Hollywood actor Sean Penn has denied ever hitting ex-wife Madonna with a baseball bat during their four-year marriage.
“I had a damn SWAT team show up at my house,” Penn told The New York Times, adding that Madonna told police she was concerned about guns in the house. “I said, ‘I’m not going out. I'm going to finish breakfast." The next thing I knew, the whole house was breaking windows and they came in.”
Despite their tumultuous marriage and subsequent divorce, Penn still has a soft spot for his first wife. “I love her,” he told NYT. “It turns out that it is much faster to restore friendship after divorce if there are no children in the marriage. It took me and [ex-wife Robin Wright] quite a long time. There was a lot of drama."
Penn and Madonna were married from 1985 to 1989, although the "Like a Virgin" singer first filed for divorce from Penn in 1987, although she withdrew the papers and filed again two years later. Both times Madonna filed papers, reports circulated that Penn not only physically assaulted the pop star, including beating her with a baseball bat, but also tied her to a chair for several hours.
Madonna, however, denies that there was ever any physical violence in her marriage to Penn. "While we have certainly had more than one heated argument during our marriage, Sean has never hit me, tied me up or physically assaulted me, and any reports to the contrary are completely outrageous, malicious, reckless and false," she wrote. she in a 2015 statement.
