Madonna Mocked for
Topless Fourth of July Photo: ‘Put Some Clothes On’
by Daniel Nussbaum 5 Jul 2017
Pop icon Madonna celebrated the Fourth of July with a
racy picture in which she posed topless with an American flag wrapped
around her waist — but not all of her fans appreciated the holiday greeting.
The 58-year-old “Material Girl” superstar found
herself mocked by some social media users after she posted the picture to
her Twitter account Tuesday afternoon.
The singer captioned the photograph “AMERICA!!!” and
“HAPPy 4th,” along with numerous American flag and heart emojis.
It wasn’t immediately clear when the photograph was
taken, but at least one commenter noted it could have been taken during filming
of the singer’s 1990 get-out-the-vote
ad for Rock the Vote.
While a number of Madonna’s fans expressed their
enthusiasm over the photo, others offered up criticism; one user told her to
“put some clothes on,” while another simply commented: “Gross.”
The post did draw praise from some of the singer’s fans,
some of whom called her “queen” and “the real president of the United States.”
Madonna has a long history of sharing racy photographs of
herself, often for different reasons.
Shortly before November’s presidential election, the
singer shared
a naked photograph of herself in support of former Democratic candidate Hillary
Clinton, whom she endorsed and enthusiastically
supported during the 2016 campaign.
After Trump’s victory and just before his inauguration in
January, Madonna shared
a photograph of a Nike “swoosh” symbol shaved into a woman’s pubic hair to
promote the anti-Trump Women’s March on Washington.
At the march, the pop star came under fire (and reportedly sparked a Secret
Service investigation) when she told
thousands of attendees during a speech that she had often thought of “blowing
up the White House.” She later said the remarks were taken out of context.

In May of last year, the singer explained her attitude
toward risqué outfits in a social media post defending a revealing ensemble she
had worn to the Met Ball Gala, which had left her rear end exposed.
“My dress at the Met Ball was a political statement as
well as a fashion statement,” she wrote
in a post to her Instagram account. “The fact that people actually believe a
woman is not allowed to express her sexuality and be adventurous past a certain
age is proof that we still live in an age-ist and sexist society.”
Madonna appeared to spend the July 4 holiday in New York
City, posting a brief video on Twitter later Tuesday of fireworks lighting up
the city’s skyline.
