On August 19, 2023, the Manhattan Criminal Court conducted his arraignment. After that, he spoke to The New York Post, where he said, “I was disappointed. I love her. I want to marry her.

I never had someone that kept me grounded.” Ashley boarded a bus from Atlanta to meet the love of his life, with whom, as per him, he had a relationship.

During a New York Post interview, Ashley Arbour said, “She’s like most nurturing, like she is me except she is a woman. She is truly the only one that understands me. I know she knows I don’t mean any harm. I’d never hit a woman. I would not harm her — no, absolutely not.”
When asked whether he has ever attended a Taylor Swift concert, he answered, “I have not been that lucky. I’m of sound mind. I was a little crazier when I was younger.”
Arbour continued by reasoning his behavior in trespassing on Taylor Swift’s apartment, saying, “I’m a very determined fellow sometimes to my detriment. You gotta go for it when it comes to love, because I don’t want to live in regret. That’s the worst. You are just sitting there like, I could have done this; I should have done this. It’s a black hole.”
He concluded, “I love you Taylor. I want to spend the rest of my life making you happy, making you laugh, and making up for the — what’s that word you use? Foolish behavior I expelled when I was 17. I love you.”
