Madonna Whacks 'EMPIRE' Lee Daniels; Backs Ex-Hubby in Lawsuit... https://t.co/tFsb92cVxc

— DRUDGE REPORT (@DRUDGE_REPORT) December 17, 2015

In a declaration that was filed on December 17th (Thursday), Madonna states: I am aware of the allegations that have surfaced over the years accusing Sean of incidents of physical assault and abuse against me. Specifically, I am aware of the allegations concerning an alleged incident that occurred in June, 1987, whereby (according to tabloid reports), Sean allegedly struck me with “a baseball bat.” I know the allegations in those and other reports to be completely outrageous, malicious, reckless, and false.

Sean Penn is suing Empire creator Lee Daniels over comments stating he has physical assaulted women in the past.
