Madonna is speaking out and she is now addressing the backlash over her appearance at the 2023 GRAMMY Awards.
More details below…
Madonna took the stage at the GRAMMYs to introduce Sam Smith and Kim Petras, however, her powerful speech was thrown to the side when her looks became the subject of conversation.
In a post shared to Instagram on February 7, the Queen of Pop fired back at the haters.
“Many people chose to only talk about Close-up photos of me Taken with a long lens camera By a press photographer that Would distort anyone’s face!!” she said.
“Once again I am caught in the glare of ageism and misogyny that permeates the world we live in. A world that refuses to celebrate women pass the age of 45 And feels the need to punish her If she continues to be strong willed, hard-working and adventurous,” she continued.
The ‘Like A Virgin’ singer then went on to note that she has “never apologized” for her looks and referenced Beyonce‘s ‘Break My Soul.’
“I have been degraded by the media since the beginning of my career but I understand that this is all a test and I am happy to do the trailblazing so that all the women behind me can have an easier time in the years to come,” she said.

No granny you just look a mess!!!
Then she is queen 👑 granny . Tell Madonna to MJ up. And do her thang while we are still blessed to have her..
Chile, please…NONE of what she said has anything to do with her overwrought plastic surgery. She could have trailblazed without the lifts, fillers, implants jist like she did years ago. Just say “I’ve had surgery and if you don’t like it, forget you!” THAT would have been truer to what was trying to say…
F*** them.
Overwrought?
More commenters like Keith, please.
what a bulls**t excuse… you have a hack job on your face and youre blaming a photographer who zoomed in on it? Saying itd distort anyones face…your face was not distorted..we just see it as if we were standing right in front of you. Her response wouldve been valid had she aged gracefully and not fd her face up …but thats not what happened. You got a ton done and it looks awful. It was a choice.
You just want to see Madonna face full of bags n lines. not gonna happen
The predatory behavior actually gives men more ammo against women.
Remember the Me-too movement and the women who wanted us to believe only the boys as predators, dirty and bad, lol
She is on camera and photoed tonguing down countless numbers of young people.
What man has done this?
Agreed.
She’s just like Kanye – narcissistic to the max
While I agree with most comments here, she IS the blueprint. She especially made it ok for women over 40, commercially at least, to drop albums and still be successful when she dropped Ray of Light.
She is and that’s sad since she promotes herself as a MOTHER FIGURE.
So she’s pretty much saying its okay for our Mothers to be thots.
I hope these kids are mentally prepared witnessing their Mothers/Grandmas in lingerie bussing it wide open on IG unapologetically, lol
True Tea ISSA about grab a bag of popcorn and enjoy this freak show.
Madonna should have asked Cher for her plastic surgeon number.. Her face just look ratchet. She shouldn’t responded back to the whiplash of these story’s because now she going to get drag harder
You the same b**** talking about Michael plastic surgery
She looks like the thing from nickelodeon..FACE HERE!! DO DOO DOO DO!!!!
her face is enormous. It’s actually gross
Michael Jackson would have never even responded unless he was paid. especially at the Grammys…
Yes, her own ageism. She is so ageist that she f***** up her own face.
I partially agree with her : no one should comment a person’s look. You don’t know what’s going on in their lives.
That being said, it’s not because they talked about her that it has anything to do with her age or her gender.
If she did not super photoshop and distort all her photos on social media this wouldn’t happen. What gets me though are the young dumb c##t gen Z’s who Photoshop there own selfies, and then act surprised when celebs do the same. YOU created this fake world, now live in it!
Unlike p*** Michael Jackson, she didn’t assault children in her bedroom….
Go TRUMP!
Madonna is not a N!ggUR. SHUT UP. She is not a dead drug addict like Whitney or Prince. Two dead frauds. She is not a dead drug addict like MJ who died of drugs and r*ping little boys. She is not dead like fat Uretha Skanklin.
Go TRUMP!!!!
But she’s ANTI-CHRIST
She lose.
Hasn’t she been looking like this for a number of years? I don’t understand the surprise. It’s the same face and same argument she had when 50 was talking about her, and now people are acting like it’s all brand new.
Same old excuses she’s been using all of her ill fated career.
Tell her that you can not be victim of misogyny and ageism while using s** to promote your non existing voice and talent. She never had a class and the only classy divas left are Celine and Mariah.
well said. Rock on Madonna!!! 💪🙏
