Prior to the finalization of the divorce between Madonna and Guy Ritchie, the material girl reportedly began compiling a dossier of negative behaviors on her estranged husband that she had planned to use in court of things got messy. But according to reports, she backed off that strategy after overhearing a tearful phone call between daughter Lourdes, 12, and Guy. Apparently, Madonna is even considering allowing visitation rights for Lourdes and Guy, although he is not her biological father.
MADONNA ordered staff to compile a damning DOSSIER on Guy Ritchie’s “boozing and sexist behaviour” to get a low-key quickie divorce, we can reveal.
She told close friends: “I’m going to BURY him”. Then she handed pages of neatly typed “evidence” to lawyers.
The secret file, not released in court, was to support her grounds of Guy’s “unreasonable behaviour” and to get custody of the three kids.
But she eventually THAWED on that issue last week—after hearing tearful daughter Lourdes, 12, tell Guy on the phone how much she missed him.
A member of Madonna’s inner circle shattered the myth that the divorce case was always amicable—and revealed the lengths she went to to get her way.
Our source said: “Madonna had Guy over a barrel. She was determined to come out of this smelling of roses—and that she would not be the next Heather Mills by dragging it out in a very public way.
“Madonna was angry because she felt Guy had welshed on the deal that they would keep the happily married image going until the end of her current tour.
“So she became determined to paint him as a drunken, lewd sexist.”
Madonna, 50—angered by his lads’ nights out—roped in her workers to help. The source said: “She got staff to keep a record of every time he was out late or made an off-colour comment. It was bizarre as he’s not a heavy drinker or abusive. He doesn’t drink any more than the next man.
“But she was trying to show he’d be a bad influence on the kids, which is rubbish. Guy’s a devoted dad and the kids adore him.”
Madonna wanted Lourdes —her daughter from a previous relationship—and sons Rocco and David Banda to live in the US with her. Guy wanted the boys, aged eight and two, in England.
But we can reveal they agreed on equal access during three recent phone calls by Madonna to Guy.
In CALL No1, they talked about both wanting custody—and decided NOT to thrash it out in open courtto spare the kids more upset.
CALL No2 saw Madonna ring Guy after putting Rocco and David Banda on a plane from LA to London on November 11.
“She didn’t tell Guy that she was sending them over until they were in the air. Guy was over the moon.”
In CALL No3 they agreed to joint custody of all three children. “It came after Lourdes had spoken to Guy on the phone,” said the source.
“They were both in tears and told each other they loved and missed each other so much. No mother could fail to be moved by that.”
So far, no reports have come out about Lourdes spending any time with her ex-stepdad. But it wouldn’t surprise me if she did miss him- after all, he was a father figure in her life for eight years. That doesn’t just go away because her mother is no longer with him. Lourdes does have a very close relationship with her father, Carlos Leon, who has been helping her get through this tough time. As for this “dossier” Madonna was keeping, I can imagine her doing something like that to get what she wants – this is a woman who doesn’t like to compromise on anything. Luckily for the children, the contents of this document were left private.

Really hope Madge is big enough to allow this contact. She could probably learn quite a bit about real, heartfelt, human emotion from her kids.
AWWW isn’t it cute to see Vadge’s itty bitty heart thaw out a bit?
Lourdes obviously views Guy as a loving, stable male figure in her hectic life, this doesn’t surprise me.
“So she became determined to paint him as a drunken, lewd sexist.”
Who does Guy think he is to out-drink, out-lewd and out-sexist Madonna!?!
The lawyer probably told her to nix using that list because the world would see what a vicious, conniving, anal bitch that Vadge is, although the rest of us might get a few chuckles reading it. Those poor kids. She is trying to use them as a weapon, but she will fall on her own sword. Lourdes is old enough to see what is really going on. Poor kid. All 3 should live with Guy.
Did she have a chin or jaw implant of some sort — or is her skin just stretched so tight that she looks like a skull? Her jawline is so extreme. WEIRD!
As someone said on another thread, that’s a jaw you could dig a grave with.
OK, but who didn’t know this was coming? Guy Ritchie has been this kinda guy the whole time…and now she has a problem with it? Makes you wonder WTH is really going on… 🙄
The Gristle thaws slowly. But it happens, if the stars align.
