ASHEY JUDD TALKS ABORTION: Ashley Judd is speaking out about her decision to have an abortion after being raped. At Tina Brown‘s 10th annual Women in the World Summit on Thursday, the 50-year-old says that she was the victim of incest and sexual assault. “As everyone knows, and I’m very open about it, I’m a three-time rape survivor. And one of the times I was raped, there was conception, and I’m very thankful I was able to access safe and legal abortion,” Judd said. “Because that rapist, who is a Kentucky-ian, as am I, and I reside in Tennessee, has paternity rights in Kentucky and Tennessee. I would have had to co-parent with a rapist.” She also discussed Harvey Weinstein, who she has also accused of rape. (He denies the allegations). “I told the story of Harvey’s sexual harassment of me the moment after it happened,” Judd recalled at the Women in the World Summit. “My dad was with me and I came down to the hotel lobby and he still says to this day that he could tell from the look on my face that something devastating had happened…I told everybody about it, but no one was able or willing to listen. That was in June 1996.”
