It’s not surprising that Madonna has a lot of rage built up in her. She seems like the very angry, bitter, petty, spiteful sort. Not to be too descriptive or anything. Apparently Madonna’s rage at Guy Ritchie is so severe that she’s in anger management at the Kabbalah centre in New York. And why shouldn’t she be seething with bile? She’s obviously the victim in this whole thing.
MADONNA is having intense Kabbalah “anger management” counselling to deal with her fury against GUY RITCHIE — as the couple’s bitter divorce takes its toll. The 50-year-old singer, who was last night in Montreal for a concert on her world tour, is expected to head back to New York this weekend to visit the city’s Kabbalah Centre.
She also has a counsellor from the mystical Jewish faith who accompanies her on the road to help handle her boiling rage over the split. Sources say Madge — mum to daughter Lourdes, 12, son Rocco, eight, and adopted tot David Banda — is furious over Guy’s money demands and the way ugly details of their relationship have leaked out.
“She is getting help from a Kabbalah counsellor who is helping her try to put aside her anger, so they can settle the divorce as quickly as possible for the sake of the children. The counsellor is telling her she will meet her soulmate — but first has to calm her anger.”
One pal said: “Madonna feels that Guy is being a gold-digger, and she is furious that he feels entitled to a lot of money from her. She feels he didn’t contribute as much as her during the marriage so shouldn’t expect to take so much away. She has turned to Kabbalah to sooth her rage, and is getting intense counselling on the road and at the Kabbalah Centre in New York.”
Madge was seen leaving the Centre last week during a brief break from her gruelling Sticky & Sweet tour. Kabbalah teaches that to find a real soulmate a person must put aside anger and will to win in a relationship — and become a better person. Its relationship advice reads: “Difficulties and disagreements are without exception opportunities for us to become that right person.”

I seriously doubt there are very many people that would be willing to deal with the inherent misery that would come with spending any amount of time with Madonna – for any amount of money. Let alone men that would want to marry her. I know there’s a couple out there, but I think they must have some serious issues and want to be degraded and treated with cold abandon. Madonna was lucky to be able to find a guy who brought about twenty million dollars into the relationship. She should expect that she’ll have to buy off whoever she ends up with in some way.
And wasn’t she the one who started talking shit about her marriage the very day they announced their divorce? Clearly she has some anger issues – they’re so severe that she has to put them on everyone else because she can’t handle how much blame should be aimed at herself. Luckily mystical Kabbalah will help sort it all out.
Here’s Madonna arriving at the New York Kabbalah centre with her kids last night. Images thanks to WENN.
If you ask me, she’s in arrested developement. At what age did her mother die? Whatever that age was that is where she has stayed and that is where her anger lives.
Guy wants a ton of money???since the beginning all we heard his that he dosen’t want much but if he does then why not?she should have signed a prenup in the first place.if i was married to that she-hulk for 7 years i’d want half of her sh*t!!it works for women now it’s time for the guys 😈
Who could blame her for being angry – St Guy gets a free ride in the press while nobody really knows what went on in their marriage.
this vilification is the price society exacts from Madonna for following her own path and not being a ‘good’ woman ie. meek, feminine and ‘soft’
and it’s women who hate her the most
“Its women who hate her the most”. Gee, what’s not to love?
xiaoecho, amen
Well said xiaoecho. The disgusting amount of vitriol hurled at this woman is disgusting. Jesus, you’d swear she was a serial killer they way some people are gloating over her troubles.
If reports are anywhere near true, they both behaved badly, all throughout the marriage. Such is the nature of people who care more about fame, money and career than they do about the people in their lives.
They have both been into Kabbalah for the better part of a decade. Tell me again how Kabbalah, in her own words, “makes you a better person,” when after 8-10 years of it, she still needs anger counselling?
“this vilification is the price society exacts from Madonna for following her own path and not being a ‘good’ woman ie. meek, feminine and ’soft’”
Honestly, I don’t agree. I think everyone’s just sick of her at this point. She’s been constantly in the media since the mid-80s and seems to think that the public should find everything she does fascinating and “shocking”. She lives for attention and doesn’t seem to have noticed that she’s had more than her fair share over the past what, 20+ years? We don’t vilify her because she’s a ‘strong woman’ (I don’t actually believe that she is anyway) but because as a collective cultural consciousness, we’ve had more than our fill.
my dislike for madonna has nothing to do with her being a woman.
it’s to do with her ruthless, selfish ways. i’d have the same disregard for her if she was a man.
I think this goes down because they are both petty and both of them are doing this in the media. They need to shut up and be low key for the kid’s sake. Good lord the anger on both parts is unreal, can you imagine what it was like living in the house for the last 6 months. I hope the Rabbi’s help her find some control and peace so she can move on without destroying the kids in the process. And he’s just as a bad as she.
