Mother of Wynonna Judd Allegedly Hides Incidents of Stepfather's Sexual Misconduct, Claims Daughter

Grace Kelley, the daughter of country music icon Wynonna Judd, is working on a memoir titled "Pronoia" to share her difficult story of childhood in Nashville. In the book, Kelley will delve into her personal challenges and the abuse she allegedly suffered at the hands of her former stepfather, D.R. Roach.

Roach was married to Wynonna Judd from 2003 to 2007, and Kelley was 10 years old during the alleged abuse. The identity of Roach's victim was never publicly identified. Roach was arrested in Abilene, Texas, on three counts of aggravated sexual battery on a minor under the age of 13.

According to People, when they found out about the abuse, they intended to report it to law enforcement. However, there is no information available about Grace Kelley's reaction or approval regarding the publication of the book "Pronoia" that deals with her difficult childhood experiences in Nashville.

Kelley made these claims in an interview with the Daily Progress in July. She expressed that she believes now is her time to speak out about her experiences, referencing the Bible, stating that the truth will set you free.

Grace Kelley has had personal challenges in recent years. She recently served a six-week jail sentence for felony grand larceny and driving without a license. Despite these difficulties, Kelley has been focused on staying sober and her daughter Kaliyah in recent times. She has relocated to Charlottesville, Virginia, where she continues to work on her recovery.

Wynonna Judd filed for divorce from Roach shortly after his arrest. In an interview with Ladies Home Journal later that year, Judd stated that she knew what she was getting into when she married Roach and tried to change him. Judd also released a statement on her website expressing her shock and sadness at the charges against Roach.

A representative for Wynonna Judd did not immediately respond to a request for comment from HuffPost. The publication of "Pronoia" is expected to shed more light on Grace Kelley's difficult past and her journey to healing.
