Daughter of Wynonna Judd arrested and charged for soliciting prostitution, indecent exposure
Holiday gatherings at country music legend Wynonna Judd's house are going to be a bit awkward from here on out.
According to PageSix, her daughter, Grace Kelley, 27, was recently arrested and charged with indecent exposure, obstructing governmental operations, and soliciting prostitution.
The charges were confirmed by the Elmore County Sheriff’s Office.
Clearly, the country music legend's daughter is beyond troubled. Police say she was sitting on the side of the road with her chest and groin region exposed, and held up a lewd sign that said "a rid for a ride," according to Millbrook, Ala. Police Chief P.K. Johnson.

Kelley has had a number of run-ins with law enforcement over the years and has clearly been a constant headache for her music superstar mother.
PageSix noted:
She was first sent to the slammer in 2015 for drug-related charges and was sentenced to eight years in prison in 2018 for violating her probation.
She was released early in 2019, but ended up back behind bars for a probation violation in 2021, according to the U.S. Sun. The outlet also reported she was in and out of prison between 2022 and 2023.
Kelley was reportedly on parole until 2024, though it's not clear until what date. Obviously, her most recent round of charges could easily land her in significant legal trouble if she was once again in violation of her probation.
The country music star's daughter welcomed a child into the world in 2022, in between prison stints. Judd is currently caring for the child, given that its mother is having a difficult time staying out of legal trouble.
Judd bragged her granddaughter in a 2022 interview, saying, "She’s 6 months old and she doesn’t speak yet but she looks right through me."
"She gives me hope…. They give you hope; they give you something to think about other than yourself," Judd said at the time. "Because so much of what we do is about us, so it’s nice to be with her because she doesn’t care what I look like."
Social media users reacted to Kelley's latest run-in with law enforcement.
"Loving detachment. Sadly addicts have to find their own bottom. Hopefully the granddaughter is being taken care of away from the daughter," one X user wrote.
Kelley is scheduled for a sentencing hearing on April 25.