Okay, seriously, I need to know… Who ARE these insiders, and how do they get so close to a celebrity that they know intimate details about the celeb’s life but aren’t ashamed to spill them to a tabloid???? It amazes me to think that someone as anal, fierce, and controlling as Madonna wouldn’t smell one of these supposed “friends” from a mile away. Which is why I find these “insider” stories really difficult to believe. But is it just me? Do other people really take a story like this at face value? I mean, isn’t it possible this unknown source is the sister of the boyfriend whose girlfriend’s mother’s best friend is the toilet cleaner in Madge’s mansion, and therefore, somewhat — just SOMEWHAT — unreliable? 😕
Kaiser, and if those stars collide.
Implode = black hole…. 8)
Madge is a C U Next Tuesday.
What’s up with the hem of her trousers?
CALL No2 saw Madonna ring Guy after putting Rocco and David Banda on a plane from LA to London on November 11.
“She didn’t tell Guy that she was sending them over until they were in the air.”
Excuse me – who on earth would put their 3 and 8 year old children on an 8-hour plane trip without notifying their dad?? Even giving her the benefit of the doubt that they must have had a minder, that’s terrible.
what kind of religion teaches that level of selfishness?
she’s so phoney, it hurts.
anyone who gets stuck with her now deserves to be. she has controlling written on every wrinkle and bulging vein. but then, guess money can buy anything.
Yeah, because dossiers about WMDs (whingy Madonna’s delusions) has gone down an storm in the British courts in recent years 🙄
As someone said – the man was a lughead 8 years ago, chances are he’s a lughead that’s had 8 more years to get set in his ways.
Lourdes, I’d recommend that the second you turn 18 you go to university in Timbuktoo and stay from the whole feckin’ lot of ’em.
Granger, I roll my eyes at these ‘insiders’ in almost every post. A great deal of gossip is sold to the tabs from people ‘in’ with productions, who give them tidbits that go on to become sensationalist exposes. This woman is just so pretentious, I can’t help but believe any crazy thing written about her.
Something I can’t seem to get past these days – Madonna is so not worthy of her moniker. I think I might be able to handle her a bit more if her name was Susan or Jennifer but Madonna? 🙄
Alex take note. Don’t be a dumb jock if you can help it. Run. Run faster than you’ve ever run. It will feel better than any home run you’ve ever had
I want to put her and Tom Cruise on a plane and take them skydiving. With no parachutes.
SAMPSON could have used that jawbone to slay those Philistines
It is a tricky situation because Guy is not the father. Who marries Madonna anyway? I shocked they lasted that long. Those poor kids have to pay for their parent’s mistakes.
Nasty nasty stretched facelift horror. Oh god oh god the hairline disappearing further and further behind the ears. Make it stop.
So’s she finally remembered there are children involved in all of this too? How big of her.
I find it interesting that there could be a possible file related to Guy based upon private investigation. I believe as we talk about the he said she said, where do the children fit into this situation that has developed over the course of several years? Yes, Madge and Guy can both afford the best that money can buy, but what will happen to the children within this situation? We will not have a true understanding of the true effects within the children until many years later when it will manifest itself in their actions despite all the counseling the children may receive at any given point in time. So, will we be saying the same things about the children when years later they follow in mom’s and dad’s footsteps for better or for worse? In this situation we have also forgotten about A-Rod’s children. Will A-Rod’s children have similar relationships, because of the “Practice What I Do Syndrome!” Children are followers of whom they aspire to be most like, and this would be their parents. What the children see will always remain as a lasting impression verses what someone may say. Actions always will speak louder than words. In addition, life will go on for Madge, Guy, and A-Rod, but how will their children respond to their parents’ actions. Will actions speak louder than words or will the children respond to the “gospel!” Yes, we all live in this world for better or worse, and we all have desires/wants/needs, but where will these desires/wants/needs take our children? Obviously, not one person can tell us exactly what has transpired between Madge and Guy, what exactly had happened to break the marriage? Yes, there will always be differences between people, but what were the differences that forced Madge to say goodbye, and affect her in such a way? Only she will tell us in time if she allows us to know, and then we will have to take her at her word, because she has inspired so many of us to pursue or goals and attain what was once thought impossible. Let us enjoy her enduring qualities as a women who wants to be loved. More importantly, let us always remember that life is good, and we need to make the most of our life, by being happy and loved, as Madge would want the same for us.
“Luckily for the children, the documents will be kept private”? Are you F***king kidding me?! As if you give a shit about someone’s privacy and what that may do to their children when it’s invaded. Speculation, rumor, inuendo, manipulation, and gossip is your passion. Don’t pretend otherwise. ❗ 👿 ❗
