Grammy-award winning artist Naomi Judd of The Judds has died at 76.

Judd's daughters announced her death in a statement on Saturday to the Associated Press.

"Today we sisters experienced a tragedy. We lost our beautiful mother to the disease of mental illness," the statement said. "We are shattered. We are navigating profound grief and know that as we loved her, she was loved by her public. We are in unknown territory."

She had electroshock therapy in recent years. Might explain how she looked in that final performance

It pisses me off that mental illness was mentioned. Why not just let her go without personal details? Is that what they wanted folks to remember the mother by? Was it a last “stick it” to the mom by Wynonna?

especially right before an award. maybe they wanted to do it for mental health awareness..but yeah..it seems kind of cruel

but naomi was pretty vocal about her illness. maybe her electroshock therapy was a lot better than that you see in the movies

probably to promote mental illness awareness.
Sometimes you look ok to the outside when inside you wish you were dead.

CBS reported it as a suicide, then went back and scrubbed it, stating only “mental illness.”

Your stupidity in ignoring the vicious effects covid disease has caused so many Americans is beyond the pail. A personal family friend of ours, 25 years old and avid mountain hiker was hit by covid, and now she can barely walk 100 steps without sitting down. Covid has destroyed her heart.

And then there are hundreds of thousands of Americans dead and maimed by covid. Thank goodness PDJT has more common sense than people like you and he was intelligent enough to announce his booster shots.

You may be right. I never knew anyone personally with such imbalance, so I just do not know much about chemical imbalance.

(the COVID pandemic was being used by the globalist elites to do: “COVID is critical because this is what convinces people to accept, to legitimize, total biometric surveillance.)

Yep, you can Mark(😳) it down.

When the time comes, the Global Elite and their “news” friends will be all on board.

Will that be right hand?

Or forehead?

My mom did just that. She was 53. OD’d on sleeping pills and wine. Didn’t leave a note. But the signs were there.

A week before, she bought a new dress. Way out of character. Got her hair done as well as her nails. She never spent money on her nails. Bought a ton of groceries so that my dad wouldn’t have to. Paid bills in advance. She was preparing to take her life and we didn’t notice the strange behavior.
It devastated my dad because he had spent so many years trying to make her life happy.

Funeral was awkward.

Still speculation, but not the health issue I was thinking either.

Per story in ‘People’:

An additional statement from Naomi’s husband of 32 years, Larry Strickland, reads: “Naomi Judd’s family request privacy during this heartbreaking time. No additional information will be released at this time.”

Very sad to hear of this. Not many musicians seem to make it past their mid-70’s.

RIP, Naomi.

The one that really freaked me out, and I didn’t know about til now, was Tom T. Hall. He just didn’t seem like this crazy family. Just can’t seem to wrap my head around it.
