Madonna and Guy Ritchie Say She’s Not Giving Him $80M

December 17th, 2008 by Evil Beet


Guy Ritchie and Madonna at New York City Premiere of Revolver

The ex-couple issued a joint statement today, regarding reports that their divorce settlement included Guy getting around $80M from Madge:

“We have tried to maintain a dignified silence regarding the details of our divorce for the last few months whilst accepting the obvious media interest. A misleading and inaccurate statement, specifically in relation to the sums of money involved, was wrongly issued to AP this week. The financial details of the settlement will remain private, save to say that both of us are happy with our agreement. Our primary concern, like any co-parents, is the care and well being of our children.”

Why did they use the word “co-parents” rather than “parents”?

    Because she likes to use as many 50¢ words as possible.
    That’s why she used ‘primary’ instead of ‘main’.
    Guy must be so happy to finally be free of her!

    I’m thinking off hand that perhaps it’s b/c he is not Lourdes’ father???

    “coparents” is the PC term for parents in some sort of custody agreement.

    Who says “whilst”?

  5. mambaX says:

    I would say cooparents
    as in people who cooperate
    and it seems weirder

    Translation: “We tried to keep this shit on the DL, but everything leaked out and every word is true.”

  7. Sprocket says:

    Co-parents: parents who do not live together

    Parents: parents who do live together

    It’s not that hard to figure out.
