Sean Penn is speaking out against old rumors that he assaulted Madonna during their marriage. He calls the singer 'someone I love.'
Sean Penn is setting the record straight. The actor was married to Madonna from 1985 to 1989, and for years, there have been rumors that he was physically abusive toward her. In recent years, both he and Madonna have denied those allegations, but now Penn is sharing more about a heated moment in the former couple's marriage. 'I had a freaking SWAT team come into my house,' he told the New York Times when asked about the truth behind the fight rumors.
said, ‘I’m not coming out. I’m going to finish my breakfast,'' he remembered. 'The next thing I knew, windows were being broken all around the house, and they came in.' He added, 'They had me in handcuffs.' The 'Mystic River' star said that later he heard reports that he 'trussed her up like a turkey.' He said, 'I didn’t know what ‘trussed up’ meant, first.
Although it has been 35 years since the two called it quits, Penn now refers to Madonna as 'someone I love,' noting, 'It turns out it’s a lot quicker to repair a friendship after divorce if there are not kids involved.' In 2015, Madonna commented on the rumors about her marriage to Penn in an affidavit for a lawsuit Penn filed against Lee Daniels.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Daniels discussed the backlash against actor Terrenace Howard after he admitted to physically abusing his wife. In an offhanded remark, Daniels said that Howard 'ain’t done nothing different than Marlon Brando or Sean Penn,' which led to Penn filing a $10 million defamation suit against him, per Variety.
