I may not like Madonna but she doesn’t owe her brother a living. Democrats….they don’t want to make it own their own but they sure want to take it away from anyone that has it….This is still America….He can get off is ass and go earn a living!

So are people to assume that just because someone is a relative of a celeb, they automatically live the good life too? I have a feeling there’s alot more to his history and the real reason why he’s in the situation he is.

regardless what the situation is…you don’t turn your back on family…ESPECIALLY siblings

I don’t agree with that. You can ony do so much for someone before you realize that they are just using you and you need to cut ties. I don’t know that this happened here, but again I think there’s more to this story. Didn’t one of her other brothers write a tell-all book about her that totally ripped her apart?

I am sure at some time she aided her brother. But there comes a time when enough is enough. I had to finally turn my brother away and it made me very sad. But my 3 kids had to come first.

I agree. Charity start at home.

oh ok what do democrats got to do with Madonna’s brother?

what the HELLDOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH DEMOCRATS YOU PUGH asssss REPUBLICAN

How can you be sure of that? There really are some people in the world who don’t really care about others, including their family. I can’t understand how anyone who has the kind of money that Madonna has letting someone in their family live on the street. I’m not meaning she should be spending a fortune on her brother but there is a big difference in supporting a person to live the good life, then helping someone get off the street. Personally I think this just enforces how ungrateful Madonna is, She’s showed her true colors in the past and this is no different.

Is this the same brother that wrote a book about Madonna? That Christopher? That book didn’t reveal anything new about Madonna, not really. I wonder if the gay community noticed one thing though. S’he didn’t have time for her brother who was gay, when she was about to marry her homophobe husband. Guy Ritchie who almost mowed her brother down in a driveway. Changing the subject slightly….My sister had money. I didn’t expect her to give me handouts when I had problems, but she did away. She would not abandon me because she loved me so much. She would have given me the shirt off her back if I needed it. She died, and now I’m reaping the benefits of her labor. That’s what she would have wanted me to do.I asked one of her friends about that. But, I don’t want money, I want my sister back. even though that’s impossible. I sitting here crying She had time to get her estate together. She helped everybody in the family (5 sisters). If her sibling was using drugs, or being physically dangerous to others there would not be much she could do. But, if her brother is just broke, and unable to find a job in this bad economy, I would help him find a job. And, I would give him seed money to help him til he got back on track. I would not let my sister, or brother walk the streets and not help. Does she want her brother to be one of those people on the milk cartons? I just can’t understand her behavior at all. Not work at his father’s vineyard? Is that because Madonna hates hime now, and wants the other people in the family do the same, or esle? I am glad Madonna is NOT my sister (barf).

Democrats? Maybe you’re reading a different article than everyone else. This is about Madonna, not politics. You’ve just made a complete ass out of yourself. Hang your head in shame!

Yes because Madonna is surely hurting and can’t spare a dime. Poor multimillionaire Madonna living in her mansions is unable to get her brother an apartment. You should think before you type.

The article clearly states that Anthony is the homeless brother. He did not write any book about her or anything else.

Madonna is an awful person. Look how rude she was to her fan that gave her flowers. I don’t listen to or support her in any way.

@Regina1180 – Yes, it seems like there was a sibling who wrote a pretty nasty book. It seems like she tried to get it stopped. Not sure if she did or not.

I agree with you AND MissZee. While I understand you should not turn your back on your siblings the siblings should not be using you. My point is that we don’t know the whole story or why Madonna nor any other family member is helping him. I have siblings who I have tried to help in the past (I’m one of nine children) and they just turned around and used the money I gave them for food for drugs or alcohol. I’ve had sisters ask for money to feed their kids and then let the kids starve while they went off and bought Pot. (After that I started buying the groceries and taking it to them so the kids could eat)

The person you are helping has to really want the help — not a hand-out.

Hmmm…I had not heard that.

Madonna could hire someone to help him!

I don’t get along with my brother and we don’t even speak anymore, but if he was homeless or needed a kidney, I’d be there. 100%. I doubt we would be friends, but I would help.

There is nothing like not having a place to stay at night that is permanent. I wonder if Madonna even remembers being broke because she’s been a success for almost 30 years. I hope this works out for both of them.

Madonna’s brother for 1, sold her out to the tabloids, dissed her ex-husband, and apparently was a drug addict. Now I’m no psychic but if I were to put two and two together I’d guess Madonna’s brother was dismissed from his job for…Oh I don’t know, STEALING!
Madonna was helping her brother financially for many years and at one time he even worked for her, so I believe the real story boils down to Distrust, Betrayal, and some deceit. At the end of the day, no ones going to continue to help someone who’s stabbed you in your back, sold you out, and whose stolen from you, no family is that tight. And let’s not forget that Madonna has children now, and they shouldn’t be subjected to a laying, no good, thief.

