REUTERS/Anthony Savignano Actress Ashley Judd is revealing that her mother, the late Grammy-winning country icon Naomi Judd, held “political and social views” her fans wouldn’t have expected. Judd, 58, said that Naomi “was afraid of disapproval and retaliation from the country music community if she didn’t hold a certain political line,” on the A Table Prepared podcast. Naomi Judd died by suicide in 2022 at the age of 76. Her daughter said the five-time Grammy winner publicly fell in line with the politics that “became a part of the public narrative” of country music.
