Wynonna Judd has been left feeling distressed and powerless after her troubled daughter, Grace Pauline Kelley, was arrested for indecent exposure and obstructing government operations in Alabama. Kelley, 27, remains in custody on a $1,000 bond, with no one posting her bail despite her mother’s estimated $12 million net worth. Sources close to the country singer reveal that she is deeply affected by the situation and blames herself for Grace’s misfortunes, particularly due to the emotional toll the incident is taking on her following her mother’s death two years ago.
Wynonna has been working hard to reestablish her relationship with Grace, but feels powerless as she watches her daughter fall off track repeatedly. Despite the family coming together following the death of Naomi Judd, Grace’s latest arrest has taken a heavy toll. Wynonna had been channeling her pain into love for Grace’s daughter, Kaliyah, but is now preparing to take care of her granddaughter in case Grace returns to prison. The emotional pain Wynonna is feeling is intensified by the fact that she blames herself for Grace’s troubles, particularly her addiction.
Grace has a history of drug-related problems and has been in and out of jail for the past nine years. She gave birth to her daughter while in prison and has had multiple legal issues, including violating probation for leaving a recovery program. Wynonna has vowed to be a healthier grandparent and break the cycle of addiction and family dysfunction. Despite Grace’s troubled legal history, Wynonna has stood by her, calling her the strongest Judd woman and defending her actions.
Documents show that Grace exposed herself on a busy highway in Alabama, leading to her arrest for indecent exposure and obstructing government operations. Despite being a Tennessee resident, Grace was in Alabama at the time of the incident. This was not the first time Grace had an encounter with the law; she has a history of drug-related charges and has spent time behind bars for violating probation. Grace has struggled with addiction, with her legal troubles stemming from a 2015 arrest for possessing meth.
Grace’s legal saga began in 2015 when she was arrested with a man for meth-related activities. She later pleaded guilty to possessing meth and served time in jail. In 2023, she violated parole and an order of protection, resulting in a five-month sentence. Wynonna has publicly supported Grace, even in the face of criticism, calling her the strongest Judd woman. Despite their rocky relationship, Wynonna remains committed to helping her daughter overcome her challenges and live a healthy life. Grace’s past behavior, including disappearing for days at age 15, has been well-documented, but Wynonna has continued to stand by her.
