Madonna Now Blames "Thugs" for Booing at Paris Concert

Kevin Mazur/WireImageWe've heard from the fans. We've heard from her spokeswoman. Now Madonna herself has weighed in on the incident in Paris last Thursday night during which fans attending her intimate club show reportedly booed, called her nasty names and demanded refunds. According to her, it wasn't her fans at all who were upset with the 45-minute performance.

In a statement posted on her official website, Madonna writes, "Playing the Olympia was a magical moment for me and it was real treat to do this special show for my fans and be so close to them. Unfortunately at the end of the show -- after I left the stage -- a few thugs who were not my fans rushed the stage and started throwing ******* bottles pretending to be angry fans."

She went on to say, "The press reports have focused on this and not the joyous aspect of the evening. But nothing can take away or ruin this very special evening for me and my fans. When I looked out in the audience, everyone I saw had a smile on their face. I look forward to having this wonderful experience again."

Madonna's MDNA tour continues Wednesday in Warsaw, Poland. As previously reported, that show coincides with the 68th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising against **** rule during World War II, so the show will begin with the screening of a clip about the event.
