Naomi Judd once shot in Larry Strickland about unfaithfulness.
Naomi Judd And Larry Strickland Were married for more than 30 years, so many storms were intertwined during their relationship – including accusations of unfaithfulness.
In the new lifetime series The Judd family: The truth is toldStrickland opened about his marriage to Judd, who died by suicide in April 2022 at the age of 76. “I mean, it was almost a love at first sight,” Strickland recalled in episode 2 of the series, which premiered on Saturday 10 May.
While Judd and Strickland made the knot in 1989, their romance was not always sunshine and roses. While she told her memoirs, she once received a phone call from a woman who said she was missing Strickland. In response, Judd cut all her photos from Strickland and threw his things in the garden into garbage bags.
“Oh, it was hell. I heard everything,” Naomi’s daughter Ashley Judd recalled in the docuseries. “I heard the phone calls from mother on the road, I heard them fight, I didn’t hear them fight, I heard it all.”
In 1995 Naomi produced a TV film about her life called Naomi & Wynonna: Love can build a bridgeWho included a scene in which Naomi shot on Strickland after he had accused him of unfaithfulness.
“Well, it really happened, that’s all I can say,” said Strickland in episode 2 after viewing the clip. “That’s all I want to say. It happened.”
Despite their ups and downs, Strickland and Naomi stayed together until her death. While her suicide came a shock for fans, Strickland said she was struggling behind the scenes at the end of her life.
“There was a bank and in the last days she put on that couch. She just couldn’t get rid of that bank,” he remembered. “By the end, the last year of her life, it was just about every night that she would be in a panic mode.”
Naomi’s oldest daughter, Wynonna JuddAlso called the bank and admitted that she didn’t always know how much her mother was suffering.
“One of the things I didn’t know is how much she was struggling on the couch,” the singer, 60, remembered. “That stupid bank, she spent a lot of time there, and I didn’t know that.
Naomi’s brother Mark Judd Reflected that sentiment in the docuseries and said, “I think something was missing in her childhood and not really got a lot of support from her parents.” He added that performance was an outlet for her because it helped her to stimulate her self -respect. “
