Yesterday, we reported that Madonna was firing back after she was slammed by many for the way she looked at the Grammy Awards on Sunday night. It has since been revealed that one of the most prominent people to blast Madonna’s look was the media personality Megyn Kelly, who said that the 64 year-old “Like A Virgin” singer looked “unwell” and is “a sick person who needs help.”
‘This Is An Unwell Person’
“I’m sorry but this is a sickness,” Kelly said of Madonna, according to The New York Post. “This is an unwell person who we featured at the Grammys the other night, and I don’t know if it says more about her, about our society, or about celebrity, but it’s disturbing me at the core.”
While Kelly, 52, has admitted to getting minor botox procedures herself, she pledged that she will never go as far as Madonna appears to have.
“I really hope that I would be in a better place [when I get to my 60s],” Kelly continued. “I’d like to think when I’m 64, I’m not going to give a s–t what people think about the way I look or my age.”
“I’m just going to be like full-fledged effing me,” the former Fox News host added. “This tells me she’s a sick person who needs some help.”
Check out Kelly’s full comments on this in the video below.

Madonna Fires Back At Her Haters
Kelly was far from the only person who criticized Madonna’s look, and the backlash got so bad that the “Vogue” singer felt the need to fire back by claiming that she’s being victimized by “ageism” and “misogyny.”
“Once again I am caught in the glare of ageism and misogyny That permeates the world we live in A world that refuses to celebrate women pass the age of 45 And feels the need to punish her If she continues to be strong-willed, hard-working and adventurous,” she said in a lengthy Instagram post.
“I have never apologized for any of the creative choices I have made nor the way that I look or dress and I’m not going to start,” Madonna added. “I have been degraded by the media since the beginning of my career but I understand that this is all a test and I am happy to do the trailblazing so that all the women behind me can have an easier time in the years to come. In the words of Beyoncé ‘You-won’t break my soul.'”
Madonna ended her post by letting her haters know that she won’t be going anywhere anytime soon.
“I look forward to many more years of subversive behavior — pushing boundaries —Standing up to the patriarchy — and Most of all enjoying my life,” she concluded. “Bow down b****es!”

Madonna Planning Tour
This comes after Madonna announced that she will be embarking on a massive tour later this year, which could partly be why she’s taking the attacks on her looks so seriously.
Whether you like Madonna or not, it can’t be denied that her look at the Grammys was shocking, and many will agree with Kelly’s assessment of it. In the end, Madonna can do whatever she pleases with her face, but she might want to ease up on the plastic surgery if she wants these kind of attacks on her to stop.
