Speak Up: Celebs Who Overcame Sexual Abuse As Children
Ashley Judd
Writing can be therapeutic for many and actress Ashley Judd used her memoir to release a heavy burden off of her chest and inspire other women at the same time. The “Double Jeopardy” star opened up about the time she was raped at just five years old. She followed an old man into an abandoned building after she was promised a quarter for the pinball machine. Judd said she became vocal about this sensitive topic because “it’s my job to break my isolation and talk with other girls and other women.”
