Sean Penn accused of domestically abusing Madonna
In the '80s, Madonna's relationship with Sean Penn took a dark turn, marked by allegations of toxicity and violence. One notorious incident in 1989 claimed Madonna was held hostage by Penn. Despite this, Madonna testified in Penn's favor during a defamation lawsuit, vehemently denying the allegations. Reports surfaced of Penn allegedly using a baseball bat to harm Madonna, causing such severe damage that she required hospitalization.
However, in 1988, Penn faced domestic assault charges related to this incident. He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor, leading to the end of their tumultuous marriage a year later. Despite the legal turmoil surrounding the domestic assault incident, Madonna chose not to press charges against Sean Penn. Penn was already dealing with legal issues from a separate incident, and Madonna's decision not to pursue charges in this specific case contributed to the complexities surrounding their tumultuous relationship.

Describing the aftermath, he expressed, "There were plenty of girls she had wondered about and some that she knew nothing about. And how it was all out in the open. I was f*****."
