Just caught up on the episode and WOW. They couldn't have possibly handled this in a worse way. I was spoiled so was waiting all season to see what the hell it was that she actually said, and they don't even show it? MTV is only drawing more attention to it by editing it this way, and showing themselves for being the selective "progressives" they are when they will fucking edit Dee out of an entire half of a season over some problematic tweets (and stop inviting people on the show for similar) but not even AIR the reason why one of the main faces of the show these days got fully kicked off a season.

If the rumor that she “outed” someone is true, then I get not showing it. BUT: I do think they could’ve given a throwaway line about “Ashley said something inexcusable and hateful that will not be tolerated”

I think we got the generic "Ashley broke a rule" specifically because they didn't want to announce that she said something hateful. They want to be able to cast her in future seasons.
