Madonna defends Adele over Lagerfeld's fat claim

Madonna defends Adele over Lagerfeld's fat claim

Highlights

  • Pop diva Madonna has blasted claims made by Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld that Adele is "too fat", calling it ridiculous.
  • Lagerfeld accused the Someone Like You singer of being overweight last month, but Madonna, 53, said Adele's clothes size is completely irrelevant to him, Femalefirst reported.
  • "That's horrible. That's ridiculous, that's just the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. I don't like it when anybody says anything bad about anyone - I don't like it. Adele's a great talent and how much she weighs has nothing to do with it," she said.
  • Discussing the deaths of Amy Winehouse and Whitney Houston - who both publicly battled problems with drink and drugs, Madonna says she finds it hard to get her head around such a waste of talent.
  • "I was hit by this shocking sense of disbelief - especially with Whitney Houston. It had not been a secret, the struggles Amy had been through - both brilliant, brilliant artists and obviously both huge losses."
