Naomi, Wynonna, and Ashley Judd have been a famous American entertainment family for decades. But, the Judds have a truly complicated relationship. Here's a wide-ranging round-up of their troubles, family dramas, and personal tragedies. Ashley Judd opened the doors to a painful and disturbing past in her 2011 memoir All That is Bitter & Sweet, in which she recounts numerous incidents of abuse she endured. According to excerpts of the book published by Today, Judd alleges that she was "abused by a family member" as a child. She was also the victim of assault after being taken advantage of when she was pursuing a modeling career in Japan at just 15 years old. Another assault followed that experience, when, quote, "an adult male model who lived above her" tried to force himself on her until she could convince him to stop. Judd also alleged that her mother and step-father, Larry Strickland, engaged in shocking and inappropriate behavior in front of her and her sister when they were growing up. Ashley wrote, "I now know this situation is called covert sexual abuse." This all led Judd to contemplate ending her own life as a teenager. In the time since Ashley's damning revelations, both her mother Naomi and sister Wynonna have confessed to being abused by men in their lives as well.
