Wynonna Judd Still Fuming Over Mom’s Suicide
New Interview Sheds Light on Her Pain
In an all‑out confession to CBS Sunday Morning, 58‑year‑old Wynonna Judd let the world in on the raw anger that still burns after Naomi Judd, her mother‑turned‑singer‑partner, took her own life in April.
Here’s how she described the moment: She received a call, rushed to the hospital, kissed Naomi’s forehead, and then… she was left staring at a porch with her head spinning. “I didn’t know she was in that place when she ended it,” she says. “I only knew she’d had ups and downs before.”
When asked if the fury will fade, Wynonna shook her head. “No,” she told the interviewer. “Not anytime soon.”
Still Feeling Mom’s Presence…and a Tiny Dose of Anger
- “I still feel her nudging me,” she says, laughing at the thought.
- She sometimes cries out, “I miss you. Why aren’t you here so we can fight?”
- She remembers a sweet moment when Naomi whispered, “My life is better because of you.”
Wynonna, whose career spiked with the help of her mom, is about to hit the stage in a tour that would have reunited the legendary duo. She’s set to admit on opening night that this isn’t the plan she imagined, demanding, “You’re not here—why is it a mess?”
Family Drama: Leaving Out the Kids and Eyeing the Husband
Apparently Naomi left both Wynonna and her daughter Ashley (54) out of her will, instead handing her estate to long‑time husband, Larry Strickland.
The toxicology report revealed Naomi’s body packed a hefty cocktail of drugs—insomnia meds, Parkinson’s pills, depression tablets, and seizure meds—right at the moment she slipped into the void.
