Actress Ashley Judd, 54, has revealed that her mother, country music legend Naomi Judd, 76, used a gun to kill herself on April 30. The statement was made this Thursday (12) in an interview with Diane Sawyer, from Good Morning America.
“As we don’t want this to be part of the gossip economy, I’m going to share with you that she used a gun, my mom used a firearm,” Ashley said, adding that she is in a position that if she doesn’t, someone else will.”
The actress stated that the mother was seen and heard in her distress, and taken home.” “When we are talking about mental illness, it is very important to be clear and distinguish between our loved one and the illness. It’s too real, it’s a lie, it’s wild.”
The Judds, the duo formed by Naomi and daughter Wynonna Judd, 57, were set to celebrate their induction into Nashville’s Country Music Hall of Fame the next day. Ashley and Wynonna attended the ceremony to accept the honor and delivered a tearful speech.
Ashley said in her speech at the time that her mother couldn’t make it until she was inducted into the Hall of Fame by her peers because she didn’t know how to deal with what was going on inside her. “The barrier between the consideration with which they treated her could not penetrate her heart, and the lie that the disease told her was so convincing.”
