Madonna's Homeless Brother Says His Sister 'Was A ***** Growing Up, Just Like She Is Now'

For the last 18 months, Madonna's brother Anthony Ciccone has been homeless, living on the streets of Traverse City, Mich., and he's furious with his superstar sister for not helping out.

Ciccone told The Daily Mail that even though he and Madonna have never gotten along, he expects her to lend a hand.

"We hated each other -- sibling rivalry, I imagine. She was a *****, just like she is now. She remains true to form. You have to give her credit for consistency."

Ciccone fell on hard times after he lost his job at his father's wine-making business, and says his family seeing him as "a non-person, an embarrassment," adding that if he froze to death they wouldn't know or care.

That's not entirely true, as it seems Madonna has reached out to her brother and has repeatedly offered to pay for him to go to rehab, and according to The Daily Mail, his father Tony has also offered to give him his job back if he gets treatment.

Ciccone has refused the notion of going to rehab, telling the paper he just needs a job. While opening up a bottle of cheap fortified wine, he said, "My family seem to think rehab is some kind of magic panacea for life's ills."

addiction is a sad thing,,,relly too bad

Poor me, poor me, pour me another drink.
He sounds like one who believes he is owed.
He has the makings of a great liberal.

he is being asked to make effort before he receives help

seems fair to me,,,

Solution seems easy to me. Go to rehab.
There is no downside to that.

Says he refuses any rehab, no?
While opening a bottle of fortified wine. Sounds like a bottle of Mad Dog.

.or the fine selection of Boone's Strawberry Hill!

Or maybe it's just BS that one may not have been clever enough to create on their own, but may be just clever enough to spread.

hell yea! create on their own what? Emu's were a great one.

Think so, me too.

Madonna, you are worth a billion? I don't know. Give your brother the house and a little a month. Come on! you will never see it. He needs a place to live, ok, OK!

So, Madonna has an alcoholic brother who is in denial.
This information is newsworthy because why?

"Man's inhumanity to man?", or something.

Human beings

I wouldn't help my brother either if he pulled the same crap and smeared me all over thet net and news programs and in books.

I love the last line in the article...................

Because it's Madonna.

How is she relevant to anything that is important?
