TMZ is trying to stir shit and I don't even like that some people expect everyone to stand up when many people start to stand up.

You’ve got your money from ticket sales, merch etc. If someone wants to fucking sit down then leave them be. Clearly they’re there to support you. Ugh ableism frustrates me so damn much. Even if she wasn’t in a wheelchair ailments aren’t always obvious or maybe someone did want to sit. They bought a seat for a reason.

It’s not just her making the original comment, but it was her little offhand, “politically incorrect” remark with the so-called apology that made it so much crappier and disingenuous.

That was my thought as well. It’s one thing to say something insensitive unintentionally, but to not acknowledge how insensitive it was and be like “oops, lol” feels more insulting. I would have been mortified if I made that type of gaff and apologized profusely.

The original call-out was shitty, but I feel like a big apology would have made things more awkward/embarrassing.

It wouldn’t have! Hope that clears that up for you.

Madonna’s an ass but I’m glad the fan looks at the experience positively and I hope they had a great time <3
