Hello and welcome to a Special Focus Episode of Makeup & Mayhem: True Crime with Bella Monsoon…me!
This week I am bringing a case to light that whilst might have not taken place in South Africa, concerns a young South African girl currently imprisoned for a crime she did not commit. After stumbling upon this case, I reached out to the friends & family behind the Facebook page: A Voice for Ashley Oosthuizen and after communication, they agreed that an episode on her story might help in spreading awareness. So here we are.
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to watch this video and learn about who Ashley is and how you could possibly help her- and it might not even be in the way you think!

Thank you so much for the support 🙏🏽❤️
What a nightmare. I pray her family and attorneys can get her out of prison. It’s terrifying to think she may actually have to spend 25 years in prison for a crime she didn’t commit.
They are hoping to get her a presidential pardon but that may take months to years 💔
😒😩It’s always sad that the people who didn’t commit crimes can be found and be prosecuted faster than the actual person who committed the crime😩💔 She and her family deserve better.
It's easy to pin a crime on anyone than actually doing the work to find the perpetrators.
💕thanks for doing this story,she needs our help😭
Hi Bella. How do we 'promote' this more - to get Ashley home? This should be in the news!?! ALL cases of South Africans "kept" abroad need to be highlighted! This is shocking!
I'm from New Orleans Louisiana, USA I'm so glad to see your fan base growing😍
Yay! Thanks for the support, all the way from sunny South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤️
Wondering how Tristan got a teaching job in the first place. One needs a clean criminal record and medical checks to test for anything illegal, for these esl jobs. Be careful out there everyone.
I think being American helped him land the job
I wonder how he got in the US Military? Scary thought
Your channel just popped up on my home page! I’m so glad it did because I already ADORE you, and have only seen this video ☺️ plus, your accent is awesome 😎 it’s great to see a youtuber in another part of the world that isn’t UK or US or Australia. We never hear cases from South Africa, except for the Pistorius debacle. This case is so scary!! I really hope Ashley can get out, the Thai legal system and government can never ever admit when they are wrong. I’ll share this video on my Twitter and Facebook. 🙏🏼♥️ much love from the UK 🇬🇧
tristan used to be my teacher for a couple months (remotely). hearing this stuff all of a sudden is crazy.
"Teaching," your class remotely was soul crushing. Little soft gummies complaining about my teaching you real shit instead of ten year old curriculum. Maybe when you move out of mommies house you will learn better. Now go tell your principal I was mean to you again. Lulz
Please teach me how to research SA crime the way you do. You’re doing it 🍾
🥺🥺 Thank you! I think I should become an honorary detective at this point given the level of research I get Upto 🤣
@@BellaMonsoon lol I agree detective Monsoon. We’ll keep supporting. Keep it up Bella ❤️.
@@BellaMonsoon 😂😂😂
Saw this on Tik Tok and ran straight to YT to watch the whole video
Yay! Thank you for the support! 🥰
I'm so sad for my fellow south African 😢 💜🙏
Extremely sad sad case of such a beautiful young lady😰
For months parcels come in from elsewhere. Common sense should have kicked in. One does not receive packages you are not familiar with abroad.
This is so so sad! Can't believe that she's going through all of this. The worst part for me is "The SA Government is not in a position to intervene in any legal aspects, court hearings and judicial processes in a foreign country," 🤯
Love ur hair so cute my hair is to dark even when I bleach it I've been trying to get purple or pink hair for a long time if u used hair dye what brand did u use love ur makeup also so pretty😍
Tristan Nettles is my math teacher may seem hard to believe but its true. He moved to a city in north florida named "Jacksonville" he told us to call him teacher T. He lets us use chatgpt while studying and things like that. He is a good teacher although he is strict. Honestly did not know this.
This is HORRIFYING!!!! Thank you for bringing this to all of us. My pray are with Ashley and her family. I can’t even imagine what she’s going through. ♥️🙏🏻
You are welcome! I can’t imagine either. Yesterday she spent her 23rd birthday in jail 💔
It certainly is shocking for fair minded people to learn that a Thai courts routinely accept signed “confessions” written in the Thai language which the accused person does not comprehend.
Well done on producing this video to act as a warning to others and highlight the injustice for this young lady.
Yes. It is great to see the variety of cases. Keep it up. You have amazing content ❤️
Thank you for the support 🥰✨
Did you know you have an American Doppelgänger? She’s amazing like you!! Brittany Vaughn I see a colab in your future!! She’s has the Comedic flare and you have the Clinical knowledge!! You guys will make a Dynamic Duo!!
I don’t think the look alike at all.
