It's hard to know both sides of the story in situations like these
======================================

I agree. The only ones who know the real story are the family members. Madonna may have a ton of money, but if the drug rumors about him are true, she has every right to refuse to support his habit. It would break my heart if a relative of mine were homeless and hungry, and I'm sure she feels the same way (the way we all would)
so it begs the question, "what is HIS role in all of this?"

ps: Madonna's work ethic is the one thing I don't hate about her. She's an insatiable attention whore by birth, and mean as hell, but she put a lot of effort into being mediocre at everything but self-promotion.

HEH. This is the most concise, spot-on description of Madge I've ever read. She can't sing, she's an awkward dancer, a terrible writer and interview subject, and an awful, wooden actress. Apparently now she's also a untalented director of vanity projects.

Her facelifts are starting to make her almost as scary as those veiny, wrinkly arms she insists on showing off all the time. Yecch. You old, girl. Live with it and buy some long-sleeved dresses.

Being a relative of a rich and famous person I can tell you it can be a lonely place to be that few will ever understand or see. You think you know how rich these people are, you think you know what they do in their free time, you think you know how they treat people but you don't and you are lucky because of it. The problem is it takes a long time to realize and usually quite a bit of therapy and love. It can be so hurtful. A very hurtful and sad place to be. And no one understands they just think you're being a spoiled asshole. I don't know his situation exactly but I know that having a famous relative sucks, if they're an asshole. If they are kind I am sure it's probably pretty cool but anyway it's just a weird sort of purgatory to be in and one can easily get lost in it.

Kissing Ass and Cupping Balls. You're Welcome.

Ponchicks- I have a brother like that too- if either of us need to borrow money there's no questions asked and I am or he is paid back even if one of us forgets that the other lent the other money and it's not because we're rich or anything we just would do anything for each other and money never matters more than that- and yes we do fight sometimes too but like you said not for a day or two. If I was rich I would give him as much money as he ever needed or wanted no strings attached. I don't know what's up with "it's" situation though. Maybe a tell all book to follow lol

Kissing Ass and Cupping Balls. You're Welcome.

Let me call him a Whaaaaaambulance. If you're identity is "my sister is famous," you're fucked my friend. get your own life. Kinda reminds me of Sean Stewart: "oh my life is so hard because I'm Rod Stewart's kid." Bitch, please.

Also, it's hilarious about how defensive people are about Madonna having "earned" all that money. Let's be real - home trick fucked herself with a Pepsi can in front of a burning cross for her sensational fortunez. Let's not pretend anything she's ever done is actual "work" - especially not for her. Being an attention whore is the air she breathes, and she'd be a saggy, wrinkled stripper with 95% of her body covered in tatoos and piercings right now if she'd never become famous.

Ricki, once again you speak what I am thinking. She'd be a truck stop lot lizard without all that whoreability.

He might have a drug, alcohol, gambling problem? Maybe Madonna has tried to help him out with money in the past and was sick of him pissing it all away instead of using it to better himself?

Anyhoo, her face is starting to look like Priscilla Presley. Warped! She should yell at her plastic surgeon.

The man has to grow up, nut up, and STFU.

There isn't a rule that just because one relative has money, that they have to support the rest of the family.

I am sure he has probably squandered any and all opportunities given to him by his family and that includes Madonna.

He has chosen this life. He is alone responsible for where he is today. If he is an addict he chose to be an addict. If he is an alcoholic, he chose that path as well.If he is homeless it is because it is the consequences of his OWN actions. I am tired of hearing the whining and the victimization these type of people go on about. Yea, poor lil me, my sister is worth a lot of money and here I am homeless.....what he won't tell you, is that she probably did try to help him, she probably did spend thousands and thousands of dollars to get him help, to get him on a straight pathway, but HE chose the easier path. He thought the gravy train would never end, and probably lived that way, for a long time, until Madonna had enough. His whole family just had enough. Sometimes enough is just enough.

I have seen and witnessed these types of people, first hand. They will manipulate you and use guilt to get what they want. It is never enough, until they literally bleed you dry, emotionally, physically, and financially. When you no longer are capable of giving into them, and cut them off, then YOU are the one they blame for all their failures, and they never EVER take responsibility for any of their decisions, themselves.

