Days after Wynonna Judd canceled her scheduled appearance at CBS' New Year's Eve Live: Nashville's Big Bash, the country crooner is getting candid about her mental health.
On Tuesday, January 3, the “Mama He’s Crazy” crooner took to Instagram with a message, updating the public to assure them she's doing OK despite the medical scare.
"I'm OK… I have heard some of the comments and the first thought I had was, 'Opinions and buttholes,'" Judd explained, referencing a fan remark that accused her manager of “pushing her too hard” following the loss of her mother, Naomi Judd, to suicide last April. "And then I realized people are genuinely concerned so I want to respond to that piece."
"I am working so hard on my mental, physical and spiritual well-being," she said. "I have a great team and I'm really blessed and I'm broken and I'm working really hard at self-care, which is not selfish, it's sacred."

"So I'm OK and the last thing I'll say is, can't keep a good woman down for too long,” the star reassured fans towards the end of her heartfelt message.
