Ashley Judd Instagram - My big sister. My protector who powdered me when I was an infant, let me do her Civics homework when I was in 6th grade (which made me feel "big”), who taught me how to drive (it was a 1957 Chevy), with whom I compared mosquito bites after we played in eastern Kentucky creeks looking for crawdads. Oh, yes — she happened to sing some, too.

This past Friday, she sang in Knoxville, and it was glorious. My favorite songs are the ones our Mama wrote, so customized for her voice are they. Thank you to fans for loving my sister @wynonnajudd and helping to give her life purpose and meaning, and for recognizing that she’s indeed the G.O.A.T.

Ashley Judd Instagram - I love spring birthdays and I love my Pop. He came into my life when I was 11 and the day we met I was practicing my cheerleader moves - and he let me climb up to stand on his shoulders before we fully knew each others’ names. He’s held me high since then, and with Mom gone, we are closer than ever. Happy Birthday, Pop.

Ashley Judd Instagram - Celebrate 18 years of recovery with me! Thank you the good people at Shades of Hope who reached out to the “lost child” that I was, offering healing and a ever deeper & more beautiful way of life as the years pass.

There is always a path of peace for us, whether our loved ones change, acknowledge the existence of a problem, or get their own help. We are not betraying them when we ourselves thrive. In fact, we are giving them hope.

Ashley Judd Instagram - Winter holidays, reflecting in the Great Smoky Mountains.

Ashley Judd Instagram - I apologize deeply that the slide may be so easily misinterpreted. My feeling & value I am expressing is, “just because I don’t support a candidate doesn’t mean I would ever, ever want them, or anyone harmed.” I am so sorry it came out clumsily & that some misread my intention. I ask for your grace.

Thank you, all, who are exercising the goodness of your humanity in this fraught moment. I have also seen comments here that appalled me. I will not host such inappropriate incivility. Comments are off.

Ashley Judd Instagram - This morning, I was excitedly preparing to reserve our Yellowstone National Park backcountry campsites. Jodi Kantor from the NYT called, and texted simultaneously, “pick up rn,” and I did. She shared the news that the New York Court of Appeals had overturned Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 conviction on felony sex crime charges. Yet again, male sexual violence had intruded upon and disturbed a beautiful day, as it does every day in the lives of American women.

We live on a daily basis with male entitlement to our female bodies. The most dangerous place in the US for us is in our homes. The men who most commonly assault, rape, and kill us are men who know.

Each of us who survived Harvey Weinstein’s serial sexual predation knew him. He exploited, gleefully, the asymmetry of power in our relationship to him. He defamed me after I barely evaded his sexual assault in that hotel room in 1996. I did not evade his grotesque sexual harassment, wrath, and punishment. My art and my pocketbook are still different to this day because of him.

The misguided opinion of 4 judges today does not change what we survivors know, and we acknowledge the fierceness of the minority opinion. The truth is consistent.

There are multiple forces at work here. One is the power of those of us with lived experience as survivors of male sexual violence and our voices. When we share our stories, we exercise leadership by sparking others to join us in shared actions toward safety and freedom from sexual harm. We let other folks know we see them, we hear them, we believe them, we love them. We have community.

The other force is institutional betrayal. We must work within and from outside institutions to encourage them to adopt the research-based, concrete actions of Institutional Courage. So many survivors share that the “second rape” and moral injury of institutional betrayal is harder to live with than the original crime against their bodies.

Ashley Judd Instagram - “The beginning of real love is to allow others to be perfectly themselves.” —Thomas Merton, Trappist Monk

I experienced knowings in my soul in childhood about myself. They were clear, irrefutable. Nex, I am glad you knew your truth. I am so sorry others felt entitled to dispute and interfere with your God-given autonomy. I believe you. I see you. I validate you. May your soul be at ease. 🕊️🤍

Ashley Judd Instagram - I love being a woman, and I cherish the little girl who is still alive inside of me. On #InternationalDayofTheGirl, I get on my knees to give thanks for every girl I have ever met, who has ever allowed me to hold her hand, squeeze her close, stroke and braid her hair, climb a tree, and turn a kart-wheel. I cherish every secret that has been shared, fear divulged, wish made, and dream spoken aloud. Worldwide, girls still suffer for being girls. They do 160 million more hours of household chores than their brothers. They are given less food. They are held back from starting or attending school consistently, or drop out when they begin to menstruate. Many are sexually abused and forced into child marriage. They cannot choose if, when, and how many children to have.

