Guy Ritchie's Dad Slams Madonna

Madonna and Guy Ritchie's split may have looked ugly, but Guy's dad, John, tells In Touch that filing for divorce last October was a smart move. "The worst thing would be if they reconciled," John says.

"Guy is better off. He's in the States with the children at the moment." John notes that his former daughter-in-law is also moving on just fine. "She's been here with a chap, a friend of hers," he says. "We hope she does have a lot of boyfriends because it means she won't ever get back together with Guy!"

And, despite reports that the exes were fighting over their kids, Rocco, 8, and David, 3, Guy's father says they've worked it out. "There are no big arguments between them. All they discuss is the children," he says. "Guy is generally quite happy with the arrangements, provided the children come to London when he wants them to. If she makes that difficult, he will have to rethink how they are managing custody, but so far she hasn't." Madonna is reportedly dating other men. "Guy doesn't care at all," says his dad. "At least she won't be looking for him."

I understand why the dad said something publicly, not that it was wise, but I imagine for 7 years this was building up inside of him.

spelling and grammar, especially

[arabianway]

I never saw a picture of those two in which he looked as if he LIKED her, never mind LOVED her.

Dear, you need to update your bifocal scripts. He gushed over the woman. It became a running joke even. But don't let facts get in the way of what you WANT to think.

[talk2me]

Who gives a rat's behind about these two anyway??!!!

[kazy]

Then why are you replying on this thread?

[Madison007]

Because he/she is pointing out how ridiculous it is that folks are commenting on this stuff.....

[scottarino]

So he "slammed" her, huh?

[expanse]

Here is a YouTube vid of her singing an Evita song in Houston. She sounds great. Just her, a guitar and her voice. Very good quality.

Yea, right, Madonna has no talent at all, yet somehow has managed to maintain a very successful 20+ year career. I guess that makes her a failure. I get it.

[CowgirlAmy]

Many believe that it is possible to be successful a long time with no talent. They point to Britney Spears as an example but fail to realize she was only very successful for a short time then went 5 years without being very successful. She has had a minor comeback but nothing to suggest longevity.

Madonna has been enormously successful for far too long for it to be about her look, her videos, her style, her reinventions. It's about her talent. Her great music. Period. Madonna has taken enough chances in her career to risk being labeled a fraud. IOW- she has proven herself/her talent beyond reproach.

Madonna has stellar marketing skills.

Both Madonna and Guy Ritchie could learn a lot from taking parenting classes. They are just going about this whole thing the wrong way. In fact, divorced parents make terrible single parents!

I've always loved Guy Ritchie's films, very hip. To all the Madonna haters; you love to hate her but still you can recite the lyrics to nearly all of her songs...

[Madison007]

Music good artist going crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Physicists wonder what would happen when two black holes collide.
Will one swallow the other? Or would they become one giant black hole? Perhaps all the swallowed up contents would be ejected. Or maybe they join and become one giant black hole.

I suspect the answer will be found in a scaled-down model.

Now, if we could persuede the emotional black holes of Madonna, and Michael Jackson to collide, I suspect we will come upon an answer for the universe..... until then, I believe the physicists will just have to wait.

[CowgirlAmy]

I can tell you spent alot of time on that. Let me be the first to say I am sorry.

[XCITIZEN]

Rawkcuf, I loved your comment! Who cares if it's illogical - it was brilliant!

[shengirl]

another huffpost misleading headline. I'd hardly call this "slamming" Madonna. In fact, he was quite conciliatory, even complimentary. You're sounding more and more like supermarket tabloids, huffpost. What's next, "Half human, half cow baby born in Denmark!" with a faked photo of a child with "horns"? If you want to be taken seriously as a news source, act like one. And can whoever it is who doesn't read the articles before sticking a screaming headline above them. Your readers deserve better.

[miamia]

Guy who?
And who?

[NYC123]

Guy Richie's dad, did he mention anything about the marriage settlement? You know, where his son walked away with $100 million dollars, all from the kindness of that horrible ugly American woman!
