A while back, a handwritten note reportedly written by Madonna surfaced. In the letter, the “Material Girl” was said to have shaded Whitney Houston and actress, Sharon Stone.
Madonna Slams Whitney And Sharon Stone:
According to The Grio, a personal handwritten letter by Madonna was reportedly addressed to someone named “J.” Many people believe the ‘J’ stands for John Enos– a man whom Madonna dated for a short time. It appears that in the letter, Madonna was informing “J” that they couldn’t be together, however, there are parts of the letter where Madonna supposedly takes shots at A-list celebs, Whitney Houston and Sharon Stone.
In the letter, Madonna allegedly said the following:
“I have made so many people angry that I’m being punished and basically being made to be quiet and sit in a corner while other less interesting [and] exciting people are reaping the benefits of the road I’ve paid, she wrote, adding, It’s so unequivicably [sic] frustrating to read that Whitney Houston has the music career I wish I had and Sharon Stone has the film career I’ll never have. She continued, Not because I want to be those women, because I’d rather die but they’re so horribly mediocre and they’re always being held up as paragons of virtue and some sort of measuring stick to humiliate me.”
If that letter is the real deal, then Madonna’s envy levels were on 10! Both Madonna and Houston rose to superstardom in the mid-1980s, each racking up hit single, after hit single. At the time of Whitney’s tragic death, Madonna took to The Sun to pay homage to Whitney and Amy Whinehouse, as they were both talented singers who succumbed to drug abuse.
Madonna told The Sun: “One thing I was struck by with Whitney Houston is I remember she sort of came out as a singer around the same time I did. I remember looking at her singing and hearing people talk about her, and just thinking, ‘Oh my God. She’s such a beautiful woman and my God, what an incredible voice. I wish I could sing like that’. I just remember being extremely envious of her and also touched by her innocence.I was watching a documentary about Serge Gainsbourg, the French songwriter, and there’s a famous talk show he did that happened a while back when Whitney was just starting. It was funny, because I’d just watched it the week before she died, where he was making a kind of play for her on national television and he was basically saying in French that he wanted to f*ck her — and the look of shock on her face…”
In regards to the shade-filled letter…this was not the first time Madonna’s name was involved in a handwritten-letter-scandal. As many of y’all know, a handwritten letter from Tupac to Madonna emerged a few years ago, where the rapper poured out his heart to the singer in an extremely revealing letter he wrote from jail. However, in the note, ‘Pac broke up with Madonna because she was white, fearing that he would let down his fans.
Not sure if anymore alleged handwritten letters about/or from Madonna will surface in the near future, but we’ll be sitting back with a bucket of popcorn, ready to watch the show. 😎