To girls around the world, I hope I have, and will continue, to live up to the sacred responsibility of being your friend. At a time when there is so much darkness, I look at the light in your faces when we are connected faces and am reminded of the hope for our future. @unfpa

Ashley Judd Instagram - The first time I was aware something was violated in me was when a man molested me when I was 7 years old. I later learned vocabulary to put to this abrogation of my rights in instruments such as @unitednationshumanrights Convention on the Rights of the Child. All over the world, I have worked with partners like @unfpa to restore and uphold folks’ individual and collective rights, and especially to hold space as they heal from the wounding from violence against their rights. On #HumanRightsDay, I recommit to my, yours, and everyone’s human rights. May we all treat each other with fundamental decency and care.

Ashley Judd Instagram - Great Smoky Mountains. Big hikes, sweet strolls, and in the cabin, 18 Chosen Family members trading cooking, chores, filling in a puzzle, playing chess, having a New Years Eve dance party (kiddos with the main moves), hilarious running charades, morning coffee with our readings, quiet conversations in pairs, laughter in groups, and peace all around. It works. We’ve been doing this for many years. Our secret(s) include, at our first meal, everyone shares a memory they would like to make, something they’d be disappointed if they didn’t get to do it, and any group norms they need/would like to ask for (quiet time after 10pm, before 8 am, e.g.). Everyone has full permission to do what they need to do to take care of themself at given moment: a nap, the hot tub, a break....I love these people and their love for me is one of the joys of my life.

Ashley Judd Instagram - Replete. My cup is full and runs over. The U2 show at Sphere Las Vegas astonishes, thrills, uplifts, delights, and also holds rapt with an improbably tender intimacy. You can hear Bono whisper - the sound is so pristine and clear - and even sip his water, it seems. Edge is alchemical. Adam is so funky and my insides vibrated to his bass. Larry, love and miss you, hope your recovery is coming along; Bram, you are doing great!! Congratulations to the inspired crew and team for creating a next wave masterpiece, like Willie Williams, pictured, show director, and dearest Brian, security for 30 years and my dear buddy. How else can you wake up fresh and shining in Las Vegas, unless you’ve been with Spirit the night before? God suffers with us. God rejoices in our mirth. A tree gives glory to God by being a tree. So us, let us sing and dance. @u2 @spherevegas #bono #edge #adamclayton #larrymullenjr #family #grateful

Larry, love and miss you, hope your recovery is coming along; Bram, you are doing great!! Congratulations to the inspired crew and team for creating a next wave masterpiece, like Willie Williams, pictured, show director, and dearest Brian, security for 30 years and my dear buddy. How else can you wake up fresh and shining in Las Vegas, unless you’ve been with Spirit the night before? God suffers with us. God rejoices in our mirth. A tree gives glory to God by being a tree. So us, let us sing and dance. @u2 @spherevegas #bono #edge #adamclayton #larrymullenjr #family #grateful

Ashley Judd Instagram - Fellow fans, here we go! It is time to root for our @kentuckymbb squad. I am ready to watch the last exhibition game tonight and season kick-off Monday.

My memories of and relationship with the winningest program of all time runs deep and is generational.

I am so grateful for the connections the Kentucky Basketball generates, and for the beautiful hospitality I have always been shown by the Program.

I hear this team is Coach’s fastest, and best passing team (nifty passing thrills me — Patrick Sparks’ no look, behind-the-back, bounce pass).

