Madonna was successfully put in her place by Michael (who called her a "nasty witch" , said she "was not a lady" , "not sexy" & named his albino python after her)

Despite all of this and the shit she said about him (calling him a 'space alien drag queen' calling him 'gay" - saying she wanted to give him a makeover) , she still defended him in '03 and planned to perform with him at the 02 before his passing.

She also did that self-centered speech in his honor at the 2009 MTV Awards

In conclusion, Madonna and Mike had their differences but they worked past them

If Madonna was hurt by anyone's words, it was definitely his (and Sean Penn's)
