I am not sure what”Bill” is talking about , hitting a woman, unless he is calling Jared Ashley a woman. Greedy but I do not think he is a woman.

Sorry JARED but you’re sounding a little like a whiny-ass. BooHoo, John Rich might hurt me. Such crap. I’d say this country has too many wannabe artists and perhaps a few too many lawyers. Thank God there are a few MEN left, John Rich being one of the best.

I’d say it’s about damn time someone stood up to John Rich…..I have to applaud Jared. Karma’s a bitch John, sucks you’re getting yours now.

He definitely hasn’t settled down has he? His drinking and violent behavior is worse than ever. Looks like his life has been all downhill since the wedding.
Maybe his wife should try getting him sober before he ends up broke and in prison. If she cares…. His own personal June Carter, my ass. June would have straightened him out or left him long ago. This woman is watching him crash and burn. What a waste.

Hey Bill, Jarod is a guy. And sounds to me like he deserved to get the shit kicked out of him. It terribly sad what this SOB is doing to him and its rediculous that the law is even involved. Hopefully John will pull through
