One thing's for sure -- Ashley Judd wont be turning up in a Snoop Dogg or P Diddy video anytime soon.

The Kiss The Girls actress
ripped into the two performers, as well as the world of hip hop "with
it's rape culture and insanely abusive lyrics and depictions of girls
and women as 'ho's'" in her shocking new memoir All That Is Bitter And Sweet - and RadarOnline.com can bring you all her no holds barred comments.

Talking about her work in AIDS awareness, Judd makes her opinion
crystal clear when it comes to the activist organization YouthAIDS
choice in spokespeople for a past campaign, singling out Snoop and
Diddy.

"YouthAIDS created hip public service announcements for TV and radio
using popular local and international celebrities and athletes and was
participating in the MTV World AIDS Day 'Staying Alive' concerts," she
writes.

"Along with other performers, YouthAIDS was supported by rap and
hip-hop artists like Snoop Dogg and P. Diddy to spread the
message...um, who? Those names were a red flag.

"As far as I'm concerned, most rap and hip-hop music -- with it's rape
culture and insanely abusive lyrics and depictions of girls and women
as 'ho's' -- is the contemporary soundtrack of misogyny.

"I believe that the social construction of gender -- the cultural
beliefs and practices that divide the sexes and institutionalize and
normalize the unequal treatment of girls and women, privilege the
interests of boys and men, and, most nefariously, incessantly sexualize
girls and women -- is the root cause of poverty and suffering around
the world."

As RadarOnline.com previously reported Judd is laying it all bare in her new book - detailing her childhood years filled with lies, pain and sexual abuse.

"My mother, while she was transforming herself into the country legend Naomi Judd, created an origin myth for the Judds that did not match my reality," Ashley shares.

"She and my sister [Wynonna]
have been quoted as saying that our family put the 'fun' in
dysfunction. I wondered: 'Who, exactly, was having all the fun? What
was I missing?'"

LOL, this is the dumbest thing I've read in a long while. I can't stand when self-righteous *white* people try to slam a culture they know NOTHING about. Rap music doesn't cause suffering. Disrespect and contempt for women has been going on before rap started. What does she say about rock music and their bands like Motley Crue? And how the fuck are you going to differentiate poverty and suffering between men and women? Like men and young boys can't experience it too. Is she for real? Good look peddling that garbage book. I see why the Judd's are fucked up.

What stupid shit to say. This is not defending her in any way, but I can see why she would opt to have that kind of garbage in her book...these days everyone has a memoir, so there has to be some buzz-worthy opinions in the content, or it won't sell as well.

This is one book I won't be buying. It's one thing for a celebrity to write an autobiography and talk about their failures and triumphs (like anyone cares in the first place, right?), but it's a whole other (arrogant) thing for a celebrity to try and sound like a philosopher.
