I guess that was a byproduct of marriage to Robert Kardashian Sr. that Jan Ashley is perhaps most recognized. This stage of her life is but only one piece of the story of her life. Prior to her affiliation with the Kardashian family, her name was Janice Lynn Glass, who was selected Miss Tulsa in 1966 and long time wife of actor and producer John Ashley.
Fame returned after she began talking about her family, claiming the father of Khloe Kardashian was the same as her father’s. There was press coverage for this, but not a thing that she claimed, and there really should be taken lightly because what Ashley says is, after all, an allegation rather than the truth that is needed to be given.
Jan Ashley: The Official Information
Jan Ashley(25th may 1941 to 7th sept 1994) Public personage in society American who gained most fame and recognition of public life for having a link in to two men who was extremely famous i,e the Actor and film-producerJohn Ashley and a highly skilled Advocate by professionRobert Kardashian Sr.
Born Janice Lynn Glass in 1948; associated with Tulsa, Oklahoma. There is even a Miss Oklahoma archives, on which is listed the name Janice Lynn Glass for Miss Tulsa of 1966, adding today to one of the most widely repeated “facts” of the star’s life.
Where the rest of the family were transformed from private citizens to tv personalities, entrepreneurs and media magnates in their own right, Jan Ashley never possessed that type of public persona.
This is actually really important to add because, at least I know I felt this way when I first discovered all the information out there about Khloe, that most of the material is associated with Robert Kardashian and not her actual career as a social media influencer, media mogul, TV persona or even legal/professional files.
What Is Jan Ashley Known For?
Robert Kardashian’s second wife is the name he gave to a man. Robert Kardashian Sr. He married Jan Ashley in 1998 with a annulment in 1999.
And I’ll forever know her for a marriage to John Ashley. According to Miss Tulsa history, her appearance at Miss Tulsa contest in 1966. Other mentions in regards to what is being said around and in her future regarding the Kardashian’s put a spotlight on her again about 10 or more years later since she was with Robert.
That’s how a sentence like “Robert Kardashian’s ex wife” the simplest, most incorrect description you could possibly give to someone at all. …quite have lived decades before, and quite apart from his short marriage to her.
Jan Ashley: early life and beauty pageant experience
Very little can be found in the public domain about her early life and to attempt to give it a body of substance using anything other than low quality sources would be fool hardy indeed.
However what’s more challenging to prove, is that she hails from Tulsa, and in 1966 that was also a title she can be accredited with having attained: ‘Miss Tulsa’ in ’66. A history of Miss Oklahoma published in 1966 declared Miss Tulsa to be Janice Lynn Glass.
The reason for referring Jan Ashley as a beauty queen / pageant titleholder (who is no longer current).
Haha ok but make it sound like not like that though lol. Although locally named “Queen of local township,” the role did not result into a lucrative career at the time ( Modeling, Acting or becoming an eventual celebrity Beauty Queen. A few biographies online were generic and boasted career success with very little support.
The exact reason why the title ‘Miss Tula’ has come about her as this can also refer to her as this. However any claims of large modelling and show biz career would be untrue.
Jan Ashley and John Ashley
John Ashley was her first husband. A singer, actor and film producer. Before her and Robert.
It was John Ashley that got Jan into the career that took up a significant part of her life – TV and movie producing. Unlike her subsequent marriage to Robert Kardashian, though, her marriage to John Ashley would be a long marriage and one rarely brought up on the web.
John Ashley passed away in 1997. “They got divorced and a year later Jan met Robert Kardashian” the pal explained to Radar Online. And that is why her wedding is one of the greatest storylines to come out of her narrative thus far.
What is inconsistent is that, with regard to nature of two married couples they are just on opposites. Her relationship with John represented many years of her adult life, while her marriage to Robert lasted only a short period before it was annulled.
Jan Ashley and Robert Kardashian
On November 25, 1998 – the date that O.J. Simpson’s infamous trial would ultimately and unexpectedly result in a not guilty verdict—Jan Ashley and Robert Kardashian Sr. were married. We are able to place that date because it is a date that is identified clearly with reference to the time Robert would identify under oath to support his petition seeking the dissolution of the marriage.
At that time, Robert Kardashian had already achieved the status of a celebrity. He was married and divorced to Kris Jenner and fathered Kourtney, Kim, Khole and Rob Kardashian and had gained national fame by playing a part in O.J. Simpson’s 1995 criminal trial.
The marriage to Jan Ashley did not last.
In contrast, we have this remarkably direct explanation from Robert as to why he decided to file the action for nullity: “I said Ashley and I got married with the understanding that we were going to have a child but I reconsidered within two months thereafter about whether I want a child, I have four kids and I did not want to have a child.”.
Ironically, that one page document is probably more valuable than the next couple of celebrity overviews just because it’s got “Robert’s stated reason.”.
Why Did Robert Kardashian Marry Jan Ashley?
I’ll do my best to include the most formal available printed version as well, coming from the hand of Robert Kardashian himself.
Robert in his 1999 affidavit said: He got into the marriage with Jan intending to have children and issue her another child, however, he changed his mind since he had four natural issues.
Once more – the fact these two did get along with each other didn’t automatically tell us how compatible they were, or indeed why they decided to marry in the first place. However, there is evidence as to the existence of one very specific reason, apart from other possible reasons, that led to the nullity of their marriage.
Later accounts attributed additional relationship problems to tensions involving Kris Jenner and Robert’s children, but those accounts should be distinguished from the explanation contained in Robert’s legal declaration.
Was Jan Ashley Married to Robert Kardashian for Only 30 Days?
The marriage was extremely short, but “30 days” is often repeated without explaining the legal timeline.
