Josephine Georgiou Blasts Media For Assuming She Was Embarrassed When Madonna Accidentally Pulled Her Top Off At Brisbane Show
The 17-year-old model and Madonna fan Josephine Georgiou has a message for the increasing chorus of news reporters assuming she was filled with shame over an incident where the 57-year-old singer appeared to accidentally pull her top down at a performance in Brisbane, Australia, exposing the teen's breasts--get a life.
"Only I get to decide if I'm humiliated or not," Georgiou told the UK news publication the Courier Mail on Friday. "Why would people assume I am humiliated by my own breast, nipple or body?"
She admits to be completely blindsided by the international attention the incident has received.
"I didn't realize my boob was such a big deal," Georgiou said. "It was nothing to me."
Madonna had brought several people onstage in Brisbane when the incident happened.
"She's the kind of girl you just want to slap, on the ass and pull," Madonna said, before grabbing the top part of Georgiou's outfit.
The star seemed genuinely surprised that the teenager's breasts were exposed.
"Oh shit. I am so sorry, sexual harassment!" Madonna said.
She then pointed to her midsection.
"You can do the same to me," Madonna said. "You want to make my hole big again?"
Several publications, such as Newsweek and England's the Daily Mail have attempted to link the incident to a pattern of erratic behavior and substance abuse on the current tour (which the singer has denied) to an ongoing custody battle with her ex-husband, director Guy Ritchie, over their 15-year-old son Rocco.
But Georgiou, who called her public exposure "the best moment of my life," refuses to be part of that narrative.
"It was the best night," she said. "She was calling me a Victoria's Secret model the whole time I was on stage, which is so flattering."
