Ashley Judd Reveals Her Last Words to Her Mom Naomi Judd Before Her Death: ‘It Is OK’


Ashley Judd recalled the heartbreaking last words she said to her mom, Naomi Judd, before the country singer died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

“The first thing out of my mouth was, ‘Mama, I see how much you’ve been suffering and it’s OK … I am here, and it is OK to let go,” the actress revealed on the January 10 episode of “All There Is With Anderson Cooper,” adding that she was the first to find her mother, who had long battled mental illness. Becoming emotional, the actress added that she encouraged Naomi to go to the loved ones who had died before her, telling her, “All was forgiven long ago, leave it all here.” Despite being traumatized by Naomi’s violent death, the actress and activist is determined not to let it define her mother.
