And...?
Why are you posting this?
Judd experienced her own mental health battles, which she wrote about in her 2011 memoir, "All That is Bitter and Sweet." In the book, she urges those experiencing grief or struggling with mental health to seek the help they need.
shareI have mental health issues. Hollywood is, theoretically my escape from them. The whole MeToo movement actually exacerbated my mental health issues. Maybe that makes me 'selfish,' but if you prize honesty, then I'm going to be honest.
I don't begrudge Judd for her experiences and her advocacy. I would just prefer to see happier women in Hollywood. Tragedy and trauma is a BIG TURN-OFF, and not what I watch films for. When I watch a movie, I hate to be reminded that the 'hot' woman I'm watching was raped as a kid.
Once again, I apologise for my 'selfishness' and 'misogyny', but NO-ONE forced Ashley Judd to become an actor. She would have made a much better politician, campaigner or therapist, but I wish Hollywood focused on hiring HAPPY, TRAUMA-FREE people. Watching rape-victims is depressing and upsetting. Like I say, for people like me who have mental health issues, and experienced sexual assault ourselves (I discovered film around the same period I'd just been sexually assaulted by another boy at school), HOLLYWOOD is supposed to be a HAPPY ESCAPE.
I wish you a speedy recovery.
Regarding Ashley, part of the sexual assaults she endured is directly linked to Hollywood and the casting couch!
I'm in my forties now. I will NEVER recover.
Fair enough about Hollywood abuse, although the 'casting couch' strikes me as something entirely different to RAPE. Doesn't 'casting couch' describe a reciprocal relationship in which someone offers a part to another person if they consent to sleeping with them? I'm not saying it's right (it isn't), but it's insulting to ACTUAL rape survivors, who are the victims of forced sex.
'Doesn't 'casting couch' describe a reciprocal relationship in which someone offers a part to another person if they consent to sleeping with them?'
That's how I always understood it, a 'You do this for me, I'll do this for you' kinda thing.
Rape's rape, I'd never call it 'casting couch'.
You may be the most honest person here!
shareShe have, eh?
share“I tried to find him and he surfaced very easily, and to make a long story short, we ended up in rocking chairs sitting by a creek together. And I said, ‘I’m very interested in hearing the story you’ve carried all these years.’ And we had a restorative-justice conversation about that."
Sounds like she had sex with the dude and during the next morning's walk of shame, decided she was "raped".
People should really pay attention to what they are wearing.
shareIf you pay attention to celebrity gossip, apparently every female in film, tv, and pop music has been raped. It's their badge of belonging.
