1. So, a full time, successful actress is also regional account rep for some truckstop operation?

You conclude this is the same Ashley Judd, why?

[Dorian Gray]

17. That was my initial response

There are probably more than one Ashley Judd.

[CreekDog]

35. Isn't Ashley Judd a stage name anyway?

she was born Ashley Tyler Ciminella.

[hlthe2b]

36. LOL... well, there you go.

[Warren DeMontague]

2. I think that's a different Ashely Judd.

[MADem]

3. Are you suggesting this is the same person?

That the actress worth millions moonlights as a truck stop "Regional Account Representative?"

And goes in to an office everyday?

What are you suggesting, here?

[Recursion]

4. I think it's because actors only very rarely make the transition to politics successfully

Not because a different person with the same name as her did something stupid.

Running for Senate requires a very deep bank of human capital that takes decades to build up.

Actually, the people who would probably be really good at it are producers, rather than actors. Wag the Dog kind of explores that.

5. A pic of the account rep (different Ashley Judd) from the co. blog:

9. Due to some of the comments here, I've been digging deeper to find out for sure, but this photo

doesn't really prove much, when compared to these photos below: They do bear some resemblance, don't they?

Since many think of of her looking more like this:



It's not uncommon for celebrities, musicians and/or sports figures to have other money-making jobs/ causes on the side. Given her interest in politics, it wouldn't be a stretch to be involved with a rich, politically influential family, even if they are on the other side of the aisle.

If someone gives some more definative proof, I will gladly apologize, admit my mistake, and delete the post.

[cui bono]

11. Uh, no, that's not the same woman.

And no, rich celebrities don't have desk jobs for truck stops. They may have causes they work for voluntarily, but they do not have desk jobs.

[magellan]

12. The three women in that photo are shown here in a couple more photos

http://blog.pilotflyingj.com/60-miles-for-a-cure/

Clearly none of them are Ashley Judd the actress.

[Euphoria]

13. So when are you going to delete this post?

[muriel_volestrangler]

14. This is comedy gold!

Thank you for being willing to say this in public. Lesser people would have self-deleted by now. But if a joke is worth making, it's worth seeing through to the end.

[alcibiades_mystery]

22. Please dear God tell me this is satire of Internet sleuthing

Oh dear God please!

[muriel_volestrangler]

24. Or closed caption identification of suspects as movie stars

27. Regional Account Rep? Really?

I'd like to think this is satire. It's not an unusual name, even my name which seems unusual, there are thousands who have it (yes, same first and last and it's more distinctive than Ashley Judd).

I can't believe you think Ashley Judd is on the phone all day as an managing account reps, like a regional manager for a truck stop chain.

I think this is the stupidest thing I'll read all day.

[BlueStreak]

34. Surprising that she had time for the truck stop job

because I heard she works night shifts at the 7-11.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

41. Well, they're both female.

That's a start.

[magellan]

6. Wrong Ashley Judd

The one in the affidavit lives in Nashville proper. Ashley Judd the actress lives in Leiper’s Fork, outside Nashville in the country, near her sister Wynnona.

eta link to photos of their homes: http://natchez-trace.thefuntimesguide.com/2007/12/judds_farm_natchez_trace_parkw.php

Check that against the google streetview for the address in the affidavit, 4302 Dakota Ave, Nashville.

[maddezmom]

15. The OP should self delete this Crap OP

[Tanuki]

29. Moreover, a property search shows that the .17 acre property at that address

is owned by one Kevin Hascome. OMG!! OMG!! OMG!!1! This must explain why the actress Ashley Judd recently separated from her race car champion husband Dario Franchitti!!! The OP has solved multiple mysteries!!!!!

7. You should probably have thought this through before posting

A little skepticism is a good thing.

[AngryOldDem]

8. I really doubt Ashley Judd is working for Flying J truck stops.

I dunno...just call it a hunch of mine.

ON EDIT: I think you should seriously consider self-deleting this.

[cui bono]

10. She didn't drop out since she never ran for senate.

And yeah, I doubt very much that is the same Ashley Judd. Why would she be a Regional Account Representative when she makes bank as an actress?

[aikoaiko]

16. I just have to copy this for posterity.

Could this be a reason Ashley Judd dropped out of her Senate bid against Mitch McConnell?