😯 Just shocked at the image of men lining up to marry Madonna.
The irony, Kabbalah to the rescue! Isn’t Kabbalah at the top of the list of things that helped screw up her marriage in the first place? 🙄
Maybe TinyTom will ring up ms M and ask her to attend some $cientol magical meetings; Guy HAD to know before marriage what he would be getting into; didn’t they have the male kid prior to the nuptials? still, he deserves ALOT ALOT ALOT for putting up with Popeyette!
i bet those kabbalah people are so tired of her by now.
they’re like “this one is hopeless!”
nail on the head geronimo and ter!
IMO, esthers'(wasn’t that her kabbalah name)rage stems from the fact she can’t control everyone all the time. while guy has seemingly been fairly quiet about the divorce, she is acting like a spoiled brat and having her camp leak info. i’m sure the sweet ginger gal on the arm of guy is infuriating madge!
if this was about money, a prenup would have been signed, madge is too buisness savvy to let that go undone. she seems the type to burn bridges and then salt the earth so that nothing grows. an example of wicked personality rearing it’s ugly head.
the longer this shiznit goes on, the more respect i lose for madonna and all she has done over the decades. this strong independent woman is acting like an immature spoiled old lady who needs a nap and a cup of cocoa… (made with rice milk that is!)
I don’t envy her that rage. It will eat you up. Waking up every morning with teeth -gnashing fury just takes it out of you. I can’t stand Madonna, but I wouldn’t wish that kind of rage on my worst enemy.
xiaoecho: I think you’re right. We have no idea what went on with them in private. She seems like an incredibly strong person in lots of ways but also extremely vulnerable and human, you know, like the rest of us. She’s trying to figure herself out and f***ing up alot along the way. Why is she being made out to be the devil??
People do the same thing to AJ and it’s pathetic and very much to do with the fact that they’re strong women.
I don’t feel Madona deserves the kind of insulting judgement that’s always hurled at her. She’s the march -to your-own-drummer kind and I would want more little girls to grow up like her than many other famous women around. Madona’s
worked very hard for what she has and stands to loose a whole lot to Guy Ritchie in this divorce. By the same token though she has made this more public than it has to be and shouldn’t be surprised that the price keeps going up. Common sense and common courtesy are things she desperately needs. Might shorten the ordeal for her, him and specially their children.
what a miserable life it must be.
A strong person would not need constant validation and worshipping from external sources. They would be secure enough about themselves that they did not feel the need to control their entire environment down to the details either.
Also, I bet that Guy would make the divorce easy if he got guaranteed good access to the kids…
Can someone tell me how a woman with her “anger issues” and the notorious “sex book” can adopt a child? What the hell is wrong with people today? Has anyone ever seen this sex book? I have it ( bought for investment purposes) She definitely has real problems and people who cannot control their anger end up slapping the hell out of their kids!
I agree, Anon.
Wonder how Kabbalah are feeling now that their most high-profile spokesperson is revealing herself to be so dementedly petty and vindictive? I think this break-up is really sad – for her, for Guy, for their kids. All she ever needed to do was just say they tried to make it work, it became unsustainable and now they’re going their separate ways. Then I’d have had sympathy for her. Honestly don’t think she’s capable of finding happiness on an equal footing with anyone.
She is probably angry with herself for not signing a pre-nup before she got married! You would think she was smart enough to no better.
God forbid Madge would admit SHE actually did anything wrong in the marriage…
As for the money, as the one with the massive wealth, she should expect to have to pay him off to some degree. That’s the way the marital cookie crumbles. What’s mine is yours, and all that.
I agree with the above comments about why people hate on her. It’s nothing to do with her being female or powerful. It’s the cumulation of over 20 years of her self-righteous, self-regarding, humourless need to be centre of the universe and her refusal to lighten the f*** up, be a little humble and just ENJOY what she’s achieved.
@Sanjay007 – I’m gleaning you’ve looked at the copy you have and if the foil sleeve has been opened the book isn’t worth anything.
Baho: 😆 So much for retiring early, Sanjay.
We aren’t villifying Madonna because of our social response to women who don’t stick to the expected female role, we are villifying Madonna because it’s becoming more and more obvious that she’s a self-involved narcissist.
I swear she’s angry because she actually feels she compromised a lot for Guy – of course in normal terms this just the normal range of give and take in a relationship. However on planet Madonna is cause for rage of epic proportions.
She really needs to mellow out, if even for the sake of her public image. Easing up on her apparent control issues would have gone a long way.
