Wynonna Judd insists there was “no argument” between her and Ashley Judd over their late mom Naomi Judd’s will.
“Someone told me while I was at Ashley’s house, ‘Hey, did you know that they’re saying this about you?’ I went, ‘Huh? I’m fighting with Ashley? Oh. Again?’” Wynonna recalled to People of the rumors swirling.
“Fighting over what? I have such a great life. Ashley has a great life. Why would we be fighting over the will?”
Court documents previously obtained by Page Six showed Naomi, who died by suicide in April at age 76, appointed her husband, Larry Strickland, as the executor of her estate, five years before she died.
Upon Strickland’s death, Wynonna, 58, said she and Ashley, 54, will then “split” the estate, and she has no plans to contest the will, contrary to reports.
“I am the last person in this family — and if Ashley was here, I’d hope she’d agree with me — who knows stuff like this,” she told People. “I’m not savvy enough to go, ‘I’m going to contest the will.’ It never occurred to me.”
In fact, Wynonna said mourning Naomi has only brought her and the “Bone Collector” star closer together.
“I feel like we’re connected in a way that is so different because I’m an orphan,” said Wynonna, whose father is Charles Jordan. “Both my parents are gone, and I’m relying on Ashley. She’s relying on me in a different way that’s about compassion. It’s not about being successful and smart and capable. It’s about, ‘I love you.’ ‘I love you, too.’ We’re vulnerable with each other, and we’re tender.”
She added, “As sisters, we disagree on so much, but when it comes to our mother, we both look at each other and go, ‘She was quite the character.’”
While they’re close now, Wynonna admitted she and Ashley once used a life coach to help mend their relationship, which had been strained by their separate successes.
“Ashley and I are very different people, and we are learning that we have more in common than we don’t,” the “Grandpa” singer said. “That’s really interesting, because when you’re younger, you think there’s more disconnect.
“We had a really deep conversation the other day, and we got through it and nobody got hurt.”
