The Judds Documentary Trailer Teases Extreme Pain and Suffering [WATCH]

A brand new documentary about the famous country music duo The Judds and their family is set to air soon, and fans are already emotional just from the trailer. Titled The Judd Family: Truth Be Told, the documentary will premiere on May 10 at 8 PM ET on Lifetime. It promises a closer, more honest look at the Judd family’s life, their struggles, and the story behind the music.

Who Are The Judds?

The Judds were a mother-daughter country music duo made up of Naomi Judd and her daughter Wynonna Judd. They were one of the most successful country groups in the 1980s and 1990s. Naomi’s other daughter, Ashley Judd, is a well-known actress.

But while their music career looked perfect from the outside, the family has faced many challenges over the years — including mental health struggles, childhood trauma, and deep family tensions.

What to Expect in the Documentary

The trailer for The Judd Family: Truth Be Told is only 72 seconds long, but it gives us a clear idea of what’s coming. It features interviews with Wynonna Judd, Ashley Judd, and Larry Strickland, who was Naomi’s husband for 33 years.

The video also includes old photos and home videos showing the sisters’ early life. It sets the emotional tone, showing both the highs and lows of being a part of the Judd family.

Wynonna says in the trailer, “It’s magical on stage… but off stage (exhales),” hinting that life behind the scenes wasn’t easy.

Ashley Judd Opens Up

Ashley Judd is ready to talk about the dark side of her childhood. She has spoken in the past about being molested at the age of 7, and it seems the documentary will explore those painful memories. In one scene, a male voice says, “My grandmother had two brothers who were predators,” pointing toward the troubling family history.

Naomi Judd’s Husband Breaks His Silence

One of the most unexpected moments is the appearance of Larry Strickland, Naomi Judd’s husband. He hasn’t spoken publicly since Naomi’s death in 2022, but in the trailer, he bravely shares his thoughts.

“It was very trying times,” he says, and we see him hugging Ashley Judd — a touching moment that shows the emotional weight of the documentary.

Naomi Judd’s Tragic Death

Naomi Judd died by suicide on April 30, 2022, just one day before she was set to be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame with her daughter Wynonna. Her passing shocked fans around the world and brought attention to mental health issues.

Since then, her daughters have been open about their family’s personal struggles, and this documentary will likely give a deeper view of what they’ve been through.

When and Where to Watch

The Judd Family: Truth Be Told will air on May 10 at 8 PM ET on Lifetime.

For those without cable, you can stream it live on platforms like Philo, Sling TV, or Hulu + Live TV.

Lifetime has previously aired other real-life inspired documentaries like Confessions of Octomom, The Life and Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson, and The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard, so expectations are high for this emotional story.