Just came across your page and had to subscribe! Job well done ! ❤️
Thank you so much for the support 🥰❤️
God, this is horrible.. Wow man 💔💔💔
Absolutely 💔💔💔
Sad sad case. Unfortunately the outcome of such cases are not good. She will be there for quite a long time before they will consider anything. So best we all say a prayer 🙏for her and the family 👪.
Thanks for great content.
The purple and makeup suits you 💜🌞
Thank you for your support and such kind words ❤️❤️❤️✨
This is very Brokedown Palace. But there is no way hes going to go back and take responsibility for it. Even if he did, they prob would not let Ashley go either. They want to use her as an example. So sad. I pray she gets to come home
Exactly, especially when his former employer = the school is intentionally putting the blame on her and protecting their former teachers.
You are right. That's why he went to fight for Ukraine against Russia
Your hair and makeup are on point , sis ! Lookin all cute like a piece of grape candy ... adorable! And the editing , formatting and presentation ? Muah! Chef's kiss ! It's kinda funny to see Banged Up Abroad ... it's called Locked Up Abroad here ...
Glad to see other US girls on This channel! Bella deserves a way bigger audience and South Africa’s True Crime deserves more attention internationally!
@@hallievanoutryve3109 totally agree! She'll definitely grow an American fan base ...
Another US fan here too!
🥺🥺🥺 Crystal! You are so sweet! Thank you so much for your kind words- I really do appreciate them! 🥰🥰🥰
Hallie!!!🥰 Thank you! There’s been so much growth in the past few days, I’m so so grateful! ✨
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Let her do her time.
This is devastating.
💔💔💔
I hardly ever comment on TH-cam videos, BUT your presentation of this case was terrible. I watch some of your other coverings, and I enjoyed it. I recommend you to other friends yesterday as a seasoned true-crime fan. Yet I find it very interesting that you- a mental health care professional take this stance.
We (you included) have no idea if Ashley was aware or involved with this whole saga, yet we the watchers - at least the critical ones cannot help to wonder who is involved with an older man (much older) and not know the in's and out's of his life. He sponsored her working visa, so they were intimately involved, this was not a casual fling, so why are we assuming she had no knowledge of this happening. You presented this as very biased.
Ashley had no after-school training. How privileged of her to assume that she can teach any-academic-curricula to foreign kids. I am aware that this happens often in Thailand, but it is not as common as you make it out to be. Asian governments are working hard to ensure that qualified individuals with background checks and good medical checks are employed. I am wondering what happened here because with the case of Richard Huckle one would hope countries are more thorough. You never mention issues of socio-economic privilege, not all South Africans can travel (even after working) to teach in a foreign country. This is completely arrogant on her part. Yet, I also assume the schools are corrupt because who in their right mind will let someone with such a poor case rep and an unqualified young adult teach developing kids.
You made sure with your delivery that we are well aware that Ashley did not know and was so busy when she signed for the package. You also made sure with your vocal stresses that we know she did not party after matric - like her peers-What a loud of niknaks! From a psychological perspective, highlight her above average life, she went to Outeniqua High-a a public yet very expensive school. She was a lifeguard- not your everyday position for a South African 18-year-old. You need some training and at least first aid certification, this costs money. When you said 'You see, Ashley wanted to travel abroad and teach..."- watch out for your vocals.
From a psychological perspective, on the day she signed for the said package- she has been doing this so often that it did not spark any suspicion on her side. You emphasize she was so busy, just to sign something off to get it off her list. As someone who has studied and worked abroad, this is just terrible to assume. Because all foreigners, ALWAYS translate everything in Asia before they do anything. But she was just too busy? I cannot help to wonder if it's gender privilege, or much more.
I am all for her being safe and sound in South Africa and would want her to have a fair trial, yet I know Thailand is not known for that. BUT, don't paint this young adult as an innocent young girl caught between the fire of her thug-like bf and the Thai police. She's 21, if this was a case of her deciding about something else with legal ramifications that would benefit her; the narrative would be how she's a strong, independent woman.
I like your content. You are one of so few South African channels but keep with your impartial position. I am not suggesting that Ashley is involved or innocent, because I won't know. Why would I trust the comments of the bf, with his rep? You can still advocate for her safe return and fair trial without impartial nuances. I for one cannot help to wonder if she was of a different gender, race, and socio-economic background if this would be a different presentation
Agree 💯
Ohhhhhh i like this 😘 well done
The favorite part of my week😍🤞
Aw🥺🥺🥺🥺
Hell yes, she should refuse. All she should be required to give them is her basic info and ask for a embassy leason. I don't know if SA has an embassy in Thailand but at the very least, she could ask for legal council.
What a nightmare
She just hit 10k subs! I'm so happy for her
This is so Sad that this happened to such a beautiful woman I wish her all of the best Free ashly
Hope she gets released can they not see with the investigation & tests she is innocent. What's wrong with these Thai police.
