Madonna Denies Allegations That Sean Penn Tied Her Up And Beat Her With A Baseball Bat

madonna-living-for-love-rebel-heart-video174I am aware of the allegations that have surfaced over the years accusing Sean of incidents of physical assault and abuse against me. Specifically, I am aware of the allegations concerning an alleged incident that occurred in June, 1987, whereby (according to tabloid reports), Sean allegedly struck me with ‘a baseball bat.’ I know the allegations in those and other reports to be completely outrageous, malicious, reckless, and false.

I am also aware of allegations concerning an incident that occurred in December, 1989, which purportedly resulted in Sean’s arrest for domestic assault and battery against me. I know those allegations to be false.

While we certainly had more than one heated argument during our marriage, Sean has never struck me, ‘tied me up,’ or physically assaulted me, and any report to the contrary is completely outrageous, malicious, reckless, and false,”

 

Madonna, commenting on decades-old rumors that ex-husband Sean Penn tied her up and beat her, in a court document in support of Penn’s defamation lawsuit against Empire co-creator and Oscar-nominated filmmaker Lee Daniels
