Guy Ritchie: Madonna Is Retarded

[Blue_Tires]

Guy Ritchie still loves Madonna, they do share two sons, but the director recognizes her limitations.

A year after their divorce, Ritchie tells the November issue of Esquire that his ex-wife is "retarded":

"She's a manifester, if there ever was one," he says. "First-rate manifester. Madonna makes things happen. Put Madonna up against any twenty-three-year-old, she'll outwork them, outdance them, outperform them. The woman is broad."
"Broad," I say, repeating the word of the day.

"And, of course, here you go: I still love her," he says. He takes a breath, drives through a red light. If no one is ahead of him, Guy Ritchie does not typically stop. "But she's retarded, too."

It's rocky getting a divorce, innit? I say.

"You can't tell someone when they're getting divorced that their pain is an illusion," he says. "I'm fucking telling you, I feel it, I've been through that. You have, too. No one can say you don't feel that."

1. I'm sure she's been up against quite a few 23 year olds

to earn that title. (broad not retarded)

[dembotoz]

2. seems she was bright enough to dump him

[mitchum]

3. Despite his privileged background, Ritchie is just a yob

[Bunny]

4. What a knob.

[Enrique]

5. that whole interview is retarded n/t

[MajorChode]

6. He's just now figuring that out?

[tigereye]

7. lord I hate when people use that term...

it's kind of offensive on a number of levels. You'd think he could have thought of a better term to use - she's a really complex woman.

[Demoiselle]

8. "Retarded?" So Guy is actually a 12 year old American girl?

...From the '50's? Hell, I haven't even heard a 12 year old girl use that term in 30 years!
And he doesn't stop for red lights.
Lovely.

16. Think this through. How much credit do you put in the words of a man who married a "retarded" woman?

The use of "retarded" a pejorative is a sign of immaturity, but it's not the only one.

20. I don't think it's a stretch to say she's complex - for good or ill

I suspect she's a pain in the ass to deal with, though. And "retarded" is never a kind way to put pretty much anything.

9. was this guy anybody before he married her?

sorry, i have a few contemporary cultural blind spots. 99.9% of celebs are below my radar.

[supernova]

10. He directs schlocky Brit movies

[Shell Beau]

24. He's a director. But she definitely made him more known for sure.

He wasn't a nobody though. But marrying Madonna will put anyone on the map.

[CreekDog]

11. He doesn't strike me as a genius either

:rofl:

[edbermac]

12. She's practically a billionaire, Ace.

You should only have her brains.

[Coventina]

14. I don't listen to criticism coming from those who don't stop for red lights.

I've just lost any respect I may have had for Guy Ritchie.


:thumbsdown:

15. Actually it looks like "pot, kettle, black" is the word of the day.

Good God, what a couple of self-involved twits.

[elshiva]

18. Please, Ritchie, stop calling her "retarded" when

you mean "out of touch" or "stupid." Fucking hate when people use "retarded" that way. It's as bad as "that's so gay." :banghead: :banghead:

[lightningandsnow]

19. +1

[nytemare]

22. It seems like "in denial" would be a more appropriate term.

[Taverner]

23. +2

[begin_within]

21. He routinely drives through red lights and yet calls her retarted?

Pot, meet kettle.

[Shell Beau]

25. He's bitter. Divorce does that to people. I can't

imagine going through a divorce with someone like Madonna. But his use of the word retarded is gross.
