LAHORE – Madonna was the sultry symbol of the 80s who exactly knew where she was going with life. Her music was a total hit and her looks were to die for! However, such an accessible life comes with a few drawbacks. She was a part of various scandals that can be recalled even years later like they took place just yesterday.
After all, Madonna didn’t go from a child of eight in a working class Detroit family to one of the most famous, lasting, and influential pop stars in the world by responding to a Craigslist ad.
On Madonna’s 60th birthday here are the top five scandals Madonna has faced so far.
It is tame by today’s standards, but a decade before Madonna said “f*ck” 14 times on Late Show with David Letterman, resulting in the most censored episode in late night show history. It is said that she was high as a kite when she appeared on the show.
Before and during her Blond Ambition World Tour, Madonna: Truth or Dare is a documentary that shows the Material Girl working on her choreography; hanging out with Al Pacino, Mandy Patinkin, and then-boyfriend Warren Beatty, recovering from health issues.
The book Madonna published, sex, became a bestseller and remains the fastest-selling coffee table book of all time in 1992. Madonna was young, wild and beautiful at the time and she was telling it all. People were enjoying the juiciness to the core.
At the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards, Madonna locked lips with two younger stars. Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears. There was severe backlash over the act however both the pop stars had no regrets.
Body of Evidence, her 1993 erotic thriller (the most ’90s of film genres), co-starring Willem Dafoe as her lawyer who inevitably falls in love with her, was released with an R-rating.
Happy 60th, Madonna!
