The Teen Mom star was arrested after a fight allegedly broke out at a party in Virginia on March 21, The Ashley’s Reality Round-Up reported.
Kiaya reportedly got involved in the altercation while attending the bash with her on-off girlfriend Teazha.
“A guy eventually jumped into the fight and Kiaya claimed he pulled out a gun and pointed it at her,” a source told the outlet.
“Kiaya wasn’t really injured, but she did file charges against the guy for assault and battery and for pointing a gun at her.”
The man was arrested and is due in court next month for the charges.
It appears that the guy filed an assault charge on Kiaya a few days after his arrest.
Another woman also filed an assault charge against the MTV star, and accused her of pointing/brandishing a gun at him.
Kiaya was arrested on March 25 and later bailed out for $3,500.
She joked about the arrest in a TikTok, filming herself laughing and covering her face.
It was captioned: “Thinking about that time I took my wig off to wash my hair and got arrested before I could finish taking my cornrows out.”
The clip then panned to Ashley’s mugshot, as she tried to suppress her laughter.
MTV producers are reportedly aware of the reality star’s arrest, but The Ashley claimed it was not filmed for the show.
Kiaya first found fame on Teen Mom: Young & Pregnant when she was expecting her son, Amour, with ex-boyfriend X’Zayveon Gambrell.
X’Zayveon was arrested in 2018 for possession of a firearm, aiding in/receiving a stolen firearm and possession of a weapon. He will be in prison until 2023.
Kiaya – who launched an OnlyFans account last summer – previously claimed fans want her to replace Chelsea Houska on Teen Mom 2.
