The Celebrity Truth

Madonna and Guy Ritchie released a joint statement Wednesday (December 17) saying details of their divorce settlement, released earlier this week by her publicist, were “inaccurate”.

Liz Rosenberg issued a press release on Monday (December 15) saying the Material Girl would pay her ex-husband over $70 million dollars in their quickie divorce.

However, the couple are backpeddling and released the following statement to the media:

“We have tried to maintain a dignified silence regarding the details of our divorce for the last few months whilst accepting the obvious media interest.

A misleading and inaccurate statement, specifically in relation to the sums of money involved, was wrongly issued to AP this week.

The financial details of the settlement will remain private, save to say that both of us are happy with our agreement.

Our primary concern, like any co-parents, is the care and well being of our children.”
