Shock as pop superstar slams her OWN fans for being ‘fat and spotty’ in toe curling interview
MADONNA has landed in hot water for branding her fans fat, spotty and “horrible to look at”.
The Queen of Pop, 66, came under attack when an interview — in which she ripped into some of her more fanatical followers — resurfaced.
In it, Madge said: “I don’t mind when people come up to me in a restaurant and go, ‘God, I think you’re great’. I love that. It’s the obsessive fanatics whose attention seems very hostile.
“It’s beyond admiration. It’s very crazy . . . it’s always fat people, too.”
She went on: “They are the most unattractive social outcasts, like really overweight girls or guys with lots of acne that follow me around and pester me.
“It’s frightening because not only are they bothering me but they’re horrible to look at, too.”
Mum-of-six Madonna, who is dating 28-year-old former footballer Akeem Morris, did not react to her comments after they were “liked” more than 4,300 times on X, formerly Twitter.
Many fans were shocked at them, however, with some questioning their veracity, despite the 1991 interview still being available on the Washington Post’s website.
One fan reacted: “That last part is so embarrassing for her.” Another questioned: “Why did she say that?!”
Her comments emerged after rising US star Chappell Roan, 26, complained about being approached by fans.
In two social media videos posted late on Monday, she hit out: “I don’t give a f**k if you think it’s selfish of me to say no for a photo or for your time or for a hug.
“That’s not normal. That’s weird.
“It’s weird how people think you know a person just because you see them online or because you listen to the art they make.
“I’m allowed to say no to creepy behaviour.”