It’s life, something’s gonna give even if you don’t want it to. She’s loaded, her children are all healthy, and Guy’s not selling maliciously chosen personal details about her to the highest bidder – so she might want to lighten up.
Why does anyone have to put either of them down? Doesn’t anyone know relationships are difficult? Jeez. Sure it was fool hardy of her not to have a prenup, but she was probably in love.
I hope they both heal and move on.
I totally agree with ff. And no one is putting them down boodiba; they “madonna and guy” are airing their dirty laundry. this would all be guesswork on our parts if they behaved like adults and stopped with the thinly veiled attacks and the sanctioned “source” stories hitting tabloids and online gossip bloggers. I mean, team Madonna actually gave a story to PerezHilton of all people. That speaks volumes.
I hope they both heal and move on.
Let’s all join hands and sing kum-bye-ya. It won’t be funny or accomplish anything, but it’ll make us feel better.
“Kum-bye-ja” !!!! Yep, I feel much better. Thank you.
He hasn’t taken much from the marriage. C’mon, she’s just pissed because he’s not kissing her arse! She’s a miserable old witch with muscles. He should get custody of his son. let her take David and Lourdes since they both have fathers already.
i wonder if the kids would want to split up?
Splitting the kids up = terrible idea
didn’t she just offer him more money if he agreed to allow her to decided when he can see his children?
And I am suppose to feel sorry for this egotisical meglomaniac for what reason? That she is a victim?
I feel bad for the kids, they don’t get to get out of the line of fire.
Madonna has created her fortune and her fame through the unapologetic use of intentional derision and offense. Her entire career is built on her giving the finger to the feelings, faith, and ambitions of everyone who ever cared about her…including her fans.
I have never seen her as daring or cutting edge. She has no exceptional singing or dancing talent, but she has charisma and she has an almost unique lack of concern for the feelings and conventions of others. She is like a spiteful child who knows which buttons will send mommy off in a rage…and she delights in pushing them.
What surprises me is how much this woman expects other people to cuddle up and sympathize with her side of things when she encounters trouble in her own personal life. She has made her life’s mission the degradation and dismissal of other people’s feelings and concerns. I suppose it’s taken her a while to learn that when you do that, and when you do it so universally for so many years, eventually people will cease to care about whether or not life and love are treating you kindly.
Let’s not forget that Madonna is a middle child of a family of seven siblings, with a mother who fought her battle with cancer and died at home leaving an angry and bitter father to raise this brood. I am typing in her defense and not criticizing. As a child in a nuclear family and subjected to divorced parents and step-parenting, anyone who is going through this process and acknowledges early on that there is a lot of anger and disappointment is a better person. My mother would never have succeeded in raising me well had she not dealt with her anger in a very personal and private manner. It is too bad for celebrity that there trials are so public and still no from the media tells the story in a manner that redeems the reader and the reader’s emotional intelligence. God bless Madonna and Guy and family. 😮
thank you Wesley
So…we should feel sorry for her because her dad was kind of bitter after the divorce and she hasn’t chosen to seek therapy for her anger over growing up in a home of divorce?
Sorry. No dice.
We CHOOSE how we behave. Madonna has behaved the way she does for decades. My entire life, as a matter of fact, Madonna has been making money by offending as many people as she can and keeping herself in the limelight by flicking boogers at the traditions and ideas that most of her countrymen hold very near and dear.
She isn’t doing this for any political or personally dear cause. It’s not civil disobedience or some kind of worthy and noble statement she’s making through this wanton disregard for others. No. It’s about her. It’s about the money. It’s about the attention.
So.
She’s a grown woman with a marriage and kids to raise, but she’s still too concerned with pitching fits like a toddler to do her job or treat her family with the care and humble respect they deserve.
My parents got divorced, remarried, my stepdad drank too much and was very angry all the time (no abuse…just a jerk to live with). Blah, blah, blah.
You don’t see me throwing my marriage(s) away, using my kid as a pawn, and treating my friends like garbage when they lose the ability to help my career along.
You’ll have to come up with something better than, “she’s a child of divorce” to drum up societal sympathy for this woman.
Madonna seems to have a few true friends who know the scared little girl behind the horrible woman. Hopefully, she will lean on them and get support from those who actually DO give a flying frog’s butt about how Madonna “feels.”
Ultimately, no matter what a person has “been through,” it is one’s own moral obligation to behave and move through life with kindness, perspective, maturity, and love. No one said it was easy. We just said it was expected of you if you want people to consider you worthwhile.
Madonna’s issues started long before Guy Ritchie came along. I think she is a conflicted person religiously and sexually.
Many people feel that all anger is wrong and should not be expressed. Maybe Madonna know about it. 🙂
