If you've been following Hydrangea-Gate, you might think she's a bit bitchy. Well apparently, it gets worse. According to Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail, Madonna made volunteers at the Toronto International Film Festival turn to look at the wall because she didn?t want them looking at her when she walked past them.
The newspaper reports that although Madonna loudly praised workers at the festival, "?It was a bit of a different story backstage, however, when eight of those volunteers were asked to turn their faces to a wall so that they would not look at the pop-star-turned-movie-director as she made her way to her press conference about the film. One volunteer told the Globe they all dutifully stood with their backs to her as she passed."
Madonna was at the Toronto International Film Festival to promote her new film, W.E., about famous divorc?, the Duchess of Windsor, Wallis Simpson.
The Globe also reports that Madonna has likened herself to the late Simpson, since they were both hounded by fame. Madonna told the Associated Press at the Venice Film Festival, ?I think once you become famous, you have to pretty much relinquish the idea that people are going to see you for who you are, or look beyond the surface of things. I think that was a source of great frustration for Wallis Simpson and for Edward VIII, because after he abdicated, they didn't really have the opportunity to defend themselves."
Madonna, an infamous diva, probably shouldn't complain about the pitfalls of fame and feeling different when she makes people treat her differently. Want to bet on reality TV?