1996, 1998, 2012 National Championships, I was there, and I’ll be there so my team bring home #9!

Tony Delk is still one of my all time favorites — 7/8 on 3s, and he caused the player he defended to foul out (1996, Meadowlands).
But really, I love them all, because they are Wildcats.

"Jump ball, jump ball, git it, git it!” (Anyone remember that old ditty?)

LET’S GO ‘CATS!
PS Mom said when I was at game, she could pick my voice out of the crowed, hollering!

Ashley Judd Instagram - Today I published an essay in @usatoday. I hope you might read the whole piece.

Yes, it is about what I believe is the deeply urgent imperative that a Democrat be voted into the office of President this November.

It is about how I respect and honor President Biden, a deeply decent man, and feel immense gratitude for all that has been gained. I particularly acknowledge his multi-decade commitment to ending male violence against women.

It is about how, at this infection point, I kindly and firmly invite him to voluntarily, gracefully step aside, creating space for a talented, robust Democrat to ensure the incalculable and unprecedented cruelty of a second Trump administration does not inflict harm upon millions of Americans, especially the more vulnerable among us.

And this essay is about more. I hope you will see that.

It is also about family, living in more rural places, and how we can, should and must stand up for what we believe in as individuals—and find a way, somehow, someway, to hold our dearest loved ones closer than we hold political beliefs.

Yes, I want to beat the other guy in November. And I also really want to beat my Pop at Canasta this evening after supper, sitting out on the back porch, with the lightening bugs’ magic and the song of the cicadas.

I fight for my beliefs. But I don’t fight with my family about politics. I love them too much to do that. With family, I am less invested in who is right and who is wrong. I am much more invested in what is true. Because family love is true.

Ashley Judd Instagram - There is a lot going on in the world. As I reflect on the multiple instances of institutional betrayal with which so many of us are grappling, I wanted to share some of my thoughts, in no particular order:

There are 3 Pillars of Protest: Protect Free Speech. Adhere to Principles of Civil Disobedience. Institutional Neutrality. The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. described the principle perfectly: “When one breaks the law that conscience tells him is unjust, he must do it openly, he must do it cheerfully, he must do it lovingly, he must do it civilly — not uncivilly — and he must do it with a willingness to accept the penalty.”Destruction of property and violence do not aid any oppressed peoples. And doing so gives material to those who think poorly of protestors to scorn them further.

I was a campus protestor. I helped organize a campus-wide walk-out of classes in protest when the Governor of KY refused to remove a member of the Board of Trustees who called black South Africans the N-word when they were discussing divesting from racist minority rule Apartheid. I helped organize the protest on the steps of the state capital. Protest is righteous and necessary. It must also follow constructive norms.

Samantha Power — whom I hold in very high regard — is the Director of @usaid, and has had the moral courage to do the right thing and simply speak the truth: there is a full-blown famine in Gaza. She is not waiting for the bureaucracy to “approve” this language to declare it. (“Forced starvation:” thank you for this in the comments.

The important documentary, “Screams Before Silence,” details, excruciatingly, horrific male sexual violence by Hamas against Israelis on October 7. First-person accounts, survivors of the sexual violence, and bloody undergarments, it is so difficult to watch and it demonstrates yet again in yet another setting how especially girl’s and women’s bodies are degraded and dehumanized by men in war.

Today, we remember the unforgettable: The Holocaust. We breath for those whose breath was taken. Six million Jewish souls left their bodies, and millions of others were scarred and generations, up to those who are young today, were impacted.

Ashley Judd - 113.5K Likes - My big sister. My protector who powdered me when I was an infant, let me do her Civics homework when I was in 6th grade (which made me feel "big”), who taught me how to drive (it was a 1957 Chevy), with whom I compared mosquito bites after we played in eastern Kentucky creeks looking for crawdads. Oh, yes — she happened to sing some, too.

This past Friday, she sang in Knoxville, and it was glorious. My favorite songs are the ones our Mama wrote, so customized for her voice are they. Thank you to fans for loving my sister @wynonnajudd and helping to give her life purpose and meaning, and for recognizing that she’s indeed the G.O.A.T.

