Sean Penn Attends Ex-Wife Madonna’s L.A. Concert

Photobucket


Nearly 25 years after they split, Sean Penn and Madonna reunited on Thursday night … with about 20,000 other people between them. The "Milk" actor attended the Material Girl's concert at L.A.'s Staples Center, which also attracted celeb fans like Nicole Richie, as well as Jessica Alba and Emma Roberts on Wednesday evening. Although photos of the ponytailed 52-year-old standing outside the arena by himself smoking, there were reports that he was seated front and center next to Rita Wilson, the wife of Tom Hanks.

Thursday's concert was not the first time the two superstars have gotten together since their December 1987 split after two years of marriage (their divorce was finalized in 1989). Last February, the two were spotted on the dance floor at her post-Oscars party. In 2007, Penn spoke highly of his ex, despite the fact that she cited his abusive nature and issues with alcohol in her divorce papers.

"She was a phenomenon, but nothing could have told anybody what would happen next," he said. "I describe that marriage as loud. That's how I remember it. I don't recall having a single conversation in four years of marriage. I've talked to her a few times since, and there's a whole person there. I just didn't know it. I was just living in my own head. Who was it that said 'Men are vain, particularly young men'? That was me, and I liked to drink a lot."

I don't know how many times I've scrolled past your comments without realizing it was you because of your new icon, I'm just so used to the Bear Jew glaring at me.

My poor outside cats are such babies. We have a lot of possums and when one shows up to eat their food, they hop up onto a chair and watch. I guess it's good since fighting one of those guys would not be safe, but it's sad to see them so easily bullied.

I have to say, I'm honestly shocked that this article mentions his abuse at all. I've read 2 other articles that talked about a source saying he talked about it being "just like 1995" or whatever the fuck it was, and they didn't mention the abuse at all.

FU sean penn.

what is happening in your icon
vanishingbee 13th-Oct-2012 05:27 pm (UTC)


ummmmm well that would involve understanding the narrative of this a bit better

as far as I can tell, inhumane-black-fame gaga is dancing/contorting as she gets ready to get with her mirror self. (sequence starts around 1:05, the shot from my icon is somewhere around 1:30).

The media never mentions his abuse, most people my age don't know about it and I only found out because I spend so much time on ONTD, oop.

The industry rarely mentions his evil side, they've forgiven him countless times for his awful behavior through the years.

And now young Hollywood is starting to worship him more and more in public interviews.
leopard_legs 13th-Oct-2012 06:23 pm (UTC)
they're too busy focusing on how ~amazing an actor he is
he's only ok. and he's a bad man, but because he assaulted a woman we'll all forget about it

"I've talked to her a few times since, and there's a whole person there. I just didn't know it."

Are you sure that's not just a homeless man?

Because he looks like a homeless man.
fauxparadiso 13th-Oct-2012 05:20 pm (UTC)
mte. or a wayward trucker.
mercystars 13th-Oct-2012 06:12 pm (UTC)
i thought he was a trucker too, lol

[was raised by truckers]
i_have_no_style 13th-Oct-2012 05:23 pm (UTC)
Homeless man or my dad. I can't decide.

pastelward 13th-Oct-2012 05:25 pm (UTC)
idk if they're "friends" but iirc she has forgiven him and they have been at events together before
ronnie_luvs_u 13th-Oct-2012 05:23 pm (UTC)
"there's a whole person there"??? wtf is that supposed to mean? holy shit what an asshole.
openpick 13th-Oct-2012 05:29 pm (UTC)

chihaya19 13th-Oct-2012 05:43 pm (UTC)
really fucking cruel tbh
where_i_begin 13th-Oct-2012 05:48 pm (UTC)
I think he means they never really knew each other when they were married. They were both young, she was on the verge of becoming a huge star, he was a heavy drinker lashing out at the paparazzi...they spent lots of time apart and when they were together, it was very volatile and disastrous (Shanghai Surprise being an example). I don't think it's a slight at her. The last part of the quote illustrates that - "I just didn't know it. I was just living in my own head."

ia, I don't understand people not getting the gist of that comment...
helders 13th-Oct-2012 06:41 pm (UTC)
while i am on the "sean penn is an asshole" bandwagon ;) i agree w/ this comment. it's not hard to understand what he means. geez, i'm not going to pretend i lack reading comprehension b/c the guy is an asswipe.
highd 13th-Oct-2012 06:15 pm (UTC)
I took this as he is admitting that he never got to know her when they were married and since than he realizes who she is.

hierarchia 13th-Oct-2012 06:49 pm (UTC)
ikr? as opposed to what, exactly? a half-person, feminine object?
yougotthestyle 13th-Oct-2012 05:23 pm (UTC)
i don't know if i could keep a cordial relationship with somebody who abused me, hit me, humiliated me for nine hours, Madonna is way more forgiving/better person than me.
turkish_popstar 13th-Oct-2012 05:24 pm (UTC)
we can only learn from her example
icallitwormlog 13th-Oct-2012 05:51 pm (UTC)
No offense, but don't even joke about that. No one is obligated to be on good terms with their abuser.
andthenwevomit 13th-Oct-2012 07:23 pm (UTC)
bb this needs to be your default icon or something. You're the first person I think about when it comes to Madonna on ONTD tbh
tigersnap 13th-Oct-2012 06:59 pm (UTC)
I think it's like a coping mechanism. It would just be more psychologically damaging to hold on to anger.
looloosmells 14th-Oct-2012 04:56 am (UTC)
What did he do for nine hours?
turkish_popstar 13th-Oct-2012 05:23 pm (UTC)
I hope she dedicated Gang Bang to him.
hellb 13th-Oct-2012 06:14 pm (UTC)
I thought that was for Guy Ritchie?
janeeyre 13th-Oct-2012 06:18 pm (UTC)
I love that song!
brokenseas 13th-Oct-2012 08:03 pm (UTC)
I hope she was imagining his face on the dancers' heads while she shot them.
duckyduck92 13th-Oct-2012 05:23 pm (UTC)
Oh Rita, I expected more from you.
evett 13th-Oct-2012 11:29 pm (UTC)
She was originally Tom Hank's mistress. You really expected more from her?
duckyduck92 13th-Oct-2012 11:31 pm (UTC)
WHAT?! I have never heard that!
