The widow of country music singer Naomi Judd<\/a> has confirmed she once shot a gun at him after finding out he\u2019d cheated.<\/p>\n

Judd was best known for being part of the duo The Judds with her daughter Wynonna.<\/p>\n

After forming in 1980, they went on to win five Grammy Awards<\/a> and nine Country Music Association awards however stopped performing in 1991 after Naomi was diagnosed with hepatitis.<\/p>\n

In 2022, the day before The Judds were inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, she died by suicide<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A few years on her widower Larry Strickland \u2013 whom she married in 1989 \u2013 has spoken about their at-times tumultuous relationship.<\/p>\n

This week a new documentary titled The Judd Family: Truth Be Told has been airing on the United States.<\/p>\n

Recalling their first meeting, Strickland said it was \u2018almost love at first sight\u2019 however Judd once said that while they were \u2018wildly, madly, passionately in love\u2019, he was never home.<\/p>\n

In her 2016 memoir, River of Time: My Descent into Depression and How I Emerged With Hope, Judd detailed how she once received a phone call from a woman who said she \u2018loved and missed\u2019 Strickland.<\/p>\n

Realising her husband had been unfaithful, Judd cut up all of her photos of him and threw his belongings into their garden in trash bags.<\/p>\n

\u2018Oh, it was hell. I heard everything,\u2019 her daughter Ashley Judd recalled in the series. \u2018I heard Mum\u2019s phone calls to him on the road, I heard them fight, I heard them not fight, I heard it all.<\/p>\n

In 1995, Judd produced a TV movie about her life called Naomi & Wynonna: Love Can Build a Bridge, which included a scene where she shot at her husband after accusing him of infidelity.<\/p>\n

After being asked about the incident in the new documentary, Strickland added: \u2018Well, it really happened, that\u2019s all I can say,\u201d Strickland said in episode 2 after watching the clip. \u201cThat\u2019s all I wanna say. It happened.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite their marriage troubles, the couple stayed together until her death.<\/p>\n

Speaking about Judd taking her own life, Strickland said she was struggling behind the scenes.<\/p>\n

\u2018There was a couch, and in the latter days, she laid on that couch. She just couldn\u2019t get off of that couch,\u2019 he recalled.<\/p>\n

\u2018Toward the end, the last year of her life, it was just about every night she would be in a panic mode.\u2019<\/p>\n

When announcing Judd\u2019s death in April 2022, her daughters shared that she had died \u2018to the disease of mental illness\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018Today we sisters experienced a tragedy. We lost our beautiful mother to the disease of mental illness. We are shattered,\u2019 the statement read.<\/p>\n

\u2018We are navigating profound grief and know that as we loved her, she was loved by her public. We are in unknown territory.\u2019<\/p>\n

Judd was struggling with bipolar at the time, with her family revealing she was also grappling with post-traumatic stress.<\/p>\n

A month later her autopsy revealed she\u2019d died from a gunshot wound which was self-inflicted.<\/p>\n
