“Definitely don’t want to give him any more of my energy,” Jade wrote. “Just have to keep moving up.”
In a subsequent message, the 26-year-old said that she had “dealt with so many different girls” throughout her relationship with Ridge.
“He just all blamed them… I’m not letting some loser close to my daughter.”
