Wynonna and Naomi Judd Sound Off about Ashley Judd's Memoir

Wynonna and Naomi Judd are sounding off about Ashley Judds's new memoir, All That Is Bitter and Sweet, that hits stores this week. Wynonna told Entertainment tonight that "The veil has been lifted. Secrets keep you sick and families will heal once you get real." In her book, Ashley Judd reveals deep, dark Judds family secrets. Ashley says that she was molested as a child…by someone the family new very well…even calling it “incest”. She also criticizes her mother, country music legend, Naomi Judd. In an excerpt from the book Ashley writes,"I loved my mother. But at the same time I dreaded the mayhem and uncertainty that followed her everywhere...I often felt like an outsider observing my mom's life as she followed her own dreams." In a television interview on the TODAY show, Ashley said she tells her side of the story. Watch Ashley's TODAY SHOW interview here: Ashley Judd's Memoir

Naomi wasn’t angry with Ashley for writing the book. In fact, Naomi handled the book’s accusations with grace saying, "I think it's key for us to spend time figuring our own reality. Every unhappiness is tied to a story, and we have to go back and figure out our stories.” Ashley commented on her mom’s reaction to her book in her TV interview saying, “I’m really grateful for my mother’s exquisitely gracious attitude towards my right to share my narrative.

And Wynonna commented on Ashley’s book too, saying that she is proud of her sister. The new docu-series about Wy and Naomi, The Judds, premieres on OWN this Sunday night. And they supposedly air even more of the family’s secrets. Watch the preview of The Judds show here:
