home.”

Grace then mentioned Nation’s young son Elijah, saying, “‘That kid has a fiercely protective family, & someone insincere would never get our tick of approval… We know & love you Ash… You know you’re in the circle of trust.”
Responding to Grace’s comment, Smith wrote, “I would never want to be seen that I’m treading on toes! Elijah already has a mum that loves him and he loves her. My main priority is to love and protect him, and to give him another positive role model in his life. I just want to provide a safe haven and bubble where he’s living a normal life doing fun kids things with not a concern in the world and is completely unaware of what else is going on!”

Appearing on the 2016 season of The Bachelor earlier this year, Nation spoke often about her son and the realities of being a single mother to Richie Strahan and other women inside the house. But according to Porter’s family, Nation is not all that she says when it comes to parenting and has been dogged by negative comments from both the family and fans of the show since the show aired.
But 25-year-old Nation proved her power when she was asked about the family dramas, telling The Daily Mail, “Ash is a great girl. It’s disappointing that there’s stuff out there like that.”

The aspiring model also said she was happy for Smith to be in her son’s life, as it was clear she was “a good role model.
“My little boy is everything to me,” she said, adding, “I know who I am and I know what kind of mother I am.”
Ah families. You can’t live with ’em, can’t live without ’em.

Love the response from the girlfriend. The sister needs to shut up and step down. Relationships end all the time; there is no need for families to "take sides", just let it be! I know my husbands mother and sisters would be just so bitchy if we ever broke up out of some weird, misguided sense of "loyalty"(to be fair, his mother already hates me, she just pretends she doesn't!).
If I were the brother I wouldn't be allowing the aunt to spend unsupervised time with the nephew, parental alienation is illegal (not to mention abusive!) and can actually be used to deny custody if proven. And putting it in writing makes it pretty easy to prove!
Why are you giving this woman oxygen? If you didn't report the comments they would stay in a small circle and she wouldn't get the "publicity" she so clearly wants.
