I think it is just disgusting, just despicable that police release deeply personal information & graphic images of people who die by suicide against their family’s wishes simply because they are a public person.

I am beyond disgusted by the police doing this with Naomi Judd.

The news of Naomi Judd’s suicide spread quickly online, leaving many fans in shock. Nevertheless, the recent distribution of the five-time Grammy winner’s suicide note, coupled with harrowing images from the crime scene, has further saddened netizens. Fans expressed concern about the official release of the photos, saying such an act would never be “public interest” in the first place. Also, many Twitter users have complained about tabloids and those who have shared the “suicide note contents and photos” online for disrespecting Judd’s family’s privacy. Twitteratis condemned online communities for sharing such images because of their lack of “morals.” A user wrote: Tabloids that share suicide notes and photos are equally disgusting. A bunch of bottom-feeders without any morals, ethics, or common decency at all. There should never be a public release of a suicide note, according to another user. Who leaked this information? What a horrible thing to happen. As for Naomi Judd, she was mentally ill, so take her words with a grain of salt. Ashley and Wynonna Judd, two of Judd’s daughters, shared the news via social media on May 1, 2022, revealing her death was due to “mental illness.”

Dear @radar_online releasing photos of Naomi Judd’s suicide scene is disgusting, you should have some respect for her family. Stuff like that should remain private.

Releasing Naomi Judd’s suicide note and police photos in no way serves the public interest. It merely generates revenue for news outlets and adds to the pain of an already grieving family.

Equally disgusting are the tabloids that share the suicide note contents and photos. Bottom feeders with absolutely no morals, ethics, or common decency.

Was it REALLY necessary to publish Naomi Judd’s suicide note and blood soaked bed? Was it? Did it help clear anything up? Did it answer any lingering questions? Did it allow this woman a shred of dignity left to her name postmortem? Is it helping her fractured family heal? No.

The media is evil for releasing the sordid details of Naomi Judd’s death. I pray for her family, especially her daughters. Horrible!

Accidentally saw the Naomi Judd crime scene photos and I am just absolutely sickened and disgusted that these have been published. Any outlet who posts those should be ashamed and called out for it.
