Larry Strickland, the widower of the late Naomi Judd, confirmed the country music legend once shot a gun.

In The Judd Family: Truth Be Told, Strickland, 79, said she did so after learning he’d cheated on her.

“Well, it really happened,” he said, per PEOPLE. “That’s all I can say. That’s all I’m gonna say. It happened.”

According to the report, Judd explained in a voiceover of her 1993 memoir “Love Can Build a Bridge” she recalled a woman calling their home in Nashville in the 1980s, saying how much “she loved and missed” Strickland.

Judd tore up photos threw his belongings into the yard.

Strickland, per the report, rewatched a scene from the docuseries in which the shooting took place before confirming it happened.

The couple, who married in 1989, stayed together until Judd took her own life in 2022.

“It was a very chaotic, hectic time,” Strickland told PEOPLE of his wife’s last days. “It was extremely hard. She had several therapists that she was seeing, and her energy level had gotten really low.”

Strickland said his wife had gotten “really week” battling depression and anxiety before her death.

“I handled her medications and had to make sure she had what she needed,” he said. “I was trying every way I could.

“If I would have known where she was, I would’ve been much softer on her.”
