Wynonna Judd is shocked that her longtime friend Rosie O’Donnell publicly called her a supporter of President Donald Trump.
During an Aug. 11 episode of "The Tangle with Kyle Ridley" podcast, O'Donnell said that Judd is the only exception to her rule of keeping supporters of the president out of her orbit.
In an interview with People published Friday, Oct. 2, the Grammy-winning country musician reacted to O’Donnell's remarks, saying "I’m in shock, just so you know."
"I’ve never spoken to her about politics in my life. She doesn’t know anything about my stuff. I’m an independent," Judd told the outlet.
The "No One Else on Earth" singer explained that she has purposely avoided discussing politics and that she is "not angry" at O'Donnell but rather simply confused, saying she had no idea where the claim came from.
"It’s complete assumption," she said "I don’t ever remember talking to her about this, so she’s just assuming. I just don’t want drama. So if there’s going to be drama, I’m like, 'Oh for crap’s sake, there’s so much going on right now in the world. Can we just love each other?'"
In a statement to People, O'Donnell said her assumption came after Judd performed at Trump's Florida residence in November 2023.
"I just thought as she has performed at Mar-a-Lago that she was [a Trump supporter]. I apologize if I was wrong," she said in the statement.
