Madonna hurled some nasty words at her ex-husband Guy Ritchie during a recent concert in Melbourne, Australia. The pop diva appeared very emotional on stage, prompting critics to accuse her of performing high or drunk.
According to The Sun, some of Madonna's rants include calling Ritchie a "son of a bitch" and asking for "somebody take care of me please." She also told the audience, "If I have learnt one thing in my life, it's just to go with it. If you just laugh it doesn't hurt as much."
A spokesperson for Madonna told Metro that the "Material Girl" singer had one shot of liquor on stage and that's it. She has been doing the gimmick 80 straight times during her "Rebel Heart" world tour.
In a recent post on Instagram, Madonna herself assured fans that she wouldn't go on stage while high on drugs or drunk.
"Thanks for supporting me. Too bad people don't know the art of acting and playing a character. I could never do any of my shows high or drunk," the pop diva commented on one of her supporter's long Facebook post. "We are still treated like heretics if we step out of line and think outside the box! Sexism is alive and kicking but I am #livingforlove."
Madonna and Guy Ritchie are currently embroiled in a custody battle over their son Rocco. The 15-year old left Madonna's tour in 2015 to be with his dad in the UK. Rocco has also resisted a US court order asking him to go back to his mom.
While the final terms of the settlement are still being ironed out, Rocco has been given the green light to remain with his father. An insider revealed that Madonna heavily blames Ritchie for their son's decision to leave her side. Nevertheless, Justice Deborah Kaplan told the estranged couple that they should reach an agreement in the best interest of their son.
