Brigitte Nielsen slapped Madonna, had 1-night stand with then husband Sean Penn cause singer was being rude in a club
Brigitte Nielsen made some pretty startling revelations while she slammed singer Madonna Monday, November 11, for making her fans wait for two hours to see her Madame X Tour. The 56-year-old Danish actress said on 'The Talk' that by showing up late to her Las Vegas concert, the 61-year-old "Queen of Pop" disrespected her "sweet" fans.
The singer got up on stage Friday and told her patiently-waiting audience: "Here's something that you all need to understand. And that is that a queen is never late." Nielsen called Madonna's cocky explanation "ridiculous and uncalled for. She's not the queen."
She then recalled a not-so-pleasant encounter with the 'Papa Don't Preach' singer in the past, where she put her in her place by her reaction. "In 1987, I was at a club downtown with her and she kept stepping on my feet," Brigitte recalled while co-hosting the CBS talk show. "She was very rude and I ended up giving her a slap across the face."
Nielsen, who stands at a towering height of six feet and one inch, said the slap was "open hand" and must have left quite an impression as Madonna was "not very big and I'm a giant."
"I remember just six big guys picked me up - and that was fair enough I mean I probably shouldn't have done it - and I was out of the club," Nielsen laughed, as she recalled. The story did not end there as she said she had another opportunity to avenge Madonna's rude behavior after a few months.
While still married to her former husband, Sylvester Stallone (whom she divorced in 1987), Nielsen claimed she slept with the singer's then-husband, Sean Penn (whom Madonna divorced in 1989).
"However, the best part of the story, a couple of months later, in the south of France, I got back at her for being rude, having a one-night stand with [her husband] Sean Penn," she said.
Despite her momentary promiscuity, the actress claimed in her 2011 tell-all book, 'You Only Get One Life', that she did not have many random affairs. "That said, I've not had many one-night stands," Nielsen wrote."'I'm more suited to long-term relationships despite that night with Sean and the way I'm painted as wildly promiscuous."
