Ashley Judd responded to the critics who’ve been picking apart her appearance of late. Is she using Botox? The short answer: yes.
According to her February 2020 Instagram post, Judd suffers from chronic migraines, and her insurance covers Botox injections as a “standard treatment.” The American Migraine Foundation confirms that Botox is used by many to treat chronic medical conditions, including migraines. Judd added that her recent weight gain can also be attributed to her most recent siege of migraines. She said the episode lasted a “grueling” four and a half months and led to her neurologist pain specialist banning her from “anything but mild walking exercise.”
As for her current health, there is some good news. The actress said her doctor recently gave her the green light to resume exercise. “It has been joyful to resume running, yoga, and vigorous hiking,” Judd said, adding that she’d be participating in her “favorite” half-marathon this summer.
The actress and activist even acknowledged her privilege as a cis-white woman, saying that the hate she receives is “pretty generic” compared to that received by figures from minority backgrounds, including women of color and members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
“My earnest wish for all of us,” she said, “is that when women speak up and we still get beaten up, speak up anyway.”
