“I was humiliated”: Madonna responded to haters on criticism of her appearance

According to fans, the 64-year-old Madonna has long ceased to look like herself – a fact they have been actively discussing online since the singer appeared at the 65th Grammy Awards. Of course, Madonna, after a pause, did not remain silent and accused the haters of ageism and misogyny.

Instead of focusing on what I said in my speech, many people chose to discuss only my close-up photos taken by a correspondent with a long lens that will distort any face! she wrote on her personal blog. – Once again, I fell into the field of ageism and misogyny, which permeate the world in which we live. A world that refuses to honor women over 45 and feels the need to punish her if she continues to be strong-willed, hardworking and enterprising.

Madonna noted that she had never before made excuses for her creative and stylistic decisions – and is not going to do it now.

The media has been humiliating me since the beginning of my career, but I understand that this is all part of the test. I am happy to be a pioneer so that in the future it will become easier for all the women who follow me. I look forward to many more years of pushing the boundaries, resisting patriarchy, and enjoying life.

In late January, the makers of the Madonna biopic announced that they had canceled the project. The reason was the unpredictability of the singer herself. Madonna, who wished to personally participate in the process, decided that she would write the picture herself, but instead of working on the script, she went to social networks with her head.

And in the middle of last month, Madonna became the heroine of the cover of Vanity Fair and spoke about her worldview.
