Wynonna judd and sister Ashley open for their late mother, DaomyIn the New Age Docuseries Judd family: frankly.
The four -episode event began on Saturday, May 10, with two chapters for Naomi’s youth and its early ambition to become a country supermarket. “She loved that feeling for her to reach that moment (from being on stage),” said Wynonna, 60, for her mother in the first episode. “She hooked her, and I think that became a drug of choice for her.”
While Naomi was thriving as a performer, she fought mental health issues behind the scenes, and her daughters saw many of her difficulties. “The mother lived with a constellation of sufferings and with a secret,” said Ashley, 57. “We are just as ill as our secrets.”
Wynonna admitted, meanwhile, she did not know How much her mother struggling towards the end of her life. (Naomi died by suicide in April 2022 at 76.)
“One of the things I didn’t know is how much he had trouble on the couch. That silly sofa, that’s where he spent a lot of time, and I didn’t know that,” he remembered. “I was caught so much in my own success and tried to keep it going and that person. One of the reasons I have decided that Mum has left this world because of trauma, generation trauma. Family stuff that has never been healed or stable.”
Hold to scroll for the largest disclosures of parts 1 and 2 of Judd family: frankly. Air parts 3 and 4 on Sunday, May 11, at 8 pm et.
“(My grandmother) Nonna knew how Mum loved an audience and wanted she to be so bad, and I think she judged her,” Wynonna’s theory. “Mum was so looking for approval from Nonna that he could never overcome it. He never was healed or fixed.”
As Ashley and Wynonna explained, Naomi conceived with Wynonna at the age of 17 and married Michael CiminellaHe was not a Biological father of Wynonna but agreed to his parent. “He told (Michael) that he was the father, and he took on this role, I don’t know if the word is happy, but ready,” said Ashley.
Naomi’s mother was not happy about her daughter becoming such a young mother, who made their difficult relationship even more troubled. “Nonna was very hard on a mother,” he claimed Wynonna. “She was the son of a bitch. And if she didn’t like you, you screwed. Mum tried to get her approval. It was painful to watch. ‘Your lipstick is too dark’ or ‘you need to lose weight.’ Very strict, very strict and critical.

Ashley, saying, said his sister “started getting this rap at a young age that it was a little more difficult.”
As Wynonna gets older, her relationship with Naomi had only more battle, especially after they started singing together. “Mum lived very colorfully in her way because that’s the way she was,” she explained. “You’ve seen the morning showing where she rocked. I was so worsened by her extreme movements and words and only the way she wore her make -up and made her lips and wore perfumes. I was always introverted and she was always outgoing, so they both, she works musically. Personally, sometimes personally in conflict, I couldn’t have said that.

Courtesy of TV Networks A&E, LLCWynonna did not find that Ciminella was not her biological father until adults, but even as a child, she felt something was away. “We lived with the parents of Michael Ciminella, but this disconnection was between the Judds and the Ciminellas because I was born to two very young children,” he said. “And everyone was pissed that my mother had conceived. I think I knew Michael Ciminella didn’t like me, and Mum really didn’t love him. So that disconnection was too.”
He added, “I don’t have many memories of Michael and me.”
After she split from Ciminella, Naomi moved on with a man who described Wynonna as “a non -actually healthy love” that her mother considered her James Dean Type. “The reality was, it’s not James Dean, he’s a honeous man,” Wynonna remembered. “I was old enough to know that something was wrong. I remember being very, very aware of this guy watching us in the bathtub and laying on my head while I was watching TV. My mother wasn’t at home and I became amazing, extremely defensive from Ashley.”
Meanwhile, Ashley said he once “annoyed me out the bedroom window at my ankles” after he came home and found that the girls had colored on the walls. At one time, the love of Naomi, who reported his abuse to the police, and the family raped back to Kentucky.
Ashley is a successful actress, but says she never had an ambition to be a musician like her mother and sister. “Of course, in my own way, I was part of everything. Because I was deeply affected by everything, but I wasn’t interested in being part of the singing,” he explained in chapter 1. “I mean, I had a violin and a picture of me on that violin, and I look as boring as it sounded.”
The pursuit of Naomi’s success meant that her daughters were often left alone, including once when Ashley was ill with chickenpox. “I slept all the time. That was a bit of childhood depression. I didn’t know if it was night or day,” he remembered, noting, “Description is my experience of my mother; it’s not an indictment. Everyone did the best they could at the time, but I would say she had distracted.”
Wynonna said, for her part, that she often felt like a parent for her younger sister. “I find myself going back to those memories of Mum get me making dishes and making the bed or repairing Ashley is something to eat,” he explained. “I couldn’t be a child because I was always doing something. I was the adult really. I was the spouse, if that made sense. And once Mum cried because Ashley said, ‘I feel like my Mother Wynonna.’
Eventually, Wynonna began to cope with food, which led to weight gain – another topic that became a contention between her and Naomi. “I knew I needed more, so I learned to self-slide instead of parenting attachment,” he said. “And self-enactment came the reason I had an unfortunate relationship with food, because it was my soother. Whether it’s exercise, drugs, alcohol, we found something to relieve ourselves, and I found food. And it worked for me-and worked for me.”
