Yeah. She really needs to step away from social media, because she is so freakin' embarrassing. She also posted a pic of Lola and Rocco with the quote "Two halves of my heart." ... what about your two other kids? Is she just bad at math? I get that she might feel that her other two kids are too young for social media and any posting, but she weirdly seems to forget about them a lot. The "I'm Madonna Bitch" is also out. Link... I feel like she is being influenced by her teens kids, but not in a good way. Like, she is taking too much too literal from teen culture. Teenagers generally have a pretty stupid aesthetic. Ug. C'mon, Madonna! My inner nine-year-old wants to root for you! Why can't you stay awesome like a lot of lady musicians do?

I saw that instagram and it pissed me off. I don't think she's bad at math or any other excuse she can come up with. I think those other kids aren't important to her. Glorified fashion accessories. She trots them out for PR. I'm done with her.

A few pages back, I made the same comment about how she seems to ignore/forget them a lot and this is the type of stuff I was thinking of. In more than one interview, she's been asked about her children and she'll specifically say she has two children and talk about Lola and Rocco and then remember mid-story that she has two whole other children and toss in a quickie cya line about them.

That is so incredibly sad. Those poor kids.
ETA: And she is getting major flack from fans right now for her ad campaign for her album, which shows Civil Rights/Black Rights leaders bound. She did issue a poorly written apology:
Girl, this is one of MANY scandals you have had recently involving race. It is not okay to appropriate and fetishize images of Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King to sell your little album.
The last time something like this happened (aka she dropped the n-bomb on social media, then claimed she thought it was a term of endearment), she trotted out her younger kids at an award show. Wanna take bets on what she might do this time?

How does having a black cord wrapped around your head, marring your face, make you a frigging rebel with a "rebel heart"? Makes you more like victims from one of Stephen King's darker books.
She is ridiculous now.

I think that she is realizing the stuff she got away with in her 30s she can't get away with now.

Lady Gaga was stealing her thunder for a while there, so she really has to step up her game. Seriously though, I think she says/does half the stuff she does hoping for scandal (any press is good press).

I agree, she's been around too long not to know that this would cause a ton of criticism.

I don't know if she has a pr person, or anyone who tries to advise her, but if she does I'm sure she steamrolls right over them; she'd pay someone to advise her and then treat them as someone else to rebel against. I'm reminded of one of her stupid quotes from when her Sex book came out,"Its not much fun, being a rebel."
She's had 25 years to figure out something else to do, something else that might be "fun". No one put a gun to her head and told her she had to rebel, and badly, for the rest of her life. She should have a satisfying private life and inner life by now. I don't think she does.

Oh yeah. She might be loving that this is a scandal of sorts, but it's not exactly rebellious to re-tweet racially insensitive fan-made album art.
A lot of her snafus these days have leaned toward a "is Madonna ignorant and/or racist?" It's controversial because racial appropriation is bad. There's not much debate here. It's just bad.
