Shot through the heart.
Naomi Judd’s widower, Larry Strickland, confirmed that the country star shot him with a gun after learning of his infidelity during their marriage.
In the new Lifetime docuseries “The Judd Family: Truth Be Told,” Strickland, 79, discussed Judd’s 1995 TV movie, “Naomi & Wynonna: Love Can Build a Bridge,” which is based on a true story and features a scene where Judd, played by Kathleen Yorkshot, shoots Strickland, played by Bruce Greenwood, after he cheated on her.
“Well, it really happened,” Strickland said in the doc, according to People.
“That’s all I can say. That’s all I’m gonna say. It happened,” he added.
The docuseries also reportedly featured a voiceover of Judd’s 1993 memoir “Love Can Build a Bridge,” where the late star said the couple were “wildly, madly, passionately in love” but Strickland was never home.
Judd also claimed that a woman from the Northeast once called their home in Nashville in the 1980s and said how much “she loved and missed” Strickland.
When Strickland returned home, Judd allegedly tore up photos of them and threw his belongings into a garbage bag in their yard.
Strickland and Judd met in 1979. They tied the knot ten years later.
The couple stayed married until Judd died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in April 2022 at the age of 76.
Later that year, Strickland said in an interview with People that Judd’s final months before her suicide were “chaotic.”
“It was extremely hard. She had several therapists that she was seeing, and her energy level had gotten really low,” he said about the actress, who dealt with years of mental health struggles before her death.
Strickland added that he wasn’t aware of how bad Judd’s anxiety and depression were until it was too late.
“I just feel like I might have overdone it,” he explained to the outlet. “I was trying to get her to eat. I was trying to get her to exercise. I handled her medications and had to make sure she had what she needed. I was trying every way I could.”
The singer added, “To know now that she was contemplating [suicide], I look back and just wish I had been holding her and comforting her instead of pushing her. I don’t know if that would’ve helped, but it certainly wouldn’t have hurt.”
