Singer and actress Naomi Judd's widower Larry Strickland shared that she once shot a gun at her husband, 79, after learning he had cheated on her.

In a voiceover of her 1993 memoir Love Can Build a Bridge, Judd explained how the pair were "wildly, madly, passionately in love," but her husband was never home, reported People.

She then recalled a woman from the Northeast calling their home in Nashville in the 1980s, saying how much "she loved and missed" Strickland, as per the outlet.

Later, when came back home, Judd remembered thar she teared up their photos and threw his belongings into a garbage bag.

In the docuseries, Strickland rewatched a scene from the Love Can Build a Bridge TV movie where Kathleen York, who plays Naomi, shoots Bruce Greenwood, who plays Strickland, when she finds out he's cheated on her, according to People.

Later, Strickland confirmed it, saying, "Well, it really happened," he said. "That's all I can say. That's all I'm gonna say. It happened."

Judd and Strickland met in 1979 and tied the knot a decade later in May 1989.

They were married for 33 years before Naomi died at the age of 76 in April 2022.

This is so shocking! No matter what the provocation, violence is never justified. In India, we have strict gun laws and such incidents are rare. Their relationship sounds toxic from both sides - cheating AND shooting? 😳

Western celebrities and their dramatic lives! In India, we handle marital issues differently - maybe some shouting matches but rarely gun violence. This shows how important it is to have strong family support systems.

While cheating is wrong, this reaction is extreme. In Bollywood movies we see dramatic scenes but real life should be different. Mental health issues must have been at play here. Very sad story all around.

Americans and their guns! This is why we need strict gun control like in India. You can't just shoot someone because you're angry. They stayed married after this? That's some next level forgiveness.

This reminds me of those old Hindi film scenes where the wife throws the husband's clothes out. But Hollywood takes it to another level! 😅 Seriously though, this shows how fame and stress can destroy relationships.

Why is he sharing this now after her death? Seems disrespectful to her memory. In Indian culture, we believe in letting the departed rest in peace, not airing dirty laundry publicly. Some things should remain private.
