Ashley and Wynonna Judd Open Up About Family Secrets And Complex Upbringing In New Documentary
The Judds’ story has all elements of a country music song — mom Naomi overcomes an impoverished childhood and single motherhood to become a chart-topping star along with elder daughter Wynonna, then ends it all with suicide.
While their story is well known, this two-part documentary (the second part airs Sunday, May 11) also reveals secrets, like the childhood sexual abuse Naomi fought all her life to conceal and what actually led to her tragic death. The doc features interviews with Wynonna as well as Naomi’s actress daughter, Ashley, from whom she was estranged for years, Naomi’s widower, Larry Strickland, and her close friend Reba McEntire.
The Judd Family: Truth Be Told | Premieres Sat., May 10, at 8 p.m. ET, on Lifetime