The confirmation from Robert is consistent with the wedding date in November of 1998 but more than the usual reports of a failed marriage are a marriage that was annulled.
The important part here, though, is that Jan Ashley was not married to Robert Kardashian when he died in 2003.
“I hope it addresses one of the common misconceptions about her story,” said.
Married Robert Kardashian at his dying hour?
Jan Ashley did not marry Robert Kardashian on his death bed.
July of 1998 Robert and Jan became husband and wife. However, within a year (1999) the marriage was dissolved. He then married Ellen Pierson in 2003 and only six weeks into his new marriage, on the 30 September 2003, he died of oesophageal cancer.
Thus if someone mentions Robert Kardashian about to marry before his passing they are referencing Ellen Pierson, and not Jan Ashley.
Which, if you’re going to, is relevant to their only too short marriage (which most online bios will merge as a rule).
Why Did Jan Ashley and Robert Kardashian Separate?
The strongest primary evidence points to disagreement over having another child.
Robert said that both he and Jan had entered the marriage expecting to have a child together. He then changed his position approximately two months later and decided that he did not want another child because he already had four biological children.
Jan later gave a different emphasis when discussing the relationship publicly, pointing to difficulties involving Robert’s former wife and children. Those comments provide another perspective, but they should not replace the explanation documented in Robert’s legal filing.
The safest conclusion is that the marriage ended amid serious relationship difficulties, with Robert’s decision regarding having another child clearly documented as a central issue in his annulment request.
What Happened to Jan Ashley?
Jan Ashley eventually moved away from the level of public attention associated with the Kardashian family.
Her name resurfaced in 2012 when she was quoted in a tabloid story making claims about Khloé Kardashian’s biological parentage. CBS Los Angeles reported the controversy at the time, including Khloé’s public response.
The claim itself was never established simply because Ashley made it. no the truth is it’s more a result of ‘hearsay’ rather than the actual K history.
Now it becomes more interesting since in the other situation, that is to say when saying reiterating the publication for an allegation, may provide more of an assurance for the allegation than what is in actual supporting it should do.
1 Jan Ashley 67 January 2015. The grave records show that Janice Lynn Glass Ashley was born in 1948 and is buried in Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Hollywood Hills.
Did Priscilla Presley Date Robert Kardashian?
Yes.There are rumors that people say that Robert Kardashian had an affair with Priscilla Presley in the 70’s just few years before Robert married to Kris Jenner and several years before he had a quick wedding to Jan Ashley. Some biographies mention Robert’s relationship with Miss Presley dating back to 1975 / 1976.
The relationship is relevant to Jan Ashley’s story mainly because it helps put Robert’s personal life into chronological context.
It also provides an excellent context for why a research into Robert Kardashian’s love interests would bring up several huge celebrities that have nothing to do with Jan Ashley.
So why did Kris Jenner leave Robert Kardashian?
Kris Jenner and Robert Kardashian’s relationship ended when Kris’s affair with Todd Waterman, a football player was uncovered.
They were married between 1978 and 1991 and Jenner has been vocal about the relationship, calling it one of the great regrets of her life.
The point is only pertinent when discussing Jan Ashley for the sole reason of because she and Robert married a couple years after Robert divorced Kris.
In spite of the fact that his marriage to Robert ended in a manner such as that. He still maintained a friendship with him all his life.
How does Rob Kardashian feel about O.J. Simpson?
You should define that better, in my opinion because maybe there is other Robert Kardashian and he is talking about Robert Kardashian Sr.. or Robert Kardashian Jr.
…The OJ. The child of which criminal defense attorney Kardashian came into existence: the father or the son?
However at first, Robert was firmly on the side of Simpson, stating at one time, at the very least, that he felt his friend for his entire life was an innocent man. He became somewhat trickier, by the time of the trial. I do want to tell you that I was afraid, I was, you know, I do admit to having blood on my gloves that the defense was, was going to mention — Kardashian was recorded saying to Barbara Walters during a 1996 interview. That was an obvious concern for me.
So it makes no sense at all the claim that Robert Kardashian did know O.J. ‘The trial has not only freed an innocent man’. But as this statement would indicate is in fact somewhat of a generalisation.
Although his defense, he has made known both orally and in writing that his personal belief of his friend’s innocence was doubtful.
Jan Ashley’s Spot in the History of the Kardashians
History’s stranger than fiction – Kardashianian edition! (Or, just… that one.).
She was married long before that era of the KUWTK and nothing to do with him and/or his famous reality show at all. Still, Robert’s relationships often interest fans, so search traffic for his ’90s wedding occurs anyway.
And that’s only part of another example of how celebrity biography can take shape and evolve.
Once a marriage ends, that era can take center stage. A disputed claim can become ingrained in the search record. When stated more than 4 dozen times on as many websites it’s hard not to take a small piece of minutia as historic truth.
And that’s one reason that I think it makes best sense to interpret Ash’s life-history by separating the recorded from the rehearsed.
Concluding with Jan Ashley
Jan Ashley – Robert Kardashian was not only his ex wife.
No matter what else she gained later through her K relationship, and though I continue to insist she had some earlier life (she was Miss Tulsa in ’66, a marriage of years to John Ashley, etc), she didn’t much have an “on” with Robert Kardashian. The best legal word on the history of it comes in his sworn statement.
Although the name came back to prominence as part of a subsequent scandal — one shouldn’t mistake claims for solid family history.
And that’s probably the best and most vivid way anyone can get a fix on Jan Ashley — a fairly private individual inextricably linked, if only briefly and due to marriage and the story she has to tell about them, to a rather public family of some standing.
