In an interview with People published Friday, the country music icon said she was “in shock” after O’Donnell deemed her a supporter of President Donald Trump in August.

“I’ve never spoken to her about politics in my life. She doesn’t know anything about my stuff,” Judd told the outlet. “I’m an independent.”

While the five-time Grammy winner didn’t clarify whom she voted for in the 2016, 2020 and 2024 presidential elections, she said O’Donnell’s remarks were a “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,’” Judd explained. “I just don’t want drama. So if there’s going to be drama [about it], 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 issued to People, O’Donnell clarified that her comments stemmed from the fact that Judd performed at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida in 2018 and 2023.

“I just thought as she has performed at Mar-a-Lago that she was [a Trump supporter]. I apologize if I was wrong,” the comedian said.

“Well you know, I don’t really have any people in my life who support him. I think it would be very difficult to do that,” she said during an appearance on “The Tangle with Kyle Ridley” podcast in August.

She went on to note: “Now, I am friends with Wynonna Judd, who I love very much and I’ve known her for many, many years. And she is a supporter of Trump ... I really love her and I care about her, and ― for some reason ― I’m able to put that aside when we interact.”

Judd is currently promoting “The Hard Truth,” her first studio album in 10 years. The album’s release Friday comes about four years after her mother, fellow country singer Naomi Judd, died by suicide.

O’Donnell recently returned to the U.S. from Ireland, where she’d relocated following Trump’s 2024 reelection. She returned to the New York stage this summer in a one-woman show, “Common Knowledge,” and is set to appear on Broadway in the acclaimed revival of “The Rocky Horror Show” next week.
