- Ashleigh’s family left Saudi Arabia abruptly when she was 12 years old and moved to Australia, during the height of the terror attacks on Westerners living in the Middle Eastern kingdom, and that left a deep impact on her psyche. When she was a child, every time someone was 5 minutes late, she would assume that it was due to something like a car bombing. She has revealed that even after growing up, she has not been able to overcome her anxiety and she has kept getting terrified with thoughts of her near ones dying, although with time she has learned to deal better with her panic attacks.
