MADONNA ‘DISAPPOINTED’ AT MEDIA CONTROVERSY
LATEST: Pop queen MADONNA has slammed critics of her adoption of 13-month-old Malawian DAVID BANDA, fearing the controversy will put others off adopting orphaned African children.
Speaking on the OPRAH WINFREY SHOW in the US - to be aired later today (25OCT06) - the MUSIC star, 48, expressed her disappointment at the media uproar surrounding Banda’s adoption.
She tells Winfrey, "I’m disappointed because it discourages other people from doing the same thing - for anybody who had the idea that they, too, would like to open their home and give a life to a child living in an orphanage who might possibly not live past the age of five.
"I feel like the media is doing a great disservice to all the orphans of Africa, period, not just Malawi, by turning it into such a negative thing." Madonna and her husband GUY RITCHIE were granted interim adoption of David Banda last Tuesday (17OCT06).