He came into my life when I was 11 and the day we met I was practicing my cheerleader moves - and he let me climb up to stand on his shoulders before we fully knew each others’ names. He’s held me high since then, and with Mom gone, we are closer than ever. Happy Birthday, Pop.

Caption : I love spring birthdays and I love my Pop. He came into my life when I was 11 and the day we met I was practicing my cheerleader moves – and he let me climb up to stand on his shoulders before we fully knew each others’ names. He’s held me high since then, and with Mom gone, we are closer than ever. Happy Birthday, Pop.

Ashley Judd - 24.7K Likes - Celebrate 18 years of recovery with me! Thank you the good people at Shades of Hope who reached out to the “lost child” that I was, offering healing and a ever deeper & more beautiful way of life as the years pass.

There is always a path of peace for us, whether our loved ones change, acknowledge the existence of a problem, or get their own help. We are not betraying them when we ourselves thrive. In fact, we are giving them hope.

Ashley Judd - 18K Likes - This morning, I was excitedly preparing to reserve our Yellowstone National Park backcountry campsites. Jodi Kantor from the NYT called, and texted simultaneously, “pick up rn,” and I did. She shared the news that the New York Court of Appeals had overturned Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 conviction on felony sex crime charges. Yet again, male sexual violence had intruded upon and disturbed a beautiful day, as it does every day in the lives of American women.

We live on a daily basis with male entitlement to our female bodies. The most dangerous place in the US for us is in our homes. The men who most commonly assault, rape, and kill us are men who know.

Each of us who survived Harvey Weinstein’s serial sexual predation knew him. He exploited, gleefully, the asymmetry of power in our relationship to him. He defamed me after I barely evaded his sexual assault in that hotel room in 1996. I did not evade his grotesque sexual harassment, wrath, and punishment. My art and my pocketbook are still different to this day because of him.

The misguided opinion of 4 judges today does not change what we survivors know, and we acknowledge the fierceness of the minority opinion. The truth is consistent.

There are multiple forces at work here. One is the power of those of us with lived experience as survivors of male sexual violence and our voices. When we share our stories, we exercise leadership by sparking others to join us in shared actions toward safety and freedom from sexual harm. We let other folks know we see them, we hear them, we believe them, we love them. We have community.

The other force is institutional betrayal. We must work within and from outside institutions to encourage them to adopt the research-based, concrete actions of Institutional Courage. So many survivors share that the “second rape” and moral injury of institutional betrayal is harder to live with than the original crime against their bodies.

Ashley Judd - 16.5K Likes - I love being a woman, and I cherish the little girl who is still alive inside of me. On #InternationalDayofTheGirl, I get on my knees to give thanks for every girl I have ever met, who has ever allowed me to hold her hand, squeeze her close, stroke and braid her hair, climb a tree, and turn a kart-wheel. I cherish every secret that has been shared, fear divulged, wish made, and dream spoken aloud. Worldwide, girls still suffer for being girls. They do 160 million more hours of household chores than their brothers. They are given less food. They are held back from starting or attending school consistently, or drop out when they begin to menstruate. Many are sexually abused and forced into child marriage. They cannot choose if, when, and how many children to have.

To girls around the world, I hope I have, and will continue, to live up to the sacred responsibility of being your friend. At a time when there is so much darkness, I look at the light in your faces when we are connected faces and am reminded of the hope for our future. @unfpa

They do 160 million more hours of household chores than their brothers. They are given less food. They are held back from starting or attending school consistently, or drop out when they begin to menstruate. Many are sexually abused and forced into child marriage. They cannot choose if, when, and how many children to have. To girls around the world, I hope I have, and will continue, to live up to the sacred responsibility of being your friend. At a time when there is so much darkness, I look at the light in your faces when we are connected faces and am reminded of the hope for our future. @unfpa

Ashley Judd - 13.9K Likes - The first time I was aware something was violated in me was when a man molested me when I was 7 years old. I later learned vocabulary to put to this abrogation of my rights in instruments such as @unitednationshumanrights Convention on the Rights of the Child. All over the world, I have worked with partners like @unfpa to restore and uphold folks’ individual and collective rights, and especially to hold space as they heal from the wounding from violence against their rights. On #HumanRightsDay, I recommit to my, yours, and everyone’s human rights. May we all treat each other with fundamental decency and care.

