I just started reading the book written by Madonna's brother. I only had a few minutes during breaks at work today, but it's REALLY volatile. Some of that dirt is just your given diva crap; evian water served at a specific temperature, dressing rooms must be painted white... but some of the stuff her brother says is just downright wrong. He's an asshole!
I borrowed the audiobook edition of Christopher Ciccone's book from the library, lol. It was good to experience once but I didn't think I'd want to go back to it or own the book.
I think his relationship with her is...complicated. He talks about the demeaning ways (allegedly) in which she treated him. He's had struggles with addiction and stuff. He might be the sibling of hers that's been most "at her side" throughout her career, though, criss-crossing into her professional stuff - you can see him dancing beside her in the "Lucky Star" video, surfacing in "Truth or Dare" video (and part of the staff on that tour, "Girlie Show" tour later), etc. I'm not sure if her "employing" of him was out of kindness, convenient/practical nepotism or a favor, or (if you'd believe him) sadistic pleasure in being his income provider.
Or as one Youtube commenter wrote, "madonna is the original backstabber dont kid yourself. this book is karma. we all create our life outcome."
LOL at the re-enactments:
