Madonna reveals she contemplated suicide amid custody battle with Guy Ritchie #shorts
You know, there were moments in my life where I wanted to cut my arms off. I wanted I actually contemplated suicide. I And that probably sounds really weird coming from me because I’m not that I’m not emo. What pain at the time pushed you to that place of potentially wanting to take your own life? I went through a custody battle with my son and um I you know even though my marriage didn’t work out, I mean a lot of people’s marriages don’t work out. They marry the wrong people. They’re not aligned. They’re not meant for each other. Um, someone taking trying to take my child away from me was like, um, they might as well just kill me. That’s really how I was thinking.
Madonna reveals she contemplated suicide while she and ex-husband Guy Ritchie were fighting for custody over their son, Rocco, in 2016.
“There were moments in my life [where] I wanted to cut my arms off,” the “Material Girl” singer confessed to Jay Shetty on Monday’s episode of his “On Purpose” podcast.
“I actually contemplated suicide. That probably sounds really weird coming from me because I’m not emo … but I was like, ‘I can’t take this pain anymore.’”

@Madonna @madonna ❤️ ❤️
I can’t see her in there
Great cosmetic surgery job!
I lost my kids too the same way and thank you lord they came back ❤
Spreading the word of the Kabbalah. No thanks.
So now she`s playing a victim card…..Rocco wanted to be with his father, and the child just sensed naturally that there is something off about her.
I get it
Look at me look at me
Take that grill thing out of your mouth Madonna. Please.
Love her ❤
Her boy Rocco didn’t want to live with her. I don’t blame the kid ..
Madonna, or a mother wanting a life with her son: "I contemplated suicide."
Men on the comments: "Her face is strange."
🙄
U see why i dont like u bye
I believe her son Rocco didn't enjoy being around his mother because she was so "strict" and she treat him like some dancer on her tour. He taught his mother a lesson and went to live with his father. It was no custody battle because it was her son who decided not her husband, that he didn't want to live with her. Such a liar.
A reptile by proxy
No! Your ex-husband didn’t try to take your child. Your son wanted to live with his dad. And who can blame him? Madonna is famously a nightmare of selfishness. When your own children don’t want to live with you, maybe change your behaviour, Madonna.
🙄
No one took her child . The child had a choice and he chose to live with his own dad in England.
Yeah I don’t believe a word of that
I’m not emo? What a dumb thing to say
It ended around 1995
I don't understand what "I'm emo" means
