Madonna and her Rebel Heart tour is in the news again after the singer exposed a fan’s breast on stage.
Madonna performed in Brisbane on Thursday evening for her long-running tour, which finally finishes this week, when she invited a fan on stage.
In video footage, the singer is seen next to the young woman telling the crowd: “She’s the kind of girl you just want to slap on the ass and pull…” before tugging on the woman’s top which came down, exposing her breast to the audience.
“Oh sh*t, I am so sorry, sexual harassment, you can do the same to me if you like,” Madonna told the girl.

The Courier Mail reports the woman in question to be 17-year-old Josephine Georgiou who said she had the “best night” up on stage with the singer and shut down suggestions she would sue Madonna.
“Seriously, why would I sue Madonna for the best moment of my life? It was the best night. She was calling me a Victoria’s Secret model the whole time I was on stage, which is so flattering.”
She added that she was surprised how much attention the video clip has received but said she wasn’t embarrassed by it.
“Only I get to decide if I’m humiliated or not - why would people assume I am humiliated by my own breast, nipple or body? I didn’t realise my boob was such a big deal - it was nothing to me.”
Madonna’s six-month tour has been plagued by negative reports surrounding delays and bizarre behaviour on stage. This has been against the backdrop of a widely reported custody battle between herself and ex-husband Guy Ritchie over their 15-year-old son Rocco, who left Madonna’s tour to move to England with his father in December.
