Julianne Hough

Julianne Hough is on the mend following a shocking revelation that she was the victim of mental and physical abuse as a young girl. But the singer admits that even as an adult, the road to recovery is difficult for someone living with the memories of such destructive behavior.

Actress, dancer and country singer Julianne Hough may appear to have a charmed life, but in a new interview, she reveals that she is a survivor of childhood abuse.

Julianne Hough made a guest appearance on ‘American Idol‘ last night, but the only kicker was that she had no intentions of doing so. After charmer Phillip Phillips sang, Seacrest joined him onstage and shared a little story with viewers, describing how his girlfriend — Hough –had seen Phillips backstage and commented on his looks.
