Ashley Judd allegedly gained 25 pounds since her mom Naomi Judd’s death earlier this year.
According to National Enquirer, Ashley made a surprise appearance at her sister Wynonna Judd’s live concert. But no one was able to recognize her because of all the weight that she gained.
“The audience seemed shocked by Ashley’s appearance – not only because it hadn’t been announced beforehand but because of the way she looked. You could tell these six months since her mom’s death have wreaked hell on her. If they hadn’t announced her name, it would have been hard to tell that was Ashley up there,” the source said.
The source also claimed that Ashley’s face has become puffier since she gained weight. And this also sparked speculation that she might have also gone under the knife recently.
“Those Botox treatments help her, but a side effect is weight gain and bloated facial features. She has also prescribed prednisone for sinus problems, and it’s a drug that causes body fat to shift to the face,” the source said.
The source insisted that Naomi’s death also sent Ashley into a tailspin and she seemingly stopped taking care of herself because she was more focused on trying to move on from her mom’s death.
“Naomi killing herself sent Ashley into a tailspin as she tries to process the grief. She’s been overeating and I don’t think she gives a damn how she looks in the face of such an awful family tragedy,” the source said.
In total, it is possible for Ashley to have gained 60 pounds from when she first started in the industry. And the sudden weight gain has allegedly put her at risk for more serious illnesses.
To make their story more convincing, the tabloid published photos of Ashley from her recent appearance at Wynonna’s concert. It is obvious that her face looks puffy in the snaps. But her body looks the same.
So, it is possible for Ashley to have gotten a facial procedure recently which caused her face to look puffy. But there’s no indication that she gained 25 pounds since Naomi’s death.
And while it is possible that she gained 60 pounds from when she first started in the business, this isn’t a big deal because a lot of celebrities gain weight as they age.
