Ashley Judd revealed last week in a New York Times story that she had been sexually harassed by movie mogul Harvey Weinstein in a hotel room 20 years ago when she was making Kiss The girls for his studio Miramax.
The 49-year-old star’s report helped other women speak up and eventually the 65-year-old New Yorker was fired from the studio he helped create. Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie and others have also recounted stories similar to Judd’s.
On Tuesday the beauty’s mother Naomi Judd, 71, made a comment on her daughter’s bravery when out with her husband Larry Strickland in Nashville, Tennessee. ‘I’m incredibly proud of her. There are many. Ashley was the first,’ said said.
