Naomi Judd is opening up about her startling new appearance and why she has been staying away from the spotlight.

The recording artist revealed that she had a lifelong battle with mental illness, which has forced her to stay out of the spotlight in recent years. The 70-year-old sat down for an exclusive interview with Good Morning America’s Robin Roberts, in which she revealed that she suffers from severe depression and anxiety and that she and daughter Wynonna Judd have stopped touring as The Judds since 2011, reports Page Six.

“[Fans] see me in rhinestones, you know, with glitter in my hair, that really is who I am,” Naomi said. “But then I would come home and not leave the house for three weeks, and not get out of my pajamas, and not practice normal hygiene. It was really bad.”

Naomi also addressed her changing looks, which has shocked fans. She revealed that her medication for anxiety and depression is what caused her face to become bloated and has caused other symptoms. Fans previously assumed Naomi’s new look was either due to botched plastic surgery or weight gain.

“My hands shake really bad … medication, nothing I can do about it. And my face, I feel like a balloon. My face is all swollen because of the medication,” Judd admitted. “I really haven’t been eating ice cream and candy, I really haven’t!”

Robin Roberts asked Naomi Judd why she chose to share her story now after so many years. The country legend said that she wanted her fans to know what has been going on with her.