Ashley Judd - 13.8K Likes - Great Smoky Mountains. Big hikes, sweet strolls, and in the cabin, 18 Chosen Family members trading cooking, chores, filling in a puzzle, playing chess, having a New Years Eve dance party (kiddos with the main moves), hilarious running charades, morning coffee with our readings, quiet conversations in pairs, laughter in groups, and peace all around. It works. We’ve been doing this for many years. Our secret(s) include, at our first meal, everyone shares a memory they would like to make, something they’d be disappointed if they didn’t get to do it, and any group norms they need/would like to ask for (quiet time after 10pm, before 8 am, e.g.). Everyone has full permission to do what they need to do to take care of themself at given moment: a nap, the hot tub, a break....I love these people and their love for me is one of the joys of my life.

Ashley Judd - 12.8K Likes - Replete. My cup is full and runs over. The U2 show at Sphere Las Vegas astonishes, thrills, uplifts, delights, and also holds rapt with an improbably tender intimacy. You can hear Bono whisper - the sound is so pristine and clear - and even sip his water, it seems. Edge is alchemical. Adam is so funky and my insides vibrated to his bass. Larry, love and miss you, hope your recovery is coming along; Bram, you are doing great!! Congratulations to the inspired crew and team for creating a next wave masterpiece, like Willie Williams, pictured, show director, and dearest Brian, security for 30 years and my dear buddy. How else can you wake up fresh and shining in Las Vegas, unless you’ve been with Spirit the night before? God suffers with us. God rejoices in our mirth. A tree gives glory to God by being a tree. So us, let us sing and dance. @u2 @spherevegas #bono #edge #adamclayton #larrymullenjr #family #grateful

You can hear Bono whisper - the sound is so pristine and clear - and even sip his water, it seems. Edge is alchemical. Adam is so funky and my insides vibrated to his bass. Larry, love and miss you, hope your recovery is coming along; Bram, you are doing great!! Congratulations to the inspired crew and team for creating a next wave masterpiece, like Willie Williams, pictured, show director, and dearest Brian, security for 30 years and my dear buddy. How else can you wake up fresh and shining in Las Vegas, unless you’ve been with Spirit the night before? God suffers with us. God rejoices in our mirth. A tree gives glory to God by being a tree. So us, let us sing and dance. @u2 @spherevegas #bono #edge #adamclayton #larrymullenjr #family #grateful

Ashley Judd - 11.6K Likes - Fellow fans, here we go! It is time to root for our @kentuckymbb squad. I am ready to watch the last exhibition game tonight and season kick-off Monday.

My memories of and relationship with the winningest program of all time runs deep and is generational.

I am so grateful for the connections the Kentucky Basketball generates, and for the beautiful hospitality I have always been shown by the Program.

I hear this team is Coach’s fastest, and best passing team (nifty passing thrills me — Patrick Sparks’ no look, behind-the-back, bounce pass).

1996, 1998, 2012 National Championships, I was there, and I’ll be there so my team bring home #9!

Tony Delk is still one of my all time favorites — 7/8 on 3s, and he caused the player he defended to foul out (1996, Meadowlands).
But really, I love them all, because they are Wildcats.

"Jump ball, jump ball, git it, git it!” (Anyone remember that old ditty?)

LET’S GO ‘CATS!
PS Mom said when I was at game, she could pick my voice out of the crowed, hollering!

Ashley Judd - 9.6K Likes - Today I published an essay in @usatoday. I hope you might read the whole piece.

