Madonna Doesn’t Seem to Be Handling the Rocco Drama So Well

Between a world tour, custody battle, and just being Madonna, the Material Girl has a lot going on — as fans at her Brisbane concert on Thursday night noticed.
The singer shocked the crowd when she brought 17-year-old Josephine Georgiou onstage and pulled her corset top down revealing the fan’s left breast.
“She’s the kind of girl you just want to slap … on the a** … and pull,” Madonna announced before exposing the teen. “Oh s***! Oh sorry, sexual harassment,” she said as she went in to pull the teen into a hug. “You can do the same to me. Good luck.”
While the audience was stunned to say the least, Georgiou seemed unfazed by the incident and defended Madge’s actions. “Only I get to decide if I’m humiliated or not. Why would people assume I am humiliated by my own breast, nipple or body?” she reportedly said in an interview with The Courier-Mail. “I didn’t realize my boob was such a big deal — it was nothing to me."

Madonna also exhibited some odd behavior at her Melbourne performance last Saturday. It was reported that the pop queen, 57, had a meltdown during the show, drinking from a bottle of tequila and getting raw with the audience. Lowlights include the moment she got off a tricycle, liquor bottle in hand, and said to the audience, “Somebody take care of me, please. Who is going to take care of me?” That was followed by a profanity-laced rant, during which she said, “Someone please f*** me.” She also drank from a flask that reportedly belonged to an audience member.
Madonna is known for speaking her mind during her shows. In January, she called her ex-husband Guy Ritchie — with whom she is locked in a bitter custody battle over their son Rocco — a not-very-nice word in Nashville.

During her first Melbourne show last Thursday, she also imbibed on stage. At one point, she was dressed as a clown, and dedicated a song to Rocco.
Because she’s on the road, Madonna didn’t appear in London’s High Court on Friday for the ongoing custody battle, but Guy and his new wife, Jacqui Ainsley, were there with Rocco. However, a lawyer representing her told the judge that she is seeking to stop litigation in the ongoing case, and she hopes to “heal the wounds” that have been created by her strained relationship with her 15-year-old son.
Watch Madge address the crowd in Melbourne, profanity and all:
In December, she went to court to demand that Rocco return to live with her in NYC after he refused to come home after spending the holidays with his dad in England.
We should have known Madonna had something big planned for her Brisbane performances. Prior to continuing the Australian leg of her tour, Madge wrote on Instagram that she was looking forward to her shows on Wednesday and Thursday, and also weighed in on the headlines over her Melbourne antics:
Oh, Madonna.