I hope so too ❤️ Yesterday was her third birthday spent in jail 💔
Check out Huisgenoot Lewensdrama on Showmax. There is a similar story about a coloured woman who was a former beauty queen. Her name is Vanessa Goosen I think. Because of her boyfriend at the time she was detained in a Thai prison and worst part is not long after she found out that she was pregnant and gave birth to a daughter in prison. I think they had a rule after the age of 3 kids could no longer stay in the prison so she got her best friend in South Africa to raise her daughter. I can't remember how long she was in there but when she came out her daughter was a teenager.
Please don't call people colored it's offensive.
@@Channel-rb6ch It's a race in South Africa 🇿🇦, not offensive to us.
@@LaniZM-uq5gs Proud Coloured over here. 🌸🤭
@@Channel-rb6ch not offensive to us LOL
😂😂😂
I am not sure why people still go to these Asian Countries - or any country where Human rights are not upheld. I know Human rights can get out of hand sometimes, and misused, but in a case like this where the Justice is not justice then its a NECESSITY.
She'll do 5 years then get sent home. If she's lucky they wont make her finish the sentence in SA. ; but that new king is not made of the same stuff the King Bjumibol was so pardons may not be as considered. To wind this up by saying that you know we are all wonderful people is a bit thick no.....her boyfriend probably watched this?
Unbelievable. Ugh. The hiring and background checks for that school is awful. This poor girl
This story is very sad 😔
Love the new hairstyle. Shall update after watching the video. It's gone 11pm here in UK and I can't sleep so thank you for the company 😺
Thank you so much for the support 🥰❤️
At 7:41, I must stress the significance of preserving one's reputation to Thai individuals, particularly in the realm of legal matters. In simpler terms, the Thai judicial system is unlikely to admit to a false conviction or judicial error. Moreover, Ashley's legal advisor, Lizelle Martin, is unlikely to gain the favor of Thai officials while displaying her tattoos. In Thailand, your appearance and attire are considered reflections of your respect for others. Contrastingly, in Western cultures, how you dress is often seen as an expression of your individuality. Many well-intentioned Westerners overlook this crucial cultural difference, leading them to wonder why Thai authorities are so easily offended.
Heartbreaking story 💔😪🙏
#Free Ashley Oosthuizen
This is incredibly sad
Horrific so sad bad... terrible
After watching this video I contacted my friend. He is a South African diplomat. He knows about the case and if it wasn't for there department she would have hang a week after her conviction. What he said was that this wasn't a fly by night drug operation, this was a well oiled machine. He didn't go into detail about this. From what I gathered was that there's to many such cases for them to concentrate on her case alone. 1200 south Africans are locked up in Brazil alone for drug related crimes. She isn't the only south African there also.
It's a sad situation she's in and I honestly feel for her.
That’s insane! Thank you for sharing.
@@BellaMonsoon this might sound heartless, but I'm repeating what he told me.
She's not as innocent as she claims. Reason being that this was a well oiled operation and there's not a chance that she didn't know nothing that was going on. For that reason, her case isn't much more special then the other south Africans that's locked up overseas for drug related crimes.
It's a tough cookie to swallow, I must say.
@@BellaMonsoonthe south Africans in Brazil gets paid 60K and a week long holiday in Brazil for there effects. If they get caught, they'll face 5 to 10 years in jail there.
That's tax free money.
I can imagine a lot of south Africans would take the gamble.
Wow! I guess you’re right! Many in desperate situations would definitely not think twice.
The world is a crazy place!
And I definitely will wait to see what comes of everything too. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Bella, What does Metriculating mean??
Hi! Matric is grade 12 here in South Africa so essentially matriculating is just a term to stage that an individual has finished high school 🏫 ❤️
It's a shame they couldn't come up with the 60k because the lawyers know who to pay off to get her let go or a reduced sentence
UITEINDELIK SUID-AFRIKAANSE CRIME! Yup yes subscribed thank you
Let this be a lesson never befriend any westerners abroad
I didn't know anything yet about Tristan at the beginning of the video .. Just that she was in jail for something she didn't do. When I heard that he was American and saw his face. 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩started flying. She should have known better but then again she was a child and I don't blame her for being naive. At her age I made stupid mistakes too. And I'm also thinking she must have been lonely and she latched on to the first person who looked familiar and spoke the same language since everyone else spoke Thai mostly.
Never Trust Anyone Anywhere on your Travels or in your own back yard
Wish her all the best
Good Luck
Unfortunately the best she can hope for is a pardon from the king
O assume metrics and metriculating are the same as finals and graduation everywhere else?
It is grade 12 or 12th grade
Yes! Sorry for not explaining- Matric is the same as Grade 12- final year of school.
