Ashley Judd in ICU after accident in Congo

[Anonymous]

If I'm in some injury, you won't see me being photographed anywhere. Who took those photos?
I hope she gives a huge donation to the medical facilities and people who helped her. If not money directly to them, some type of educational services to the village.

So much for staying home wearing your mask - such privilege. I love France (she loves Congo) but you don't see me freaking going there.

I hope she gets better but I bet there is a back story.

I think her family has had such significant pathology in their history, (they admit as much) and so she has suffered a good deal of emotional deprivation and abuse/trauma in her childhood, I respect her in many ways, I just find the underlying histrionic streak in all of the Judds to be wearying, her and her mother in particular seem compelled to photograph and display their pain and yet I understand her drive to save others and to save the world. She needed saving as a little girl and no one was there for her. She at least tries to use her fame for good, which is commendable. I can think of worse celebrities.

This pretty much sums it up. I think she's somewhat troubled, but when you read about her childhood, that's not suprising.

Wow! I am glad that she is ok now and getting medical attention. That was pretty dangerous.

I thought she was always very pretty. I loved her poem that she read during the women's March. I know a lot of older White Republican women are triggered but it was right to speak out against #DiaperDon - the whoremonger, rapist POTUS who wants to fu$ck his own daughter....plus he was incompetent, ignorant, racist, anti-American, corrupt and misogynistic.

I think she is a hero.

Yes, who is it?

Did she refer to a life partner at some point? I only know she divorced the hot race car driver, who promptly remarried and had a couple of kids with some young model type.

She is raising awareness about the bonobos, about whom I knew nothing until I read this. Maybe it will inspire donations etc. But do I think she should be doing this during a global pandemic? Of course not.

Oh please.

She‘s one of the wealthiest white women and was photographed being literally carried on the backs of strong Black men.

And Congo has hospitals, you know. Do you think any of the men in that photo would be flown to South Africa if they broke their leg? (or for any reason?)

She just another ultra-rich, Holly-weird raised, privileged, arrogant white who thinks she is above Covid rules (I’m sure she thinks: “ let the poors and the little people stay at home; I will do as I please).

Really? You knew NOTHING about bonobos until Ashley Judd broke her leg? Did you not go to high school? Have you never watched a documentary on PBS?

She literally says that if she were Congolese she’d have lost her leg or died.

She addresses that in the article.

Also, I will guarantee you that every person in Congo that has the means to get to South Africa for medical treatment for a serious illness or injury would do so. I don't think it's really fair to call her out on that. You'd do the same.

What type of research do you do in France
