  1. Sitting in their wheelchair! Get the headline right.

    Edit: it’s also not “politically incorrect” as it’s not just politically inconvenient…Madonna was “plain incorrect” and belligerent.

  3. Yeah she’s not the best. Supposedly she’s always fat shaming and once said of her fans, “It’s always fat people too,” she says. “They are the most unattractive social outcasts, like really overweight girls or guys with lots of acne.”

  4. Dee Snyder told a story like this 20+ years ago. I always thought it was a joke…

  5. It wasn’t even politically incorrect. It was her just being a dick.

  7. I want to say this was an honest mistake, but even if he wasn’t in a wheelchair, why say anything at all?

  8. Politically incorrect? She was entitled and arrogant. Even if the fan was not in a wheelchair, why should he be forced to get up?

  9. She did something wrong. Then apologized. No one got hurt. The next step is everyone moving on with their lives.

  10. Third day in the row on this non-story but the Reddit morality squad can’t help themselves.

    I found this funny:

    > Though it has been widely reported that the person was in a wheelchair, it’s unclear in the video why Madonna let up on her initial sentiment — the audience member can’t be seen in a wheelchair, nor does the 65-year-old pop icon refer to such a device in the clip.

    So who the hell knows what’s going on but it isn’t that unusual for a performer to tease an audience member.

    Anyone taking serious offense to this story needs medication and maybe consider taking their show back to commenting on YouTube.

  11. Yeah it’s a lot more then being “politically incorrect”!

    She insulted a fucking handicapped person at her show! I think insulting fans is already pretty scummy behavior but she is just a asshole for this!

  12. It wasn’t “politically incorrect”. It was an asshole thing to say to anyone. The fact it was someone in a wheelchair just made her assholery spectacularly evident to all.

  13. I wonder how long she made them wait for her concerts….

  14. Never get too popular, kids.

    And kids, don’t idolize popular people.

  15. Madonna apologizing! Wow never thought I would see the day. Glad to hear it

  17. Self labeling as politically incorrect has always just meant asshole. This just reinforces that.

  18. I think it’s pathetic she called it ‘politically incorrect’ she should’ve said sorry instead.

  19. I guess treating people with disabilities with some dignity and respect is politically correct and not, you know, common decency?

    All you had to say was “my bad y’all”

  20. Not sure a women who looks like an “escape from la Beverly Hills” extra has a lot of leeway

  21. This would fall under the Faux Pais umbrella. Nothing abt it is “political”

  22. Couldn’t even imagine paying for a ticket and then having an interaction with the artist I went to see…just for her to be a total bitch in front of everyone to me. Lmao man.

  24. Politically incorrect? Didn’t realize being in a wheelchair has something to do with politics

  27. This lady sucks. Weird Al’s better off without her.

  29. Who the fuck still pays money to watch this freak ?! Boggles my mind

  30. Ladies got severe problems, probably dementia at this point. Just a silly character of her former celebrity further circling her career down the drain. God at this phase she’s probably been irrelevant longer than she was even relevant.

  32. Not so much politically correct as physically impossible

  33. No, just incorrect. And rude. And narcissistic. And unprofessional. In other words, on brand.

  35. Disabled person here.

    What she said wasn’t offensive or “politically incorrect”.

    It was just hugely entitled/rude of her to call out anyone for not dancing.

    Who calls out someone for not dancing to their music?!

  36. Did she learn nothing from Kanye doing the same thing ten years ago?

  37. I don’t care who’s concert I’m at, I’ll sit of stand if and d we hdd Ed n I want. She’s way too full of herself for an overpriced ticket to a concert she’s as Keats late for..can’t believe I used to like her..

  38. I went to one of her concerts in 2001 and I was dying to sit down the whole time.

  39. Not a politically incorrect moment but rather an egotistical moment that revealed the ugliness of an aging and irrelevant “musician”.

  40. Omg ppl stop bashing Madonna. She was playfully telling the person to get up and didn’t see the wheelchair. It’s not weird for a performer to encourage people to get up and dance. Sometimes that’s what it takes for someone who wants to dance but isn’t because the people next to them didn’t get up.

    It’s not a big deal the comments are really weird. I went to a concert recently. It was sold out and she put on a great show.

  43. It’s not politically incorrect. It’s being an asshole.

  45. Can we please let this old lady alone? The elderly can be senile at times, big deal.

  46. even if there wasnt a wheelchair, some disabilities are invisible

    some folks can walk for short bursts but need to sit most of the time

    this person bought a ticket just like everyone else

  47. This shouldn’t be news. It wasn’t a big deal. Honest mistake.

  48. It had nothing to do with her making an off color joke, using antiquated terminology, or anything political whatsoever. She was just an asshole. Even if the person wasn’t in a wheelchair she’d be an asshole for this.

  50. First of all, wtf why call out someone sitting? Second of all, I hope this answers the question for all the people who INSIST that standing at rock/pop concerts is rude. It’s normal here.
