(THECOUNT) — Country star Naomi Judd, who died in May, reportedly left her estate and $25 million fortune to her husband, Larry Strickland, – completely cutting out daughters Wynonna and Ashley, according to reports.
Court documents show that Naomi, 76, appointed Strickland, her partner of 33 years, the executor of her will. The will makes no mention of either Wynonna, 58, or Ashley, 54.
According to sources, the first to report the news of the freeze-out, that Wynonna was “upset” at the move, as she “believes she was a major force behind her mother’s success.”
The 58-year-old was her mother’s singing partner for eight years, during which The Judds turned into what was hailed as one of country music’s greatest acts. In the wake of Naomi’s death by suicide, Wynonna has been open about struggling to come to terms with the loss.
