NAOMI SPARKS FAMILY FEUD FROM GRAVE!
Judds butt heads after mom cuts Wynonna & Ashley from $25M will
TRAGIC country legend Naomi Judd — who used a gun to take her own life in April — shattered the temporary truce between her famous daughters, Ashley and Wynonna, by shockingly giving complete control of her estate to her husband, Larry Strickland! In a world exclusive, The National ENQUIRER has obtained a certified copy
which leaves the two sisters entirely subject to the decision-making of Naomi’s musician husband of 33 years
— who also controlled her living trust for 15 years before her death!
According to tipsters, Kiss the Girls cutie Ashley, 54, was unfazed by Naomi’s baffling decision. But sources say her half-sister, Wynonna — who with
Naomi, 76, made up the country duo The Judds — believes she was a major force behind their mother’s success and deserves her share!
An insider dishes Wynonna was banking on getting a piece of the pie — Naomi had an estimated $25 million net worth — and now the bitter singer feels Ashley and
Larry, 76, conspired against her. “Wynonna has had money problems throughout her adult life,” a family friend confides. “She’s blown through nearly every dollar she made with The Judds. She even checked into a treatment facility in 2004 for a ‘money disorder!’ “Ashley believes her mother knew what she was doing by not dropping a big stack of cash in her sister’s lap. But now Wynonna blames the two of them for her mother’s decision to leave everything to Larry!” Spies say steamed Wynonna, 58, is speaking with attorneys about contesting the will — and Ashley is vowing to take Larry’s side if she does!
The hardheaded sisters claimed in a court filing when Wynonna’s drug-troubled daughter, Grace, came to live with her, her meddling sis had a tracking device secretly
Ashley is also said to be miffed over being nudged out of Wynonna’s upcoming tour — which was originally slated to be The Judds’ swan song before being retooled as a tribute to Naomi.
“Ashley was to share her remembrances of her mother with the audience,” an insider snitches.
“But Wynonna brought in famous country music friends, like Faith Hill, Martina McBride and Trisha Yearwood, to join her in singing The Judds’ hits — leaving no role for Ashley!” An insider says friends hoped Naomi’s death would force the squabbling siblings to put their differences behind them, but adds, “Now things between them are worse than ever!”
