One dancer even went so far as to take off his credentials, throw it in her face and say, ‘F*ck you. I quit!’ She had to call security to protect her and escort her remaining dancers out.”

What’s more, “Everyone is required to wear black head-to-toe at all times and she has said, in her own words, that there are ‘no fat c*nts allowed in her presence.‘”

They don't even make it credible

surprise, surprise She is so disgusting

Madonna fans attacking me and incinerating me alive in 3...2...1 as always but you know this is true I am a former fan and I know her.

You're saying every Madonna fan should know she's "disgusting"?

We all know Madonna's a ****ing b---h who laughed at her own assistant being raped bloody, but that doesn't mean we have to believe an obviously fake article. Her dancers know what they're getting into and even if Madonna would be the one raping them bloody with a strap-on, they'd still thank the gods for having the opportunity to be on stage with her.

Is this a joke ? I can't tell, on GGD

You should have ignored his post, now he's going to flood the thread with his ridiculous replies.

I believe that Madonna is a very driven, very difficult person. But I'm not 100% convinced of this story.

[Jjang 2,262]

I'm not sure I buy it. I've always heard that she was pretty cool with her dancers, having been a former dancer herself, I'm sure she remembers all the pitfalls that can come with it. 

As for the "diva" remark, I wouldn't doubt this to be true. She's a perfectionist which is why we have had so many great moments and music from her. She also has a vast legacy, so she is considered one of the top names in the industry. She got to where she is by being headstrong and fearless. She has had to build a huge stone wall around herself to combat all the incredible amount of mudslinging and dragging she has had to endure over the years. So I don't doubt that she has built up such an attitude. While I don't find diva-ness a necessarily admirable trait, it can often be relatively harmless, so long as she doesn't step on others. Many legendary performers are accused of being divas and aren't particularly hated for it (in fact, some admire these qualities because they come from a place of strength and self assurance). Diana Ross, Cher, Whitney, Mariah, etc. All legendary performers who are celebrated for being divas. I don't care if a person is a bit of a diva, as long as they don't try and sabotage another's efforts/career.

Anyway, I hope it's not true. Dancers can be very important to a show, so a good dancer should be respected, especially when they work just as hard with almost none of the recognition. I'm sure Madonna recognizes this.

Exactly! 

The dancers seem to be rather excited about her work ethic in this video.

I mean i believe that madonna is a b---h anf that she can be anoying and bossy....but i dont think this article is 100%true

[Iwontell 7,312]

LOL, funny how this kind of accusations plague big succesful women...
I'm pretty sure there's some truth to it, sure, but there's also a lot of exaggeration...
Idk...as a fan, at this point, I don't really care about it anymore...at least with Madonna you know what you're getting from the start, while a lot of these younger pop girls strive to keep a nice facade, but act very differently in their private lives...

Oh, she'd definitely say that. Just not the way they used it here, IMHO.

[SychosSoChic 9,995]

Even if Madonna treated you like garbage,it'd still be an honor to work for her in the first place.

Yes.

Nothing like getting treated like **** daily for months on end.

Oh yeah, I mean it might break you down, but at least you dance with a star! OMG what an honour to get treated like ****!

That's how stupid your statement is. No, it's not an "honour" to work with someone who treats you like **** purely because they happen to be famous.

I love how some of you think it's ok for people to treat others like the dirt under their shoe just because they're famous. I hope you guys get some terrible bosses one day smh

-She treats her dancers well.

-Her dancers love her to death.

-It's an honor to work with one of the most legendary & innovative performers of all time and every dancer that auditioned for her tour knows that very well.

-You obviously do not know that, but dancers live a dog's live. If you made it from nothing to touring with ****ing Madonna then you better be grateful even if she's pushing you to your limits. 

I love how there's literally video proof throughout her 33 years long career that showcases her relationship with her dancers yet people still buy into this bull****. Amazing.

She uses it all the time. She actually stated in an interview in Billboard recently in response to criticism for her swearing in B***h I'm Madonna:

"I think that's bulls**t. The word police can f**k off. I don't want to be policed! I'm not interested in political correctness. The word "b***h" means a lot of different things. Everything is about context. When I first moved to England and heard the word "c**t", I was horrified. People were calling each other c***s! And then I realized that, in that culture, it was different—they slapped each other on the back and said, "Who's the c**t, right, you're my best mate!" The word "f**k" doesn't just mean s-xual intercourse. I mean, "You're a stupid f**k," "Are you going to f**k with me?" "F**k off!"... Sex has nothing to do with any of those expressions, and the same goes for "b***h". If I say to you, "I'm a badass b***h," I'm owning myself, I'm saying, "I'm strong, I'm tough, and don't mess with me." If I say, "Why are you being such a b***h to me?," well, that means something else."

Madonna has always sworn like a sailor, it's nothing new. The problem here is that she assumes that everyone in Britain uses the word in this way (most of us certainly don't) and also assumes that because she likes this definition, it's ok for her to use it. Even though outside Britain and Ireland, this word is highly offensive in every situation. If she's using it towards her dancers, that's not ok. Madonna's always appropriated stuff from Britain ever since she moved here, including that awful accent which she's thankfully abandoned now. She doesn't seem to realise that it looks and sounds bad when used in another culture. Then she has the cheek to downtalk some things about our country.

Yes.

You got it in one. So many of us in society have too much pride while simultaneously not having enough of it and this is a prime example. I don't like being treated badly by anyone, I don't care who they are or if I'm getting paid, they don't have that right. On the contrary, if I'm getting paid, all the more reason that they shouldn't treat me badly. You've got to be nice to the people beneath you as they make the world go round and you'd be nothing without them. Madonna's shows would be very different with no backing dancers or a band or any stage hands, as would every other artist's. This makes me like Gaga all the more as she's known to treat all her staff with respect.
