Madonna rages over New York Times profile

Madonna has publicly slammed the New York Times after it published an in-depth profile that she claims “degraded” her.

Madonna is not happy with her New York Times profile.

The Vogue singer took to Instagram to share her favourite photo that didn’t make it into the profile and slammed the newspaper in her caption, claiming it’s “one of the founding fathers of the Patriarchy.”

“To say that I was disappointed in the article would be an understatement- It seems. You cant fix society And its endless need to diminish, Disparage or degrade that which they know is good,” Madge wrote alongside the series of photos. “Especially strong independent women.”

The 60-year-old icon took exception to the writer’s focus on the minutiae of Madonna’s life instead of seeing the larger picture.

“The journalist [Vanessa Grigoriadis] who wrote this article spent days and hours and months with me and was invited into a world which many people don't get to see, but chose to focus on trivial and superficial matters such as the ethnicity of my stand in or the fabric of my curtains and never ending comments about my age which would never have been mentioned had I been a MAN!” the Madame X singer shared.

“Women have a really hard time being the champions of other women even if. [sic] they are posing as intellectual feminists,” she continued. “Im sorry I spent 5 minutes with her.”

Madonna then went on to say she felt “raped” again, which she also said she felt after her “Rebel Heart” album leaked.

“And yes I’m allowed to use that analogy having been raped at the age of 19,” she explained. “Further proof that the venerable N.Y.T. Is one of the founding fathers of the Patriarchy. And I say — DEATH TO THE PATRIARCHY woven deep into the fabric of Society. I will never stop fighting to eradicate it.”

In 2015, Madonna opened up to Howard Stern about moving to New York and being raped at 19. She never reported it.