She was there how many years, and never learned the language / Thai? Even though Thailand was supposed to be her home? hhhhhhmmmm...... Sad.
Girl I remember my old math teachers last name was oosthuizen
Wait did the marines kick him out?!
I meeeean, probably? But I guess we would have to ask him or the marines themselves 👀
@@BellaMonsoon 😂😂😂 they probs kept him. Im just like at the very least i hope he was discharged lol but probs expecting too much
The messages u post are so small u can't see it&u don't say what it says& pictures aren't big enough.JS✌️interesting story though.i wish everyone had access to lie detector tests!!what a scumbag he is.hopefully KARMA WILL GET HIM
❤️
Bella please. Where's the new vids???
Hello! 🥰❤️ I was on break last week and the new video will be posted tomorrow🥰 (Just had a bit of a crazy week!)
I can't read the yellow boxes you put on screen
Thanks for letting me know! Will adjust for next time ✨
New sub here
Thanks for joining the BellaBoo family!🥳❤️
This is just awful!
Absolutely 💔💔💔
What about the South African government? Isn't it possible for them to negotiate with Thailand?
The government doesn't get involved in cases abroad especially drug cases in the east then they don't they just act as a go in between or messenger for the family. Also we are a small country with no international political influence 😮💨 if she was American maybe they would of at least asked that she serve her sentence back home
What kind of double standard is this? A cute looking white woman committed a crime and you ask her to be free? Imagine a Thai person breaking a law here in the UK, would the paper be written in Thai? Would you be asking to free her?
English is the International language. Its the Law to give a person an English translation of the documents if the original documents are not in a language they understand. Besides Ashley is Afrikaans not English so your argument doesnt match
@@tellaqq Yours doesn't make sense. There was a translator present according to other sources, Thailand is not an English speaking country? Even if she is Afrikaans-how then would she be eligible to teach English?
I was super excited when i saw you doing Ashley's story, but very disappointed in the way u were presenting it. Its like u forcing all of us to believe she's innocent...which she maybe or may not be. We weren't their and as an adult i find it hard to believe she can honestly say she had no idea what her "boyfriend" was doing. How he even got to Thailand with he's extended criminal past is beyond me. Something is off about this case from first day i read about it. As a fellow South african i would like to see her home with her family. But well never know the whole truth🥴
hi please check on Triss Nepps or Hot in the biscuit for new update on Ashleys
Thanks! ✨
@@BellaMonsoon I'm right here. Helllllllllllllllllo
Cause she was associated with him they see that as being guilty of a crime an association
I hope Tristan , will caught by INRERPOL soon and get his punishement in Thai jail , God helps.her out of this situation
Keep dreaming.
She certainly does Not deserve life in prision, but common!!! Cut the Bs, Stop pretending she's an inocent victim!!! She knew exacly what was in those packages, & what she was doing ! She was directly involved in helping trafic/ smuggle drugs !!! &;she knew the potential consequences!!!
Their are hundreds of south africans rotting in foreign prisions for drug traficing, people "less guilty than Ashley, just desperate people who carried a bag cross the border,,, rite in south probably 10s of thousands people in prision for drugs,, many doing 25 years !!!! What about all of them????
I love u
I'm admittedly naive, i don't want to offend anyone at all. I've noticed while watching your videos that you have a large English vocabulary. Also, I have a very difficult time understanding most accents however I have no problem understanding you. I was just curious about what your first language is and also what language do most South Africans speak? I thought that South Africans spoke Afrikaans, am I misinformed?
I'm an English speaking American btw.
Afrikaans speaking South Africans account for only 7% of the entire population. Public schools in SA are predominantly English medium and English is a compulsory language either as a first or second language in all schools. It is very rare to find a South African who does not speak English. Also because South Africa was colonised by Britain, the English taught in institutions and spoken here is 'UK English'. Hope this helps.
@@KatMoleZA Thank you very much for taking the time to respond to me. I could definitely hear that Bella was speaking with English with a UK dialect.
Lots of South Africans teach ESL we considered native English speakers...I have taught online for 3 years and my daughter still teachers online full time,they like our clear accent.
South Africa has eleven official languages.
Hi!
No offence taken at all, I’m happy to answer🥰
As many others have commented already, here in South Africa- we have 11 official languages. However almost all of the country do speak English too! Most schools also teach in English as a primary language and if not primary, then secondary.
My first language is English. I also have a degree in English language and literature and years of Montessori and International school teaching during my childhood so I’ve also always had a slight accent to my English!
Hope that answers your question!
P.S thanks for supporting the channel ✨🥰
Hi Bella - Tristan Nettles here. Have you received my emails? Please let me know. #freeashleyoosthuizen
