Wynonna Judd has publicly rejected Rosie O'Donnell's assertion that she supports President Donald Trump, telling People she is in shock by the assumption. The country music star stated she has never discussed politics with O'Donnell and identifies as an independent. O'Donnell, a longtime critic of the president, previously described Judd as the only Trump supporter in her circle with whom she maintained a friendship. Judd said she was confused by the characterization, noting that O'Donnell did not know anything about her political views. "I'm an independent," Judd told People. "I've never spoken to her about politics in my life... She doesn't know anything about my stuff." Judd clarified that she was not angry but felt the comment was a complete assumption. "I don't know where it came [from]," she said. "It's complete assumption. I heard it and I went, 'What the...?' I don't ever remember talking to her about this, so she's just assuming." The dispute stems from comments O'Donnell made during an August appearance on The Tangle with Kyle Ridley podcast. During the interview, O'Donnell explained that she and Judd had known each other for many years and were able to keep their relationship intact despite their political differences. "I am friends with Wynonna Judd, who I love very much, and I've known her for many, many years," O'Donnell said. "And she is a supporter of Trump. And somehow, we never bring it up." O'Donnell added that she gave Judd grace due to the complicated nature of her upbringing, including the suicide of her mother. Fox News Digital reached out to O'Donnell for comment regarding Judd's rebuttal. Judd expressed a desire to avoid escalating the misunderstanding into a public conflict. She explained that she prefers to focus on global issues rather than engage in celebrity disputes, asking for mutual kindness in a difficult time. The two women have a friendship that stretches back decades, with Judd appearing as a recurring guest on O'Donnell's daytime talk show in the 1990s. Since winning the 2024 presidential election, O'Donnell has continued to speak publicly about American politics while living in Ireland with her child.
