Sean Penn Denies Abuse Allegations Once Again
Rumors that Sean Penn was physically abusive against Madonna during their marriage have been going around for decades, and the actor has decided to address them once again. After years of denying the accusations, he has now opened up about how he found out about them and how they made him feel.
Sean Penn found out he was being accused of abuse the morning after a date night with a girlfriend he had after he and Madonna divorced. He said that after a “lovely night,” he woke up to find his girlfriend “looking at me like I killed her dog” and asking him “about this hitting Madonna in the head with a baseball bat.” Clearly, the reports had come out that morning.
“I didn’t know what the hell she was talking about. Now I think it’s fair to say that I’m not the biggest guy in the world. But if I hit Mike Tyson in the head with a baseball bat, he’s going to the hospital,” he said.
Things took a dark turn for Sean Penn after that.
“I had a freaking SWAT team come into my house,” he recalled. “I said: ‘I’m not coming out. I’m going to finish my breakfast.’ The next thing I knew, windows were being broken all around the house and they came in.”
The actor adamantly denied ever hitting Madonna and called her “someone I love,” and even gushed over the friendship they managed to build after their divorce.
Madonna Also Denied The Rumors
The allegations that Sean Penn had been abusive towards Madonna during their marriage didn't come from the Queen of Pop herself, which angered the actor even more.

As the rumors kept going around, the actor ended up filing a defamation lawsuit in 2015 against Empire creator Lee Daniels, who publicly branded him an abuser, and Madonna backed him up on his claim.

"I am aware of the allegations that have surfaced over the years accusing Sean of incidents of physical assault and abuse against me," she said in a statement. "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."
"While we certainly had more than one heated argument during our marriage, Sean has never struck me, 'tied me up,' or physically assaulted me, and any report to the contrary is completely outrageous, malicious, reckless, and false," she concluded.
