Ashley Judd is pretty, interesting, and Jason Patric hates her. Seeing how Jason Patric is the kind of guy who steals bartenders’ tips, I’d take that as a compliment if I were her. But life wasn’t always pretty, interesting, and full of Jason Patric hate–Ashley’s releasing a new memoir called All That Is Bitter & Sweet and in it, she reveals a childhood full of abuse, neglect, and drugs. She writes:
“My mother, while she was transforming herself into the country legend Naomi Judd, created an origin myth for the Judds that did not match my reality. She and my sister [Wynonna Judd] have been quoted as saying that our family put the ‘fun’ in dysfunction. I wondered: ‘Who, exactly, was having all the fun? What was I missing?’”
Ashley goes on to say that after her father, who always had weed and acid around the house, left, Naomi had a string of creepy junkie boyfriends in and out of the house with whom she would have loud sex. And Ashley herself was abused by a neighborhood dude:
“An old man everyone knew beckoned me into a dark, empty corner of the business and offered me a quarter for the pinball machine at the pizza place if I’d sit on his lap. He opened his arms, I climbed up, and I was shocked when he suddenly cinched his arms around me, squeezing me and smothering my mouth with his, jabbing his tongue deep into my mouth.”
She also relates her history with depression and the time she was raped as a young model in Japan. I don’t know about you, but I don’t hear any sweet in this tale, only bitter, so maybe she should reconsider the book’s title. I’d like to suggest My Life: WTF Is Up with That, I Mean Seriously! Nuts!!!
