Madonna’s brother Christopher Ciccone was on Good Morning America this morning to promote his new unauthorized biography of the pop star called Life with My Sister Madonna
Says he doesn’t think Madonna cheated with A-Rod
Deborah Roberts: “Do you think your sister came between [Alex and Cynthia Rodriguez]?”
Chris: “I think it’s highly unlikely…
“First of all, despite everything else she’s still a Catholic girl, and I don’t think – Although, he is kind of her type so it’s difficult to say.”
DR: “So what happened between her and Alex Rodriguez, do you think?
CC: “I think that he was interested in Kabbalah, to be honest, and I don’t think… I know Alex from Miami, we’ve met a number of times. I doubt this is actually an affair.”
Not very many brothers find themselves wiping their sister’s naked body.
Then Christopher talked about how he used to be super close and live with Madonna and it was kind of creepy. He said that “it was like a marriage,” and that he used to even dress her when she was touring.
“Not very many brothers find themselves on their knees, in their sister’s dressing room, wiping sweat off of her naked body. It was an odd situation. I couldn’t really tell my friends, but I wanted to be there for her.”
He said they were living in the same house after Madonna and that they used to run together and “We had our sourdough toast together. We had our coffee together. We were very close. It was a bit like a marriage.”
Guy Ritchie came between us. I wasn’t about to sleep with her.
When asked what happened to their relationship, he said “Guy Ritchie pretty much happened to our relationship, for the most part…
“The best way to get to my sister is to get in bed with her. Since I wasn’t doing that – I wasn’t about to. The last person to speak to her at night has the most influence. We both couldn’t exist in the same hemisphere.. not to mention his issues with homosexuality.”
Christopher said Guy Ritchie has problems with gay people and with him, and that his friends made rude references to gay people in their toasts at his wedding to Madonna.
He said that the book is not an attempt to get revenge at anyone. He also claims Madonna is likely to hold on to her relationship with Guy and she’s not one to walk away.
Kaballah validated my sister’s bad behavior, she uses it like a weapon
Chris said he’s no longer a follower of Kabbalah but that he did follow it for a while. He said he was “blackmailed” into it, because Madonna owed him a payment on a house he designed for it, and that she said she would only pay him if he went to a Kabbalah class. He said it did find it helpful at the time and he needed to “take another look at myself.”
DR: “Has Kabbalah made your sister a better person?”
CC: “I suppose on some levels. Kabbalah in many ways has validated some of her bad behavior. Now it’s her way or no one’s way because she’s got God on her side… she has a tendency to use it like a weapon. I think that’s not what they quite intended.”
DR: “Are you saying she’s controlling and she uses Kabbalah to help her control?”
CC: “Controlling is a perfect word for it, and right now, in her life, there are three things she can’t control. She’s turning 50, her husband, and me and this book. That’s enough for anything who lives that kind of choreographed mythological life.”
Good Morning America will have more with Christopher Ciccone tomorrow including details of their childhood. Given all the dirt he’s dishing this book sounds pretty good. It’s also rather telling that he’s acting like Madonna was more to him than just his sister. He said he couldn’t tell his friends about their relationship and that it was “like a marriage.” He definitely has an axe to grind and is acting like a jilted lover.
