Actress Ashley Judd has never been one to shy away from provocative topics, so the recent onslaught of criticism geared towards her so called “puffy” appearance soured her long-awaited return to the small screen.
After trying in vain to ignore the vicious rumors, Judd decided to eloquently express her disgust and disappointment via The Daily Beast. The article is breathtakingly honest and painstakingly precise as she dives into the treacherous waters that mercilessly thrashes women whose lives are forever linked with the unforgiving glares of the spotlight.
Judd dutifully notes that as a 43 year old woman with a face that still remains wrinkle free, she embraces the face she has at the moment and doesn’t long for the profile she sported 14 years ago, during the height of her career. Media outlets relentlessly perpetuated the idea that Judd’s rounder face was as a result of too many botox shots as opposed to her slight weight gain and consequences of steroids that were needed to combat her illness. The actress, who is currently starring in ABC’s ‘Missing’, emphatically denies having any work done and expresses her sadness at the fact that most of detractors were in fact women.
Her words are graphically prudent and her approach is direct and effective. Definitely worth checking out!
