WETUMPKA, ALABAMA: Grace Pauline Kelley has opened up about her arrest earlier this month over indecent public exposure.

The daughter of country singer Wynonna Judd told the New York Post that her mother is not taking her calls anymore.

When was Grace Kelley arrested?

Grace Pauline Kelley has been in Elmore County Jail since her arrest on April 5 for indecent exposure. She was booked for additional soliciting prostitution charges, per jail records.

“I think she’s blocked my number,” Grace Kelley told the outlet from jail.

“My mom, she thinks I’m on drugs, right? She wants me to go to rehab. But when I came to jail, I took a drug test, and I passed it. I’m not on drugs. My mom won’t listen to me, she won’t believe me. She thinks I’m out here doing crazy s**t,” she continued.

Kelley is being held on a $2,000 cash bail. The star kid shared that nobody from her family came to see her, including her actress aunt Ashley Judd or her brother Elijah who is a "game warden in the state of Tennessee".

What were the circumstances of Grace Kelley's arrest?

Police said Kelley was holding a sign that said 'Ride for a Ride' on the side of the road in the Montgomery suburb of Millbrook.

“I was doing it honestly. I literally had a sign that was like, ‘Help me with my ride,'” Kelley insisted.

Grace also talked about her interaction with the cops when they approached her.

“I gave them all my information. I was like, ‘I’m not doing anything wrong. I don’t have any drugs on me'."

"The officer that pulled up, he literally told me to get on my f**king knees . . . so I get on my knees and put my wrists out and I said, ‘I am going to keep walking that way because I have a right to travel'," she recalled.

“He’s like, ‘If you walk that way I’m going to take you to f**king jail'."

"Jail won’t fix bad parenting. Pick up the damn phone," another tweeted.

One user said, "Wow, that's a tough situation for both mother and daughter. I hope they can work through their issues and find a way to communicate and support each other. Sending love and positive thoughts to both of them."
