Rumor: Madonna furious over crew members gossiping about her son

Madonna is reportedly furious at crew members on the set of her husband, director Guy Ritchie‘s new film. According to reports, when asked the name of the couple’s son David, 22 months, a crew member answered, ‘Lucky B—–d,’ which Madonna overheard. A source told Britain’s Daily Mirror:

Madonna looked astonished by what was said and words were exchanged between them. She seemed very protective of her son and didn’t want anyone talking of him in such a manner. She looked really hurt and shocked by the comment and told the girl exactly what she thought of her.

Apparently, the woman has since been fired from the movie set by Guy himself, as he wanted to show his support for his wife and son.

Madonna’s rep had no comment on the situation.

good for Guy, firing that crew member was the right thing to do! I can’t believe someone would speak that way about a innocent little boy. Yes, he is lucky, but so are LOTS of kids. Biological and adopted! Rich and not so rich. I don’t blame them one bit for being upset!

Good for Madge on giving that girl a piece of her mind. And good for Guy for firing her butt. It wasn’t David’s choice to be adopted by the Ritchies. He was fortunate enough that his parents are who they are. He’s not unlike any other child born or adopted into a well off household.

Good for Guy and Madonna, what she said was rude and uncalled for. Yes, David is a lucky boy, but he’s a child who was rescued from poverty and starvation, not a kid picked out of a lottery.

I find this hard to believe. Everyone knows her son’s name is David, especially people on the set of her movie.

knowing Guy’s sense of humour (and British sense of humour in general) I would say that it wasn’t mean-spirited. I’ve used the b, c, and f words as affectionate terms, only when it’s on the internet I have to make sure to add a smiley so it won’t offend anyone.

but then again, I wasn’t there and the Ritchies have gotten a lot of criticism over David’s adoption, and are probably sensitive to something like that.

Honestly, I don’t understand this. What did the woman do wrong? I assume it’s the word bastard that has gotten her fired? Apparently, Madonna doesn’t know much about youth language. The word bastard has long been in use as a rather positive thing (among teenagers and young adults). It was put to use because the older generation saw it as something negative and a curse word. It has rather a positive connotation amongst young people. Anyone can look this up (“lucky bastard” I mean) on the numerous dictionaries on youth language or read about it in scientific journals.
On another note: I do not intend to spark a discussion on whether or not firing that girl was justified. She and her husband did what seemed right to them and I respect that.
I just wanted to point out, that the woman probably didn’t mean anything by saying this and most certainly did not intend to be insulting and rude.

Technically he’s not a ‘bastard’ meaning his parents aren’t married. I’m 100% sure the worker who said this wasn’t trying to sounds innocent – they were being malicious.
