Madonna, the American singer, actress, and business mogul, has once again ignited a social media firestorm with a recent photograph that's been the talk of the town.
The image features Madonna reclining in an armchair, sporting nothing more than the lower half of a black dress and a sheer br@, revealing one of her ni--les.
Published just a few days ago, this photograph has garnered an impressive 900,000 "likes" on Instagram, a platform known for its strict policy against images depicting women's ni--les. The fact that Madonna's photo has remained on the platform for over 24 hours has fueled quite the controversy.
In this captivating shot, captured by photographer Steven Klein, Madonna's trademark blonde tresses frame her face as she clutches a piece of clothing and keeps a black bag close at hand.
Alongside the picture, Madonna included a message that read, "My current wardrobe situation. And for those of you who are offended in any way by this photo, I want to inform you that I have successfully graduated from the University of 'I Care Very Little.' Thank you for coming to my graduation ceremony! Class 2020." This message received enthusiastic applause from numerous users in the comments section, including singer Katy Perry, who humorously quipped, "My God, I just enrolled in that university!"
Italian actress Asia Argento, known for her roles in films like "Scarlet Diva" and "Dracula 3D," expressed her admiration for Madonna and added the caption "Free the Ni--le" to her comment.
However, not all the reactions were supportive. Some users directed critical remarks Madonna's way, stating, "Mismatched underwear – you should be ashamed of yourself at your age," "I'm not offended; you just look like a man dressed as a woman," and "It's somewhat sad to witness a former star who can't recognize when it's time to step back from the public eye."
Madonna's recent endeavors extend beyond her provocative photos. She has also partnered with the REFORM Alliance foundation, aiming to distribute 100,000 masks to individuals within the U.S. prison system, where COVID-19 outbreaks pose an imminent threat due to the frequent entry and exit of security personnel.
