No, and neither should she.

[Ken4155]

It could very well have been stage managed, but if it isn't, the 'fan' could sue for quite a sum. After all, there were one or two witnesses.

[Ken4155]

Just actually read the link - i was going off what i read in my daily which made no mention of the womans comments. Had she been an American (or British), the lawyers would be busy right now.

Iggy Pop has been exposing his breast for 40 years I know of !

Have you read the link, mokey?


No a male artist would not get away with it.

[Mamyalynne]

A male artist would be vilified very quickly.

aog, I remember many years ago seeing Freddie Starr live. A very atractive girl came on stage and Freddie went up to her and not only pulled down her top, but (to put it bluntly) sucked on her bare breast !!! And no, nobody complained.

Ah, more innocent times eh ?
:-)

Madonna of course took a tumble during the Brit Awards previously which proves the old adage:

'A fall comes before pride'. ;)

Would a male get away with this? Some don't have to do it. Tom Jones would have knickers thrown at him!!

Big difference between women throwing their knickers at Tom Jones and a 17 year being exposed to a huge crowd.

[Canary42]

Yes, at an Art Life class.

[Old_Geezer]

The article suggests it was accidental. At least the fan seems to think so and isn't bothered.

Wasn't Tom supposed to wash them and return them ironed, then ?

[hc4361]

At an art life class the sitter has volunteered, knows what is going to happen, agrees to it and often gets paid.

[jackthehat]

Mad-donna seems to be a woman on the verge of a crisis.
No, a man wouldn't get away with doing this....and nor should Madonna.

[agchristie]

The girl said she was not humiliated or took offence.

Presumably, she went to the concert as she is a big fan. The same would apply if it was a male performer I reckon.

[Prudie]

When she was young it would have been expected shock behaviour, at her age it's just plain yukky and pathetic - and unacceptable.

[Mamyalynne]

The video does make it look more of an accident, Madonna has been under the influence for most of this tour and has displayed some very weird behaviour and falling about - no excuse of course.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, Ag

She was 17 so no problem...
