TikTok Star Whose Dad Was Killed By Wife Speaks Out (EXCLUSIVE)

Last month, Eva Benefield took to TikTok to open up about the death of her father Doug Benefield in a case that has since been dubbed "The Black Swan Murder." Doug was fatally shot by his second wife Ashley Benefield, in 2020. Ashley was charged with second-degree murder and claims she shot Doug in self-defense. After sharing her tragic story, Eva's TikTok videos went viral. In an Access Hollywood exclusive, Zuri Hall spoke to the rising social media star about the situation.

I don't know much about Western culture regarding remarrying, but does anyone think that remarrying someone 9 months after your spouse passed away was a bit too quick?

Ashley was a legit psychopath. Just hearing about the verbal toxicity between Doug and Ashley, you just knew how manipulative Ashley was. She was able to get Doug to do whatever she wanted. I mean she was even engaged to another man while still married to him. Yet she still managed to make him think they were gonna get back together. They were supposed to be moving at the time of the murder.

She is so sweet. So sorry for this girl. Prayers for you dear.

Eva, I just listened to a podcast about this case. I'm so sorry for your losses. Ashley sounds like she has some very bad, deep-seeded mental issues. Since mental illness can run in the family, I pray you and your family can get custody of your baby sister soon. Sending prayers and love out to you and your family. 💛🙏

This girl loves the spotlight..wow..no suffering just going on social media..yeahh..

[HOEVER]

I believe this are two sides to a story. I think this is a one-sided story.

[marih]

I am personally aware of people (men and women) attending grief counseling "Meet-Up" groups for widows and widowers looking to take advantage of people who are lonely and confused after losing their mate. They specifically target those with "Resources", (money, real estate, commercial business, power), that they can exploit to their own advantage. I truly believe Ashley is one of these predators from my heart...

[cheriamour]

What's up with the interviewer's hair? Did she shave those numbers into her head?

[phillipdonnatien]

Trauma bonding to a T. The answer to why is Ashley wanted to be his number one in her fragmented world. The unmet needs of a narcissist are as much of an illusion as their feelings for you are. So sad. ❤

[jmgood]

I bet Ashley was poisoning Doug and Eva!

[katjay]

That's what happens to men who remarry instantly after they get rid of their wives...
