In a new interview with the Times, actor Sean Penn has dived deep into his personal and professional life. Instead, it is a tidbit dating back to nineteen-eighty-seven with people talking. That year it has long been alleged that Penn assaulted Madonna with a baseball bat, although, in the interview, Penn claims that didn’t happen. Madonna herself debunked the rumors in twenty-fifteen calling the rumors outright malicious and ‘lies.’
“I had a freaking SWAT team come into my house,” the Oscar winner recalled to the New York Times in a profile published Saturday.
