Madonna’s brother Christopher Ciccone was on Good Morning America this morning to promote his new unauthorized biography of the pop star called Life with My Sister Madonna. He was asked if he believes the story that Madonna was cheating on her husband and broke up Alex Rodriguez’s marriage, and he said it’s probably not true.
Says he doesn’t think Madonna cheated with A-Rod
Deborah Roberts: “Do you think your sister came between [Alex and Cynthia Rodriguez]?”
Chris: “I think it’s highly unlikely…
“First of all, despite everything else she’s still a Catholic girl, and I don’t think – Although, he is kind of her type so it’s difficult to say.”
DR: “So what happened between her and Alex Rodriguez, do you think?
CC: “I think that he was interested in Kabbalah, to be honest, and I don’t think… I know Alex from Miami, we’ve met a number of times. I doubt this is actually an affair.”
Not very many brothers find themselves wiping their sister’s naked body.
Then Christopher talked about how he used to be super close and live with Madonna and it was kind of creepy. He said that “it was like a marriage,” and that he used to even dress her when she was touring.
“Not very many brothers find themselves on their knees, in their sister’s dressing room, wiping sweat off of her naked body. It was an odd situation. I couldn’t really tell my friends, but I wanted to be there for her.”
He said they were living in the same house after Madonna and that they used to run together and “We had our sourdough toast together. We had our coffee together. We were very close. It was a bit like a marriage.”
Guy Ritchie came between us. I wasn’t about to sleep with her.
When asked what happened to their relationship, he said “Guy Ritchie pretty much happened to our relationship, for the most part…
“The best way to get to my sister is to get in bed with her. Since I wasn’t doing that – I wasn’t about to. The last person to speak to her at night has the most influence. We both couldn’t exist in the same hemisphere.. not to mention his issues with homosexuality.”
Christopher said Guy Ritchie has problems with gay people and with him, and that his friends made rude references to gay people in their toasts at his wedding to Madonna.
He said that the book is not an attempt to get revenge at anyone. He also claims Madonna is likely to hold on to her relationship with Guy and she’s not one to walk away.
Kaballah validated my sister’s bad behavior, she uses it like a weapon
Chris said he’s no longer a follower of Kabbalah but that he did follow it for a while. He said he was “blackmailed” into it, because Madonna owed him a payment on a house he designed for it, and that she said she would only pay him if he went to a Kabbalah class. He said it did find it helpful at the time and he needed to “take another look at myself.”
DR: “Has Kabbalah made your sister a better person?”
CC: “I suppose on some levels. Kabbalah in many ways has validated some of her bad behavior. Now it’s her way or no one’s way because she’s got God on her side… she has a tendency to use it like a weapon. I think that’s not what they quite intended.”
DR: “Are you saying she’s controlling and she uses Kabbalah to help her control?”
CC: “Controlling is a perfect word for it, and right now, in her life, there are three things she can’t control. She’s turning 50, her husband, and me and this book. That’s enough for anything who lives that kind of choreographed mythological life.”
Good Morning America will have more with Christopher Ciccone tomorrow including details of their childhood. Given all the dirt he’s dishing this book sounds pretty good. It’s also rather telling that he’s acting like Madonna was more to him than just his sister. He said he couldn’t tell his friends about their relationship and that it was “like a marriage.” He definitely has an axe to grind and is acting like a jilted lover.
So, let me get this straight; she blackmailed him to go to her wedding and she blackmailed him to go to kabbalah, anything else? Honestly, can’t this guy grow a pair or something?
The more he says, the more I sympathise with Madge. Scumbag talent-free parasite. Not in the least surprised that Ritchie didn’t like him.
Talk about sour grapes. I have nothing but disdain for Madonna but, this guy is a total freak. He makes me empathize with her.
As a connoisseur of gossip, I must say that this is book is really class-A merchandise.
My prediction is that some years after Madonna and Guy finally divorce, she and Christopher will become close again.
So he protected her and satisfied her every whim for 20 years, then came guy.
Now he wants to spill his guts with all her secrets. Sounds to me like he is jealous and lame.
Well next time you spend 20 years helping a sibling in everything they need. And said sibling cuts you off because husband is a ass wipe. Who hates gays. Get back to me.
Guy Ritchie and Madonna are still together because Guy is a big a ego driven souless spirit just like his wife. Some of you who read the book may understand narcissitic personality disorder and it’s effects on family members. Open your eyes. Madoona is evil to the core.
Evil to the core? That’s a little dramatic, don’t you think? How horrible to have your sibling sell you out. I mean, what could be more hurtful? Sounds to me like he needs the money and that’s where it ends. What a horrible brother.
umm….tell us something we DON’T know already!
Christopher Ciccone, shut the eff up. God, I hate whiners.
Good for him! That b@#$% needs to be exposed. You go Christopher!
He has every right to write this book. He lived it…it’s HIS story to tell.
Sounds to me like Madonna and her whole family are complete emotional f&*) ups. He is exposing himself to be just like her, which is probably not his intention. Very sad family. All the money in the world for her and she still plays silly little games. And he is bitter, I imagine it can’t be easy being Madonna’s sibling, but go to therapy or something. Come to terms with it somehow.
fukkin’ self-important sap.
she’s overshadowed him his whole life, and this is his payback. i can’t stand vadge, but no one really deserves this. a sibling is blood. if my sibling ever did this to me, man…. there is no forgiveness. this isn’t just an article released in a local gazette about joe-shmo. this is a guy who betrayed his sister on a global scale. guys in huts in Africa will know about some pretty intimate details once the book reaches their corner of the world. she has children – he’s their uncle. She’s a narcissistic b*tch, but this is straight-up wrong.
Has it ever occured to any of you haters that maybe this was all a big huge act put together by Madge herself? Maybe she wants some more publicity and so she secretly authorized all the tales in this book.
Think about it people, we all know what a controlling person she is, like any of this is really anything new…….
No suprising news here. We all know madonna is a socially stunted, uneducated copy cat. She seeks religion to teach her how to be because she never learned through experience and at her age, no less!
I’m assuming, from what I’ve read here, that Christopher Ciccone is gay.
I would think that a sibling dropping you after years of loyalty for a homophobic and laughing along at tasteless jokes at your expense at her wedding would be pretty damn painful. I dare say more painful than a book of further salacious details about her already publically salacious life would be.
I’m not condoning the book, I’m just saying that this book is going to hurt Madonna a whole hell of alot less than she hurt her brother.
Hey Diva – yes I should have mentioned he was gay. I was focusing too much on the details of what he said, sorry about that!
DOES HE HONESTLY BELIEVE THERE–can be a reconciliation?????—If he truly wanted to makeup he wouldnt have done this—this may be about hurt feelings both ways i believe–and then money—does he think this will put madonna in her place—-i doubt he will ever see his nephews or niece after this blatent public betrayal—what was he thinking???–$$$$$$$$$$$$$—That’s what—–I am gay but this is one bitter f–g—He is really a b-tch—actually mb they both are –who knows??? Madonna gave the grandma so much so that money wouldn’t go to him or other family members she doesn’t get along with——-I know Madonna doesn’t like to be taken advantage of by her family–She wants to be loved for herself–Not what she has
