Celeb News: Malawian President DRAGS Madonna; calls her a Bully!

Thor

Madonna dragged by the Malawian President and The Guardian also goes IN on her.

Quote:

We had been studiously avoiding coverage of Madonna's latest trip to Malawi, but such is the deliciousness of the excoriating 11-point press release put out yesterday by Joyce Banda that we couldn't resist wading in. These two had previous — Madonna's people had scapegoated Banda's sister over a botched school project — and the latest visit was something of a surprise, as the singer was widely supposed to have been declared persona non grata. Last week Madonna sent Banda a weird overfamiliar hand-scrawled note which seemed to anger Banda to the extent that she immediately leaked it. Finally, enraged by Madonna's whining to the international press about having to check in on departure at the airport in Lilongwe, Africa's second female president totally lost it and laid down the presidential smackdown with a furiously sarcastic tirade in which she lectured the would-be do-gooder on the meaning of kindness, accused her of blackmail and bullying, lamented her failure to perform "decent music," and compared her unfavorably to Chuck Norris, Bono, and a trio of English soccer players. It's funny, but it's also a classic takedown of the astonishing entitlement of white savior types and their puffed-up pretensions. Here's her statement in all its glory:

There is more inside the article.

That is some ruthless dragging!

7. If the argument is that because she is an internationally renowned star, and, therefore, Madonna believes she deserved to be treated differently from other visiting foreigners, it is worth making her aware that Malawi has hosted many international stars, including Chuck Norris, Bono, David James, Rio Ferdinand and Gary Neville who have never demanded state attention or decorum despite their equally dazzling stature.

8. Among the many things that Madonna needs to learn as a matter of urgency is the decency of telling the truth. For her to tell the whole world that she is building schools in Malawi when she has actually only contributed to the construction of classrooms is not compatible with manners of someone who thinks she deserves to be revered with state grandeur. The difference between a school and a class room should be the most obvious thing for a person demanding state courtesy to decipher.

9. For her to accuse Mrs. Oponyo for indiscretions that have clearly arisen from her personal frustrations that her ego has not been massaged by the state is uncouth, and speaks volumes of a musician who desperately thinks she must generate recognition by bullying state officials instead of playing decent music on the stage.

I don't like Madonna or her music but we all know that this President and her defraudant sis took a proper care of all that money for poor people.

This letter also speaks volumes of you, a president taking the time to unecessarily "expose" a pop-star, who has probably invested more of her own money than you ever will into your own nation, instead of taking the time & effort to deal with the rampant poverty & corruption that remains under your lead.

Get your priorities in order.

Maybe that part was uncalled for but other points that they have raised are valid and should be made public knowledge. IMO!
