Now it’s Miss Whiplash but Madonna denies Brits fall was a publicity stunt

Madonna has denied her fall at the Brit Awards was a publicity stunt and said she has received treatment for whiplash injuries. The 56-year-old star attracted worldwide attention for the wrong reasons on Wednesday night when she was pulled backwards down some stairs by her backing dancers. The singer said the Armani cape she was wearing at the time was tied too tight because choreographers did not want it to fall off. She could be seen fumbling with the tie before falling off the stage. Madonna said: “I had a little bit of a whiplash and I smacked the back of my head. So there was a man standing over me with a flashlight until about 3am making sure I was still conscious.”

I didn’t hurt my butt, I hurt my head. I did. I know how to fall, I’ve fallen off my horse many times. I tucked and I have good core strength.

She was accused by some of manufacturing the incident to create headlines but revealed: “I was told to tie my cape and start much further back than I had rehearsed, and because I hadn’t walked so much further everyone was worried that my cape was going to slide off because it was quite heavy. They tied it really tightly around my neck. So here I am marching in like the Queen and I got to the top of the stairs and I pulled my silky string and it did not come undone. And my two lovely Japanese dancers basically strangled me off the stage.”

I had a choice - I could either de-strangle or fall with the cape, and I fell.