Yes, it is about what I believe is the deeply urgent imperative that a Democrat be voted into the office of President this November.

It is about how I respect and honor President Biden, a deeply decent man, and feel immense gratitude for all that has been gained. I particularly acknowledge his multi-decade commitment to ending male violence against women.

It is about how, at this infection point, I kindly and firmly invite him to voluntarily, gracefully step aside, creating space for a talented, robust Democrat to ensure the incalculable and unprecedented cruelty of a second Trump administration does not inflict harm upon millions of Americans, especially the more vulnerable among us.

And this essay is about more. I hope you will see that.

It is also about family, living in more rural places, and how we can, should and must stand up for what we believe in as individuals—and find a way, somehow, someway, to hold our dearest loved ones closer than we hold political beliefs.

Yes, I want to beat the other guy in November. And I also really want to beat my Pop at Canasta this evening after supper, sitting out on the back porch, with the lightening bugs’ magic and the song of the cicadas.

I fight for my beliefs. But I don’t fight with my family about politics. I love them too much to do that. With family, I am less invested in who is right and who is wrong. I am much more invested in what is true. Because family love is true.

It is about how I respect and honor President Biden, a deeply decent man, and feel immense gratitude for all that has been gained. I particularly acknowledge his multi-decade commitment to ending male violence against women.

It is about how, at this infection point, I kindly and firmly invite him to voluntarily, gracefully step aside, creating space for a talented, robust Democrat to ensure the incalculable and unprecedented cruelty of a second Trump administration does not inflict harm upon millions of Americans, especially the more vulnerable among us.

And this essay is about more. I hope you will see that.

It is also about family, living in more rural places, and how we can, should and must stand up for what we believe in as individuals—and find a way, somehow, someway, to hold our dearest loved ones closer than we hold political beliefs.

Yes, I want to beat the other guy in November. And I also really want to beat my Pop at Canasta this evening after supper, sitting out on the back porch, with the lightening bugs’ magic and the song of the cicadas.

I fight for my beliefs. But I don’t fight with my family about politics. I love them too much to do that. With family, I am less invested in who is right and who is wrong. I am much more invested in what is true. Because family love is true.

Ashley Judd - 9.1K Likes - There is a lot going on in the world. As I reflect on the multiple instances of institutional betrayal with which so many of us are grappling, I wanted to share some of my thoughts, in no particular order:

There are 3 Pillars of Protest: Protect Free Speech. Adhere to Principles of Civil Disobedience. Institutional Neutrality. The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. described the principle perfectly: “When one breaks the law that conscience tells him is unjust, he must do it openly, he must do it cheerfully, he must do it lovingly, he must do it civilly — not uncivilly — and he must do it with a willingness to accept the penalty.”Destruction of property and violence do not aid any oppressed peoples. And doing so gives material to those who think poorly of protestors to scorn them further.

I was a campus protestor. I helped organize a campus-wide walk-out of classes in protest when the Governor of KY refused to remove a member of the Board of Trustees who called black South Africans the N-word when they were discussing divesting from racist minority rule Apartheid. I helped organize the protest on the steps of the state capital. Protest is righteous and necessary. It must also follow constructive norms.

Samantha Power — whom I hold in very high regard — is the Director of @usaid, and has had the moral courage to do the right thing and simply speak the truth: there is a full-blown famine in Gaza. She is not waiting for the bureaucracy to “approve” this language to declare it. (“Forced starvation:” thank you for this in the comments.

The important documentary, “Screams Before Silence,” details, excruciatingly, horrific male sexual violence by Hamas against Israelis on October 7. First-person accounts, survivors of the sexual violence, and bloody undergarments, it is so difficult to watch and it demonstrates yet again in yet another setting how especially girl’s and women’s bodies are degraded and dehumanized by men in war.

Today, we remember the unforgettable: The Holocaust. We breath for those whose breath was taken. Six million Jewish souls left their bodies, and millions of others were scarred and generations, up to those who are young today, were impacted.
