Madonna's divorce turns bitter
Thursday 16 October 2008
After keeping us guessing about the state of their marriage for months, Madonna and Guy Ritchie's plans for a divorce are finally out in the open - and the split looks like it won't be amicable.
The Queen of Pop has already begun proceedings against her estranged husband and is said to have branded him tight and unsupportive of her career.
Madge told pals that she is separating from Guy after more than seven years because he refused to contribute to their luxurious lifestyle and sponged off her massive wealth. The 50-year-old also claimed that he failed to support her in adopting another child.
Allegedly Team Guy hit back by calling Madonna a control freak and mocking her obsession with "weird religion" Kabbalah.
Legal experts estimate that Ritchie could be entitled to half of Madonna's £300million fortune, but the 40-year-old, who is worth £30million himself, has told lawyers that he wants "not one penny".
Why do we get the feeling this one's going to drag on forever? *Sighs*