Edit history (1)

She's been a Regional Account Rep. for Pilot Travel, aka Pilot/Flying J truck stops, owned & operated by the family of Tenn. Govenor Bill Haslam. The company is under investigation for fraud against numerous commercial trucking companies for cheating them out of rebates they were offered for doing business with (buying their fuel from) Pilot/Flying J...

On March 7, 2013, CHS-2 advised that during a conversation with Regional Account Representative Ashley Judd, Judd told CHS-2 that she spoke with the Regional Sales Managers that she supports over the phone each month about their Customer deals and rebates, that she was reducing her Customers' rebate amounts, and the she did not send e-mails related to the rebate reductions, but kept a file in her desk drawer related to the rebate reductions. Judd told CHS-2 that if anyone ever came in the office that that file would be first one that Judd would burn.

Go to the link, look for the search box in the upper right corner, type in Ashley Judd and hit enter. It will show you the 3 pages (out of 120 pages of the affidavit) where she is mentioned. The very first page also shows addresses of businesses and residences to be searched. I'm pretty sure the residence in Nashville is Ashley Judds.

Read as much of the affidavit as you can, just to get a scope of the ongoing, widespread fraud and theft involved in this case.

18. so a successful actress moonlights for truck stops? bwahahahahahahaaaaa

20. Ashley Judd is very unhappy with you

When she gets done mowing my lawn, she'd like a word with you.

[JoePhilly]

26. Impossible, I just saw her delivering phone books in my neighborhood.

[Phillip McCleod]

21. are you serious?!?

i hope you aren't proud of yourself for this bit of internet detective work. maybe you should be working internet traffic instead.. little white gloves n' all.

seriously. this is pathetic.

[alcibiades_mystery]

23. This is the BEST SATIRE of INTERNET SLEUTHING EVER!!!!

Are you kidding me? You are a genius. An absolute, Andy Kaufmanesque GENIUS.

After a week during which the Internet collectively made a goddamn fool of itself with its Internet Sleuthing, you post this: an Internet sleuthing satire in which you pretend that actress Ashley Judd works part time as a regional sales rep for a trucking company. People go berserk, post pictures of the Ashley Judd who works for the trucking company, and in perhaps the best satire ever posted on this board, you post pictures of actress Ashley Judd and say, "Well, it does resemble her."

I'm literally crying laughing.

Pure brilliance!

This is the most brilliant takedown of the Sunil Tripathi floggers (and their ilk) yet. Tremendously smart satire!

Thank you!!!!

[auntAgonist]

25. Go to GOOGLE, type in YOUR name and see what idiocy you can find about 'you'.

Do you seriously believe this to be the same person?

I've typed in my real name and come up with thousands of women with the same name. I could be in politics, have a Phd. I'm a dentist in another state, hell I'm probably involved in politics somewhere.


research thoroughly.

then delete your OP perhaps?

28. This IS intended to be satirical, right?

nt

[SidDithers]

31. I thought it might be...

But the mean-spirited post comparing a current-day, heavier Judd to the skinnier Judd from her A-List actor days convinced me otherwise.

That post turned the thread from good-hearted fun, to nasty.

33. sometimes wonder what it would be like to share the name with someone famous

a family with the last name of hitler run a storage unit development near me

always wondered if they would name a kid adolf.......

[CreekDog]

37. This is a textbook DU moment where OP is completely, utterly wrong, and OP won't admit it

OP thinks they are really clever and doubles down, not admitting they are wrong.

Ends up getting remembered not for being wrong (because, hey, we all make mistakes), but gets remembered for having the hubris to not be able to admit a big one.

This is a DU classic.

40. I can't decide if this is satire or not, but either way,

kudos to you - this is one of the funnier things I've read here.

[Nye Bevan]

42. Why the scepticism in this thread? Paul Simon successfully pursued dual careers,

as an excellent Senator and a successful singer-songwriter, to take another example.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

45. Then you have Ted Williams.

He hit .406 for the Boston Red Sox in 1941.

Sadly, he then hit a rough spot in his life and ended down and out on the streets, until one day someone was passing by, noticed he had a remarkably smooth, radio friendly voice, recorded it, and he became an internet sensation.