I warned my own kids, you get mixed up with drugs, alcohol or end up in jail. DO NOT CALL ME. Heartless? I don't give a fuck. But I haven't had one child involved with any of it. They know...I won't put up with it. I have zero tolerance, for this "victimization" shit. I've taught them for every action, there are consequences. good or bad...so chose well.

I dunno. I agree that it's not her "responsibility," and that she doesn't HAVE to do anything. He clearly has mega issues, being fired by his dad, abandoned by his entire family, etc. However, I would think that with her kind of money, you'd at least shell out $500/mth for rent so he doesn't end up having his feet amputated from living outside through a Michigan Winter. It's not like she'd have to associate with him, or ever miss the money at all. It does seem a little heartless, and I am always the first one to say "family don't mean shit, cut them out if necessary."

Unless he did something truly heinous, like molest Lourdes or something as someone else suggested. In which case I can totally see her not having anything to do with him. But, since we all know Madonna is a notoriously fickle and demanding hagfish, I'm guessing their beef is decidedly less sensational and extreme. He probably forgot to take his shoes off before entering her home one time, and for that she feels he must pay with his feet.

Madonna doesn't owe him or any of her other brother's a fuckin' cent. She earned that money!

Don't let people play the blood card. Fuck that blood is thicker than water bullshit. The hardest part of breaking the cycle of abuse is when the abuser looks like you. If he cannot get a damn job, then he can sleep on the streets. I am sure his family has helped him so much that they have now given up hope.

I can't fault Madge on this. Her brother needs to stop bitchin and get to workin! Who cares if madge is your sister?

TEAM RELATIVES NEED TO STOP LOOKING FOR A HANDOUT.

Is she a cold, selfish bitch who dumps people out of her life? Hell, ya. But you know what, she worked her ass off to earn every penny of that fortune and it's hers to hoard however she chooses.

Does she have puffy pastry face? Yep, totally, but I have to say I think she looks good here. The soft curls and honey coloured hair works to tone down the harshness of her boy-eating look.

The brother in Truth or Dare was Marty. This guy's name is Anthony. So now she has an alcoholic brother (Marty), a homeless brother (Anthony) and a gay brother who wrote a tell-all book about her (Christopher). So I'm guessing there aren't too many brothers left who she talks to.

The evil in Madge really comes through in these pictures... Bitch would have made a great evil queen if only she could act.

If you remember, Mariah Carey did the same thing with her druggy sister as well.

Wasn't he the fuck up brother that Madonna locked out of her hotel room in the Truth or Dare movie? He was a druggy and an ass. I am sure Madonna doesn't tolerate his bullshit.

Sorry, but if Madonna was my sister I would have no problem kissing her ass 24/7.

I agree Dirk Diggler.

I don't want to defend Madge's puff pastry face or anything, but it's easy to figure out what happened with some of her siblings. They probably figured they could rely on Madge indefinitely for financial support. After all, she's a multimillionaire... So, instead of trying to establish themselves professionally in whatever capacity, they chose to party hard without much thinking about tomorrow.

There was a major flaw in their plan though: Madge's notoriously cheap ass and acute business sense... She soon realized that her brothers would always be a long-term liability and decided to cut them off. She just dumped them like she dumps anybody in her life that has stopped to serve any of HER purposes...

Considering this guy has six siblings, and none of them obviously want to help him and considering his own Dad fired him from the family winery business, I think it's pretty obvious, this dude has other issues. And who knows. Maybe he tried to do harm to Madonna's kids or to her or to the father. We don't know the whole story. I don't blame her for not wanting to throw away money, if he's a drug addict. I think Madonna would help him if there was some useful form of help that anyone could provide. But the guy probably hasn't hit true rock bottom yet.

With Madonna's pocket change, the least she can do is get him whatever professional help he needs.

Also, she can use her spare change to get him a place to live.

I agree with the posters that she will help him out just for the "good publicity."

That was, um -- interesting. I don't think it takes having a drug addict sibling for a person to not want to end up a useless crackie.

