Ashley Judd Accused of Living Her Life like 'A Victim' After Revealing She Wasn't Initially Interested in Music

The veteran actress opened up about finding fame early in life ahead of a documentary about her her family's success. However, some fans were not impressed by her remarks.

Ashley Judd stepped down memory lane in "The Judd Family: Truth Be Told," a "Lifetime TV" special set to premiere on May 10 and 11, 2025. It follows the family's paths to success including the downsides of growing up in the spotlight.

During an interview, the movie actress revealed that she wasn't initially interested in music despite being a part of everything with her mother and sister, Naomi and Wynonna Judd. According to her, she was "deeply affected by everything," growing up, adding:

"But I wasn't interested in being a part of the singing. I had a fiddle, and there's a picture of me on that fiddle and I look as miserable as it sounded."

Netizens reacted to her statement in the comments section after the network shared a clip of the documentary. "She lives her life as a victim," said one fan. Another agreed, "@farbermja Every time I have ever heard her speak about her life, I have thought the same thing. She is completely stuck in victimville, so sad."

"yeah, poor Ashley… Your life was just terrible because your mother and sister were in the music business [sic]," penned another. Someone asked, "What the heck is this ??? Wow. She's got issues."

Ashley, Naomi, and Wynonna rose to fame as the singing band "The Judds." The mother of two sadly died by suicide in April 2022. Her death reportedly forced her daughters to get closer.
