Naomi Judd once shot at Husband Larry Strickland after he revealed his affair, Docuseries exposes

Naomi Judd and Larry Strickland 's near-five-decade marriage was not exactly picture-perfect — and the brutal reality is now being uncovered in the new expose docuseries The Judd Family: Truth Be Told , which premiered May 10 and 11. Perhaps the most stunning confession came when the late country music legend's widower, Larry Strickland, acknowledged that Naomi had once aimed a gun at him after she caught him cheating. The emotional moment came as Strickland, 79, revisited a scene from the 1995 TV movie Love Can Build a Bridge, based on Naomi's memoir of the same name. In the dramatized reenactment, actress Kathleen York, portraying Naomi, shoots Bruce Greenwood's character — based on Strickland — after uncovering his infidelity. Having seen the dramatic clip, Strickland quietly nodded at the reality behind the drama: "Well, it really happened. Operation Sindoor 'Our job is to hit target, not to count body bags': Air Marshal Bharti on Op Sindoor Precautionary blackout imposed across parts of Rajasthan, Punjab 'Indian Navy was in position to strike Karachi': Vice Admiral on Operation Sindoor That's all I can say. That's all I'm gonna say. It happened." The documentary series goes into depth about the ups and downs of the Judd family legacy, presenting an unvarnished glimpse at their triumphs and traumas and how they defined their lives. In a voiceover from her memoir, Naomi remembered the all-encompassing love she and Strickland had previously been, characterizing their relationship as "wildly, madly, passionately in love." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Tap Into Real-Time Signals Designed to Support Your Trading Decisions Trader Headline Learn More Undo However, that love was tested by distance — Strickland was away frequently, and Naomi was left feeling abandoned. One of the most painful recollections was when a Northeast woman called Naomi at their home in Nashville during the 1980s, saying she loved and missed Strickland. Fuming, Naomi confessed that she destroyed their photos and tossed his stuff into a garbage bag left in the yard. Naomi and Larry first met in 1979 and married a decade later in May 1989. Despite their tumultuous past, they remained together for 33 years until Naomi's tragic death in April 2022 at age 76. The River of Time songstress's death shocked the music world, but this new docuseries reveals not only her talent and success, but also the intensely personal battles she waged behind closed doors — including betrayal, heartbreak, and ultimately, forgiveness. In revealing their truth, The Judd Family: Truth Be Told reminds us that even legends have scars — and that love, as Naomi used to sing, can construct a bridge, but doesn't necessarily remove the hurt underneath it.

Naomi Judd's widower confirms she tried to shoot him after uncovering infidelity

Naomi Judd's widower has confirmed she shot at him when she learned he had cheated on her. The late country star - who took her own life three years ago at the age of 76 - married Larry Strickland in 1989 after a decade of dating and a new two-part docuseries, 'The Judd Family: Truth Be Told' chronicles their ups and downs, including the shocking incident. In a voiceover from her 1993 memoir 'Love Can Build a Bridge', Naomi recalled how she and Larry, now 79, were "wildly, madly, passionately in love" but he was never home, and she told how a woman called their Nashville home in the 1980s saying how much she "loved and missed" the gospel singer. The docuseries saw Larry rewatch a scene from the TV movie based on his late wife's memoir, in which the 'River of Time' singer - who was played by Kathleen York - took a shot at her spouse, who was played by Bruce Greenwood, after learning of his infidelity. Larry said afterwards: "Well, it really happened. That's all I can say. That's all I'm gonna say. It happened." Larry previously told of how he was constantly with Naomi in the later years of her life. He told People magazine: "For the past 13 years or more, I was with her 24/7. "I never left the house without Naomi knowing where I was going and when I would be back. As far as taking care of myself, I'm not sure that fits my situation. When you have a mate that has a mental illness, you walk that path with them." He also told of how Naomi's death has "forced" her daughters Wynonna and Ashley to "come together". He said: "They were forced together. "We all had to come together around this trauma, this tragic event. And it, of course, opened our eyes about how short life can be and how fleeting. "Realising that we lost a wife and mother, it forced us to be together, whether we wanted to or not." Larry - who insisted he was "always" close to his late wife's daughters in some way - revealed he has also grown "closer" to them after his wife's death. He added: "It just really drove me closer to them because they're what's left of [Naomi]. "We were close, I think, always in the early years and later years, but the fact that Naomi's gone and Wynonna and Ashley are the main part of her that's left, and it's what's still here for me to cling to and have in my life."