If I was going to try to psychoanalyze, I'd say that Madonna might look at this brother and think, I didn't bring his ass into the world; it's not my responsibility to feed, shelter, clothe this grown ass man.
------------------------------------------------

Thank you! Look, WTF do I know right. I'm just pontificating (if that's the word I want). Course none of us wasn't to end up homeless. 'There but for the grace of god go I' becomes a little more real if you are running from the same demons. She doesn't have to help him. I'm just pondering the reasons why she may not want to. As long as she can live with herself, thats all she needs to worry about I guess.

It a well known fact Madge broke of pretty much all contact with most of her brothers and sisters. One of her sisters also sold her out in the 80's (the one next to Madonna on the picture). Something smells fishy here, here father seems like a decent man so for him to fire his own son is a big deal. I bet he's a crackhead or something.

where is it written that adult siblings are supposed to financially support their other adult siblings?

...and yeah, madonna is a bitch...

That interview is from 1995. I had read (not sure if it's true) that she cut everyone out who didn't follow her into Kabbalah. I've also heard that Madonna's dad and stepmother are horrible.

ITA, clairey claire

There's a pretty big difference between helping out a sibling, and enabling a crackhead fuck-up, if that’s what this dude is.

I have no love for Madge, but have seen more than my share of asshole family members and crackheads alike.

Sounds like the job at Daddy's winery was the last burnt bridge in a long line of squandered opportunities.

But what the fuck do I know? Most of the sibling relationships I observe are deeply fucked-up.

IDK, in my opinion, people who have to play the blood card either treated their siblings horribly in the past or never bothered to bond with them. Otherwise, they'd already be friends, too, and not have to play the blood card. Nobody owes anyone anything just because they came out of the same uterus.

My sister and DH's brother are both lazy assholes who do not want to work. Living off our parents. They have done horrible, horrible things to DH and me. They're the spoiled little babies of the family, so did anyone lecture them about blood and family when they were screwing us over? No, appeasement is the name of the game. When our parents are gone, we are not helping them and we are not sorry and fuck anyone who has a problem with it. You like them? Bring their toxic shit into your home. Because my sister threatened to kill any children we have, so she will never be welcome in my home. Ever.

Oh wow, it's so sad to hear that there are so many of you who do not get along with your siblings and family altogether! I can never understand how that can happen. But then again I am very lucky to have a family that will go through fire for each other. Having had a difficult childhood it has only brought us all closer. Even now, that we are all adults we still help each other out with no if's or but's. We even share a bank account, no questions asked, as we trust each other. Money has never come before us. Even when we argue it only ever lasts for a day or less and we are then back to being normal. I am immensely grateful for that.

Vadge - who is a hideous horny old hag - now looks like Billie Burke as Glinda in the Wizard of Oz.

Billie was about 70 at the time......

We don't know any men (aka "str8 guys") who would 'do' Vadge unless they were paid to do so.

This often seems to be the case with very very ambitious workaholic people- they have a drug addict fuck up sibling. Gordon Ramsay has one too. I'm sure many many more. Ramsay has spoken about his traumatic childhood, but where his brother blocked out his issues with drink and drugs, Gordon's compulsions were exercise and physical fitness (becoming a pro-footballer) and later food and his business empire. He lost himself in work. The results are diametrically opposed but the process are both responses to similar trauma caused by their effed up family. Sounds similar to Madonna.

Someone that ambitious, that dedicated and work obsessed will rarely have sympathy with anybody who doesn't live up to their standards, who hasn't dealt with their trauma in a more productive way. In my opinion, they also distance themselves because they don't like the mirror of themselves, the alter ego, what could have easily been them. We often hate what we fear, and nothing is more fearful to the ambitious successful person that their demons could cause them to lose everything they have worked for.

If he's the same brother who called her a slut to the media all through the 80s and 90s and then got thrown in jail for something and whined publicly that she didn't bali him out, then he gets what he gets. He knew he was burning that bridge long ago, but he did it anyway.

