American singer Madonna was criticized by her followers who objected to her appearance at the Grammy Awards, which made Madonna break her silence and respond to the criticism leveled at her.
Madonna commented on her photos: “The world is threatened by my strength, my endurance, my intelligence and my will to survive, but they will never break me.” And she attacked her critics, and the criticism was because of her strange features that appeared at the ceremony, and raised the astonishment of all those present, and pictures of Madonna’s appearance spread on social networking sites. It is widely circulated by activists
The reason is the appearance of the 64-year-old American singer, with swollen cheeks with a facelift, and she also appeared with thin eyebrows, which made many express their surprise, but Madonna responded to these comments in her own way.
Where she published excerpts from the ceremony and appeared with the famous artists who attended the ceremony and commented on the pictures and said: “The close-up picture taken with a long lens camera,” thus Madonna interpreted the strange image that showed her swollen face.
Madonna repeated her criticism to her followers and added: “Instead of focusing on what I said in my speech .. many people chose to only talk about close-ups of me taken with a long lens camera, by a photojournalist, that would distort anyone’s face … again I’m stuck In the midst of the ageism and misogyny that permeates the world we live in.”
She also considered that the world punishes women who have crossed the 45-year mark and refuses to celebrate them, and the world punishes them if they feel their desire for work, adventure and strong will.
And Madonna continued her speech in a sharp tone, in which she said that she would not apologize for any of the creative choices she made, not even for the way she chose her clothes or appearance, and stressed that she will not apologize for her attack, because she was degraded by the press in the early days of her fame, where she said: “But I understand This is all a test, and I am happy to lead so that all women after me may have an easier time in the years to come.”
Madonna concluded, “You’re not going to break my spirit… I look forward to many more years of disruptive behavior, pushing boundaries, standing up to patriarchy, and most of all enjoying my life.”