this is not the brother who wrote the book….idiot

Really, and as I remember, he has sold out his sister a number of times. I ‘had’ a brother. He probably still is alive, I really do not know. The thing is, there are ‘BAD SEEDS’ and MY Brother was one. He was/is a true sociopath, in and out of jail, threatened to kill us… I was afraid of him my entire life when I was growing up. No, if he came back into my life, I would not help him. My fear would be back. I do not know what AC did to his sister, his father, but he tried, without success, to ride Madonna’s wave of success, and I believe would sell stories on her. We do not know what was going on behind the scenes. Okay, his father fired him. Maybe he felt like the ‘entitled’ son and did nothing. The thing is, even if unemployment is high in Michigan, there are still jobs… and jobs elsewhere in the country. did he even try???? Or would he not ‘lower’ himself for some jobs? (reminds me of the ‘sister wives’ on TLC screaming there are no jobs in Vegas. Duh-Nevada has the highest unemployment rate-BUT there are jobs-you have to think outside the box sometimes, and sometimes, work at things you never have before. With the SW-not one of the 5 HAVE A JOB! That I can’t believe, esp. when you go to snagajob.com and see there are jobs, just maybe not in your ‘$$$$’ thoughts or your ‘title’ idea. Which makes me think that AC is like this. I am Madonna’s brother, I will not work at 7-11 !!!!!!)

Do you live in her house with her and know all her intimate details? Or did you read the DREADED tabloids???

This is probably the most stupid thing I ever read.

From what I understand, this brother (Anthony) has been in and out of rehab (paid for by Madonna) for over 20 years. She finally decided to cut him out of her life. Some people just cannot be helped. Apparently, Madonna’s brothers have both been cut off but she is still very close to her sisters.

Also, note please that Anthony was FIRED by his FATHER!! Surely that must mean something, right? All is not roses and sunshine in that family so don’t just blame Madonna for not giving handouts to her brother.

Learn how to spell, dumbass, then maybe your silly ad hominem rant will actually be understandable.

What the fuck is a “PUGH asssssssss” exactly?

how about learning how to write before you start dissing someone

I can’t really judge Madonna on this. In my opinion, I think that there has to be much more to the story than what we are getting here folks. I for one, would like to hear both sides of the story before I decide to throw somebody under the bus.

sungguh sebuah ironi…. sang kakak bergelimang harta dan ke populeran, sedang sang adik di biarkan menggelandang di jalanan….kemanakah perginya hati nurani…????

I liked the message from W.E. which was something to the affect of “happiness lies in your own hands” or “your the creator of your own destiny”, has Madonna considered translating that to one of the 13 languages spoken in Somalia, putting that powerful message on a banner and flying it across the countryside where masses of populations of people are still starving with AIDZ? It could be costly however since MILLIONS of charity money obviously donated by your “fans” or supporters is gone as your staff or “friends” spent it on luxury for themselves, but your worth it. Just imagine all those dying people with no food reading your words of divine wisdom with flies in their eyes and your promoter sending out a message which “hopefully”, Madonna will inspire countless numbers of the done in either Somalia and Congo to think about their own future in success. After your finished with that launch a televised version for the dying or incapacitated in America’s hospitals, its certain those with severe mental retardation could become excited if you sing the meaning of that message at just the right pitch. God, your a special little lady and such a wise person. Best of luck with the new film and the people your hiring to make you look “good” in public.

I agree with you Annie. Regardless of your relationship with your brother you just can’t leave him to die in the streets. It occurs to me he could be a helpless whatever (drug addict, alcoholic, who knows) and this is why the family turned their back on him? Well ok, a woman with that kind of money could spare a few bucks to get him help. She keeps bragging of being such a giver going to Africa and what not. help your brother!

I like to say that if Maddonna does not care for her brother I am willing to help him ,he needs help not only him but millions of people that are homeless at this moment , let him know that I am willing to help him ok.
lawyeralexis@live.com email me of his vcase ok love Alexis Echevarria.

You seem to know madonna intimately. Who sold her out to the tabloids? Where is this “selling out” stuff come into the picture? madonna hasn’t been “sold out’. Sold out for what? She does not love unconditionally. Her brother that wrote the book describes what he was forced to do whenever she gave him anything. Like being a kabbalist. It’s in his book. Madonna is toxic. I think that this homeless brother is a grown man who has the will to get back on the road and find work, etc. Madonna doesn’t have to do anything. If I had money, though, I personally would help my sibling…no matter what it took. Maybe money isn’t the answer. I am sure she could help him get a job somehow. I just don’t like madonna at all. She is mean. She forces her way of life onto others. She has a warped sense of herself. Maybe she could visit him and buy him a pizza, or a bag of groceries. Talk to him, ask him is he going to continue as a homeless person, and why. She could help, if she tried. Maybe he could try to help people who end up in his situation. Many homeless people are mentally ill. Maybe he could help people to help himself. He would know first hand how people end up is such situations. Maybe he could turn to his faith for inspiration, become a priest. I love my sisters so much. They have helped me. I would be there for them no matter what….whatever anyway…people shouldn’t be thrown in the trash becaused they made som mistakes.
