    Default Ashley Judd's Memoir about to come out: reveals history of sexual abuse

    I really love this actress and think she's honestly one of the most beautiful women.

    I've read a couple of articles about this book and found it interesting. I was happy to see that her family is wishing her success with the book even though it paints a pretty bad picture of them.

    I also applauded her saying this:
    "In addition, Judd writes about being raped while she was a 15-year-old model working in Japan. “There was a creepy Frenchman who hung out at the bar ... He offered me a ride home ... I was so young and confused that I had no idea that what followed was rape.” "

    I say "applauded" because it reminds me of one woman I know who was raped when she was 17, and it seemed similar-- this confusion, this "I didn't even know what was really happening at the time," that our brains don't always have that clear cut definition in all situations that a situation is rape.

    There was something I was curious about-- she said that she and her sister had to listen to her parents have really loud sex often, and that she's now found out that this is considered covert sexual abuse. I guess I could see how...but on the other hand, I wonder how that affects people negatively aside from really icky mental images.

    I absolutely LOVE her and her movies. High Crimes is my favorite. Can't wait to read her book as I can relate to sexual abuse. Its good to know that even with everything that happened,she was still able to overcome it and follow her dreams
