Wynonna Judd<\/a>‘s daughter, Grace Kelley, is making serious allegations\u00a0involving childhood abuse, betrayal and a claim that her famous mother looked the other way.<\/p>\n In a chat with The Daily Progress<\/a><\/em>, Kelley alleges her former stepfather, D.R. Roach, sexually abused her when she was just 10 years old \u2014 and that her mother not only failed to protect her, but helped cover it up.<\/p>\n Now 29, Kelley is speaking publicly about a painful chapter <\/a>that she says shaped the course of her life and continues to haunt her today.<\/p>\n Kelley claims the abuse began when Roach, Judd\u2019s now-ex-husband<\/a>, was still part of the family.<\/p>\n Judd filed for divorce days after his September 2007 arrest on charges of sexual battery of a minor \u2014 but Kelley says the truth had come out earlier, during family counseling.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen they determined in counseling what he had done to me, they\u2019re like, \u2018Wait a minute<\/a>. We\u2019re going to report this to law enforcement,’\u201d Kelley recalls.<\/p>\n She accuses the country star<\/a> of putting her public image before her role as a mother.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t want to talk bad about my mom, but we\u2019ll just say she\u2019s a good performer,” Kelley adds. “She was never a mother.\u201d<\/p>\n Roach later pleaded guilty to criminal attempt to commit aggravated sexual battery and is still listed on the Tennessee Sex Offender Registry<\/a>.<\/p>\n Kelley has faced a series of legal issues in recent years, including multiple arrests in 2024 and a six-week jail sentence.<\/p>\n Real More:\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Wynonna Judd Explains Why She and Sister Ashley Aren\u2019t as Close as She\u2019d Like<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n But she says she\u2019s now sober, has embraced religion, and is rebuilding her life in Charlottesville, Va.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the \u201cNo One Else on Earth\u201d singer is raising Kelley\u2019s 3-year-old daughter<\/a>, Kaliyah.<\/p>\n Judd has previously spoken publicly about her ex-husband\u2019s arrest. In a 2010 interview with Oprah Winfrey<\/a>, she said she went into \u201cmama bear mode\u201d when the allegations surfaced.<\/p>\n Since 2012, Judd has been married to drummer Cactus Moser and has largely focused on her music career and family life.<\/p>\n But Kelley\u2019s recent claims add a new layer to a painful family history and raise fresh questions about the past and the emotional distance still lingering within one of country music\u2019s most closely followed families<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you or someone you know has been a victim of sexual abuse, text “STRENGTH” to the Crisis Text Line at 741-741 to be connected to a certified crisis counselor.<\/em><\/p>\n The Judds have 14 No. 1 songs and dominated Duo and Group of the Year awards at both the CMA and ACM Awards during the 1980s.
