Pop icon Madonna has been criticised on social media after she decided to recreate Marilyn Monroe’s death scene.
Pop Icon Madonna Is Criticised Over Recreating Marilyn Monroe’s Death Scene During A Photo Shoot
The photo was done for V Magazine, but with that decision, there were many people who had something to say on the matter. In the picture here, we can see Madonna lying half-naked on a bed.
She is wearing see-through fishnet tights with skyscraper heels and a silk glove on one arm. And around her neck is a crucifix. Naturally, this photo sparked a debate on social media over whether it was appropriate.
Whilst she is known for being so outlandish in her appearance, some still felt that she had crossed the line. In a post on Twitter, one user shared a series of pictures from the photoshoot.
The post was captioned by the following comments: “For some morbid and eerie reason, Madonna decides to re-create Marilyn Monroe’s death bed.
“The black and white photo is actually Marilyn Monroe‘s bedroom where she died.” Given the fact that Marilyn died from a drugs overdose, it is hard to comprehend why Madonna would have done this.
This is particularly true as there were many rumours surrounding the circumstances of her death. Some people allege that she was murdered in order to keep her affair with former US President John Kennedy a secret.
In addition, such a revelation could have been embarrassing given that there were claims that she was seeing the ex-President’s brother Robert F Kennedy, too. Despite the criticism that was coming her way, Madonna had the support of her die-hard fans.
Some viewed it as Madonna simply expressing her artistic nature. One user said: “Madonna will always be an icon just like Marilyn. I’m here for it,” while another remarked: “Difference is great. Her style is Boudoir. Each to their own.
“She empowered women in the 1980s like none other could. Don’t ever forget that. I love her difference.” Regardless of whether you think Madonna was right or not, she will continue to do what she thinks.
And one thing’s for sure, this is something that is not going to change any time soon. Let us know what you think in the comment section down below. Remember to stay up to date with the latest news on TheOvertimer.
