During the February 16, 2007 edition of SmackDown!, Ashley unveiled her Playboy cover.[18] Surrounding the release of the magazine, Ashley engaged in a feud with Jillian Hall over who was the most talented Diva on SmackDown! and Halls' jealousy over Ashley's Playboy cover. At No Way Out 2007, Ashley won the first ever Diva Invitational by removing her top to reveal her breasts which were covered with Playboy bunny pasties.[19]
Surrounding the release of the cover, Ashley continued to feud with Jillian, but also began a feud with WWE Women's Champion, RAW's Melina. Melina was angry over the publicity Ashley had been receiving because of the cover and believed that she deserved more publicity than Ashley for being the Women's Champion.[20] On an episode of SmackDown!, the rivalry was taken to the next level when a catfight broke out between the Divas on the inaugural edition of Miz TV.[20] At WrestleMania 23, Melina defeated Ashley in a LumberJill Match to retain her title.[21]
After WrestleMania, Ashley continued as a valet for WWE Tag Team Champions Paul London and Brian Kendrick. However, on the April 13, 2007 episode of SmackDown!, Ashley was (kayfabe) attacked by Jillian Hall.[22] Ashley loosened a screw in her ankle that will need to be surgically repaired, and the screw will be reinserted into a plate in her ankle that was inserted last year after Ashley legitimately fractured her tibia and fibula while in a battle royal. It was confirmed on an edition of Smackdown that she has recovered from her surgery, but didn't say when she was returning to in-ring action.[23]
