TikTok scammer Ashley Grayson was sentenced to 120 months in a federal prison for a murder-for-hire scheme. Grayson was sentenced on Thursday, Oct. 31. She was assigned to a federal medical facility because she’s pregnant with her third child and due to give birth soon.
She has 4 weeks to surrender to the federal bureau of prisons.
According to Atlanta Black Star, the federal indictment was filed on June 29 in the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee. The complaint states that Ashley and Joshua Grayson reportedly contacted someone and paid them to murder another person.
The hitman’s name was omitted from the complaint, and it lists only the initials D.H. for the potential victim. However, investigators determined the Graysons were in contact with someone to carry out the murder between Aug. 26, 2022, and Sept. 11, 2022.
Joshua Grayson was eventually cleared of any wrongdoing.
The Graysons are well-known on social media for their online credit repair and content businesses. Ashley Grayson gained notoriety online after she reportedly won $1 million in a lawsuit. But she claimed she earned the money after launching her online businesses.

In posts on Instagram and Facebook, Grayson showed off her lavish lifestyle. One video showed her proposal to Joshua Grayson, which took place on a rented yacht and featured a performance by R&B singer Monica.
Videos and pictures of the event went viral, which earned the couple a massive social media following.
One year after their engagement, allegations began circulating that Grayson greatly exaggerated her personal wealth and bragged that she was singer Monica’s best friend. But Facebook users claimed and that the money she flaunted was actually from a worker’s compensation settlement after she lost a finger at her old job.
In Facebook posts, one woman accused Grayson of cheating her out of $2,000 after she bought her online course and was subsequently blocked.
In 2022, Grayson filed a defamation lawsuit against a financial coach named Derricka Harwell alleging that a comment Harwell posted under one of Grayson’s Facebook posts was “false, defamatory, and injurious.”
The lawsuit claimed that Harwell’s post “permanently damaged” Grayson’s personal reputation “online and around the world” and made people believe that Grayson “stalked and harassed” Harwell.
