Why is Ashley's face so puffy? She needs to stop with the plastic surgery.
Oh God. My heart goes to all the family. Both my mother and I, and my own daughter struggle with bipolar disorder. It can be confusing at times to decipher between the disease and the true character of anyone with this disease. Sending all my love and prayers!
Was she on pharma drugs? Its usually triggered by pharma drugs.
Naomi gave Ashley the gift of orating, she so eloquently spoke on behalf of the family here. Naomi gave Wynona the gift of singing, she gave a beautiful performance at her mother’s memorial service. I think it’s wonderful that each sister recognizes the other’s strong points and steps back to let the other take the reins when the time is right. Two sisters supporting each other with love, strength and grace; you taught your daughters well Naomi and that’s all that matters in the end.
My mom committed suicide 5 years ago. She suffered from depression for most of her life. I completely understand the pain that comes with it. Mental health is the most important thing. The world really needs to start to recognize that it is real and many people suffer from it.
I will keep her family in my prayers daily on my prayer list
my heart breaks for your loss, may the Lord strengthens you and your sister during this time.
Big Hug to you ..my heart breaks for your family. 🥲
why didn't she just leave her nose alone….always gotta have something irritating
My deepest Condolences. Stay strong. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family may God bless you all hugs
Wtf did she do to her face?
My dad shot himself in the chest. I can empathize.
Naomi Was A NURSE And She Wanted To Be Found The Way That She Was..
God the pain is so deep for those sisters. My heart is so broken and hurt for them. Rest in peace sweet woman. You're in God's loving arms now! ❤
I don't think most people realize this , but the Franklin County Coroner has not declared this woman's death a suicide. This is odd considering Ashley is declaring that Naomi shot herself with a fireman and instantly died. If that story was true , then the police would have declared Naomi s death a suicide handed the body over to the Judds. But the police have neither declared this death a suicide nor handed the body over. The police obviously have their doubts around what really happened on April 30, 2022.
Wow … what a big big bummer.
Heartbreaking to all who grew up with the Judds beautiful women. My heart hurts for them. Prayers and rest in peace Naomi.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾♥️♥️
God bless you, Ashley and Wynonna. Your beautiful Mother will be missed by so many people. all over the world. My heart goes out to you and Step Dad at this time. 💜
Poor Ashley. What a horrific thing to witness. She will never erase that from her mind. Poor Naomi, she was so ill that she would never want to hurt her girls.
RIP beautiful soul
Honored to have seen The Judd's in their prime!
🙏
I must be old, I remember Ashley used to be sexy.
EMERGENCY never tell anyone you have any kind of mental illness they will immediately believe and treat you like your mass murder serial killer. It's unfortunate and sad but it's the truth. I wish I had better news to tell someone. I'm 54 years old and a psychologist
WHERE DID THE GUN COME FROM……WHEN DEALING WITH DEPRESSION…ALWAYS REMOVE ANY THING FROM THE HOME THAT IS HARMFUL…..BELTS, GUNS, MEDICINES……WHERE DID THIS DAMN FIREARM COME FROM?????THERE IS MORE TO THIS ……WAKE UP PEOPLE…..DEPRESSION IS SERIOUS……REMOVE ANY OBJECTS THAT THE PERSON MAY USE TO KILL THEMSELVES.
My deepest condolences to the family and most dearly to Ashley for being so strong in this hard time of her life.
Before this interview I read an article online as she describe the (mental) disease of her mother. She stated that it (depression) comes when you are alone, and it does, because you are alone with your thoughts, I believe. But what is concerning, is it is a deep, heavy burdened feeling that if you are not careful, can easily take an extreme toll on you. What was alarming to me was when she described her mother saying she sometimes couldn't get to that happy place, and I'm a little familiar with that cuz if you're somewhere and someone sees you smiling, they may think you're crazy, but that's okay, cuz YOU know you're not, instead they are happy thoughts, and I believe it actually helps you KEEP your sanity. You must know that you can't change all, and certainly can't please all. But it can consume you viciously, if you let it. What myself have come to terms with as I age, is that all things that happen good or bad, happy or sad, happen by design, and there's little to nothing you can do to alter what happens by design, and if you think you did, it was designed to be that way.
I experienced severe anxiety when I was 20 years of age. I learned the manifestations of emotional release and learned it's a journey to daily conquer the restimulation or triggers reflective of my core issue resulting in constant anxiety. I learned to connect with the underlying feelings and repetitively discharge them dynamically with discipline. Verbalizing is significant but, but it is the beginning of the journey. It's learning to repetitively connect with and surrender the underlying feelings repetitively by learning and practicing the manifestations of emotional discharge that one conquers depression and anxiety. I learned and practice the disciplines daily to succeed at functioning effectively in life. I extend my sincere condolences to the Judd family. I can fully empathize with the past deep-seated pain of Naomi and now the grief of her family. Truly, sincerely, bless the soul of Naomi. Rest in Peace.
sorry but we all got problems. i dont care.
Very sorry for the family's loss. The firearm doesn't make sense though, you can hear a shot. The daughter would have been running towards the gunshot. I wonder about the firearm, it doesn't add up. Sorry for their loss.

Sorry for your loss, even though your series of events sounds strange.
