Ashley Judd says mom Naomi shot herself moments after asking her to stay with her

Judd claimed she went to her mother's house every day when she was in Tennessee, including the day she died last month. She described the day as a ‘mixed day’ adding, “I visit with my mom and pop every day when I’m in Tennessee. … Mom said to me, ‘Will you stay with me?’ and I said ‘Of course, I will.'” According to Ashley, then after some time, someone arrived at the house, and Judd went upstairs to let Naomi know someone was there for her.

She explains, “I went upstairs to let her know the friend was there, and I discovered her. I have both grief and trauma from discovering her. My mother is entitled to her dignity and her privacy. And so there are some things that we would just like to retain as a family.” Everyone close to Naomi was aware of her issues with mental health and severe depression, which the singer openly discussed while alive. She once wrote on PEOPLE, that her sickness did not react to treatment and that she would spend days and weeks in bed.

Ashley said to the GMA host, “I knew she was fragile. Every time we hugged, and she drank me in, I was very present for those tactile experiences because I knew there would come a time when she could be gone. Whether it was by the disease or another cause.” According to Ashley, her mother was deeply adored by her peers however but the seriousness of her disease outweighed any amount of love from the outside.