Well you know the saying, you can't choose you're family. But i don't understand siblings not getting along, i mean you spend your entire life growing up together and then when you reach adulthood you end up hating each other.
___________________________________

I totally get it. In my case, it certainly involved money. I grew up in a LARGE family, and worked my ass off to pay for college. I understood my parents weren't able to help me financially with school. They did a lot for 3 of my helpless fucking siblings. What really sucked was that after my mother died, she was almost 100k in credit card debt, helping those same useless children well into adulthood. I haven't spoken to those 3 in over 6 years, and if I never see their pitiful asses again, it will be too soon.

I mean my mum and her sister had a huge fight (not physical) years ago and they didnt speak for over 8 years, it was just awkward at family gathering, but now they have reconciled.

but having said that, i dunno, if i was in madonna's situation i would probably help, but nobody knows the full story here.

it seems like showbiz families are effed up, considering madonna's other brother, christopher, was peddling that story about her sexy times, i dont think i would be happy if my siblings sold stories about me getting sexy times either.

Submitted by Spoiled on Sun, 10/23/2011 - 3:18pm.

Actually, that was her brother Christopher. But Madonna has been estranged from her whole family (Martin, Anthony, Paula, Christopher, and Melanie) for years.

==========

She used to be close to Christopher till he threw her under the bus, but she's still close to Melanie - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10PgltezbpE&feature=player_detailpage#t=2... She probably has the most in common with Melanie cause she's involved in the music industry and is married to singer-songwriter/producer Joe Henry who has worked with Madonna several times.

While we're at vintage pics, look at this - http://madonnashots.com/child6.jpg A little known fact about her is she had a big birthmark-type mole removed as a baby, you can still see the scar.

I'm sure he's leaving out a big, important chunk of the story.

It annoys me when someone thinks they are entitled to money because their sibling is famous. Fuck that. She's the one who worked to get where she is. She owes him nothing.

----

I agree. She can offer him support, however. Like let him shower at her place so that he can go find work on his own. Just because my granddad has money, doesn't mean he's supposed to share it with me. I have debts and bills, but I don't rely on others to help me. Even if we have no family feuds and issues and get along pretty great.

I saw the lottery mentioned. If I was to hit the Powerball my siblings shouldn't expect a dime.

I'd probably offer them $20K each a year as that's the max you can gift someone under current tax laws without incurring extra tax for yourself.

Besides, none of them would give me a penny... they are already working over all the old relatives with wills hoping for a payout. I ain't kissing no old asses hoping for a possible maybe payout that turns out to be having to pay for their funeral after the rest of the vultures clean out the estate. I make my own green, thanks.

You are one lucky gorilla. I always envy families where the siblings are totally close and cool with each other. Most siblings I know are either rivals or straight out despise each other. My sister is really competitive with me, though I don't try to compete with her. We have a good relationship now but it takes work.

Your families take the whole bag of cake. I can only imagine what it must have felt like to be abandoned in your hour of need by those who are supposed to be the closest to you. I won't wish harm upon anyone, but a little visit from the ghost of Christmas Past would seem good for their characters.

Actually, that was her younger brother, Christopher.

Here's the family, back when they were "together" in 1986:

Well you can choose your friends but you can't choose your family.

Anyway, normally I'd like to beat up on Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone just for the fun of it, but my memory is still fresh from when her brother tried to sell that story about her giving blowjobs to bodyguards under the table or something...

Well its obvious they never had a good relationship to start with, and some families are just like that.

But showbiz families seem to be the worst, look at Joe Jackson selling his dvds after MJ died, or Joe Simpson peddling Jessica's pregnant story.

its the same brother who sold her out in his book but has been battling serious addictions for a very long time. she got him work, even sent him to fully paid rehab several times only to have him scander it all away and sell her out to try to scrape cash together to profit his habits.

the whole family is fucked up 5 ways to wednesday and she did her share and the rest have too if he's gotten pink slipped from the family winery.

he went publc with this shit so he could evoke another enabling stab at Vadge to come pick up the tab on his ass once again.

family are some of the most cold blooded peeps out there. first hand agree on that one. but those fuckers need to get off their ass as there's plenty of siblings in that family to deal with him and it's much more than Vadge writing a check. she's only one who's put her money where her mouth is over and over with him.

age 55 and pulling this crap is just sad, he's a chronic.
