Wynonna girl ‘cut off’ in jail
Judd won’t take calls
Wynonna Judd’s daughter says her famous mom won’t take her calls.
“I think she’s blocked my number,” Grace Kelley told The Post during an exclusive phone interview from jail.
Kelley (inset), 27, is cooling her heels in Alabama’s Elmore County Jail after being arrested April 5 for indecent exposure. This week, she was slapped with an additional soliciting prostitution, according to jail records.
“My mom, she thinks I’m on drugs, right? She wants me to go to rehab. But when I came to jail, I took a drug test, and I passed it. I’m not on drugs,” she said. “My mom won’t listen to me, she won’t believe me. She thinks I’m out here doing crazy s--t.”
Kelley, who lives “here, there and everywhere,” is being held on $2,000 cash bail.
She said no one from her famous family, including her actress aunt Ashley Judd, or her brother Elijah, a “game warden in the state of Tennessee,” has contacted her.
She wondered if her grandmother Naomi Judd’s suicide in 2022 contributed to her misfortune: “I don’t know if when my grandma shot herself she like cursed me.”
Cops said they spotted Kelley holding a sign that said “Ride for a Ride” on the side of the road in the Montgomery suburb of Millbrook.
Kelley said she was initially charged with criminal impersonation. After her identity was confirmed, she claims her charges were changed to disorderly conduct and obstructing governmental operations, and later the indecent exposure charge was added.
“They done me wrong, they put me in this chair where they had me strapped down where it literally broke skin. They put me in a padded room with a hole in the floor . . . and I was in there for three days strapped to a chair. No water, no toilet, no nothing,” Kelley claimed. “My wrists are literally scabbed over from the restraint chair because they did it so tight on me because I was basically cussing all of them, telling them to go to hell because they had no reason to arrest me.”
She said she was never dressed indecently. “Cause of who my family is, it’s either a blessing or a curse, it’s almost like they’re trying to throw the book at me,” she said.
Kelley — Judd’s daughter with businessman Arch Kelley III — has a history of trouble with the law.
In 2015, she was arrested in Nashville, Tenn., and later pleaded guilty to possessing meth. She was sentenced to eight years in prison, with a temporary leave to welcome her daughter, Kaliyah Chanel, in March 2022. She was arrested again in May 2023 for violating her parole.
“I’m trying to get back on my feet, but I have no help from family. I have no help from anybody,” she said. When asked what she would like to say to Wynonna, she said, “I’m innocent.”
The Millbrook Police Department did not return calls. Wynonna Judd also didn’t return messages.
