After Madonna appeared at the recent Grammy Awards with a look that makes her look very different from how she normally is, the comments were not long in social networks, being a good majority of them severe criticisms towards the former Material Girl.
One of those critics is host Megyn Kelly, who said on her show that she is concerned about Madonna's health and well-being.
During her SiriusXM podcast, Kelly said that Madonna is actually "unwell" and suffering from an "illness," this after the singer received heavy criticism for "abusing plastic surgery."
"I'm sorry, but this is a disease," Kelly said. "This is a sick person we saw at the Grammys the other night, and I don't know if it says more about her, about our society or about celebrity, but it disturbs me to the core."
This was said by Kelly, who some time ago underwent Botox treatment to look younger. However, she assures that she will not alter her appearance in the grotesque way that Madonna has done.
"I'd like to think that when I'm 64, I'm not going to give a shit what people think about my looks or my age," she asserted. "This tells me she's a sick person who needs help."
While Madonna defended herself against the attacks on networks
Faced with the criticism she received, Madonna took to her Instagram to defend herself from the attacks with a long post:
"Instead of focusing on what I said in my speech, which was about giving thanks for the fearlessness of artists like Sam Smith and Kim Petras, many people preferred to talk only about the close-up photos of me taken with a long lens camera by a press photographer that would distort anyone's face!" she explained.
"Once again, I am caught in the glare of ageism and misogyny that permeates the world we live in. A world that refuses to celebrate women over 45 and feels the need to punish them if they remain strong, hardworking and adventurous."
"I have never apologized for any of the creative decisions I've made or the way I look or dress and I'm not about to start doing that," Madonna added. Read Also : Growing concern for Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck: Marriage in trouble?
