Guy Ritchie

Guy Ritchie got the shock of his life. A crazed Madonna fan was seen brandishing his knife on the sets of Guy’s new film.

The terrorising teenager burst into the set and was foul mouthing. The security guards were alerted and brought the teenager down.

While grounded the kid screamed: “I’m Madonna’s biggest fan! I’m gonna kill Guy.”

The director is fighting a divorce case with Madonna was reportedly yards away. The petrified crowd witnessed the teenage kid shouting out and waving a 12 inch long knife. He was yelling at the top most voice : “Where’s Guy? I’m going to kill him!”

The teenager had somehow barged in managing to get inside the set in Manchester where Guy Ritchie is shooting for a Sherlock Holmes remake. A visibly terrified witness/source said, “The bloke was screaming about Guy and shouting, ‘I love Madonna’.”

The source also added that everyone present inside thought at first to be a joke. But soon things got worse. He said that luckily there were four guards/policemen who empowered the youth and grounded him.

He added: “Guy was understandably upset, but carried on as if nothing had happened.” The knifeman’s entry and display was too scary for Ritchie. A 16 year old has been arrested in connection to this incident. No further details have been divulged by the authorities.

A reliable source reported to the MailOnline website: “It was a very emotional call and a sign of the desperation Madonna feels for them to settle before things start getting more serious legally. Madonna tried to remind Guy of all the good times, said how they must settle before it got any more messy and public. She said she had always worked so hard to provide for the family. She said she had been saddened by some of the criticisms of her which appeared to have come from his camp”.

Madonna and Guy have three children and the couple have also reportedly been involved into a dispute shortly over the custody of the children. Madonna was reportedly encouraged to contact her spouse by her Kabbalah spiritual leader Rabbi Berg. Berg wanted the couple to be in constant touch so that the reputation of Kabbalah, a mystical offshoot of Judaism, is not damaged.

The singer was found crying opening in front of many people for the first time.  The air of their bitter split
took its toll said a close friend of Madonna.

The source also added that how open Madonna was in revealing details. So it was also a responsibility that fell on Guy to reveal his story.

The source said that Guy required a vent just like his former wife needed. “Guy has said that most people wouldn’t believe what went on in their marriage and it would make the most incredible dark, twisted sort of movie. “His idea would be to give it a film noir treatment. It would be fascinating,” was the source had to say about the movie planned by Ritchie. However friends believe that Madonna the ‘4 Minutes’ singer will use her music career to hit back with her “war of words” which has been there since the couple publicly split.

Madonna is allegedly very desperate for sons David and Rocco to live with her and her 12-year-old daughter Lourdes.

Another friend said: “Madonna is very hurt with everything that has happened…She is very upset that the marriage is over - and so is Guy.” J. Randy Taraborrelli, Madonna’s biographer said: “There was a great deal of haggling about this matter last week, with Madonna upping the amount of Guy’s settlement to more than £20 million in hopes that he would acquiesce.” The biographer also claimed that the pair are now “not even speaking to each other.

Madonna Guy Ritchie

For quite a long time, the star couple has been in the midst of speculations regarding their broken marriage and several new link up stories.

Close sources/confidants/friends have confirmed that for long Madonna and Guy Ritchie have dragged on with the soured relationship and have had to bear pretence in order to save their happy image presumably.

Problems grew strong around Guy’s 40th birthday when a series of severe fights resulted in Madonna walking out of their house and Ritchie claiming everything was over and he had enough. He also felt that this was the right time to get divorced.

Sadly Madonna and Ritchie are to get officially divorced in less than a week. A close source has spilled the beans to The Sun, saying, “Madonna was dithering at first about whether a separation would be best or whether to go ahead with the divorce. “She has now agreed with Guy that a divorce is the best thing to do.”

Guy Ritchie has seen a massive downward movement in his career in the recent times whereas Madonna has seen the zenith of success. The couple also had problems relating to their age and children. Madonna being 50, turned down Ritchie’s hunting plans since reportedly she has become extremely philosophical.

Arguments about their kids Lourdes, 12, Rocco, eight, and David Banda, two, were regarding Madonna’s decision to return to US with her kids which would be a good excuse to settle down far away from Ritchie’s clutches.

Madonna and Ricthie had problems on adoption as well. Madonna wanted to adopt more kids but Ritchie did not. Ritchie did not feel it as a right time to adopt kids since their marriage was on the rocks.

The source has confirmed  : “She was adamant that she was leaving Guy and not coming back.”
The couple are going public with their split because they “can’t bear to live with the pretence any longer”.
