If we know Madonna for her public provocations, it seems that at home she is very strict.
Even a little too much to believe his eldest daughter, Lourdes Leon, who preferred to pack her bags once high school was over.
“My mom is such a
control freak
, and she's been controlling me my whole life.
I needed to be completely independent after graduating from high school, ”she told
Interview Magazine
(relayed by
People
)
Nevertheless, this restrictive education has its good sides: it pushed the young Lourdes Leon to take responsibility financially as soon as possible.
Independence
“If your parents pay for everything, it gives them a grip on you,” she adds.
Indeed, if being Madonna's daughter obviously allowed her to land juicy contracts, especially in modeling, she used this money to finance her higher education and her Brooklyn apartment without claiming a cent, like she had previously told
Vogue
.
Lourdes Leon, on the other hand, admires her mother's work ethic and what she has accomplished to advance the emancipation of women.
“He's without a doubt the hardest working person I know.
I did not inherit this, unfortunately.
I inherited his control issues, but not his work ethic!
», Concludes the young woman.
Madonna, in any case, will not learn anything that she does not already know by reading the interview with her daughter, since she admitted, in the pages of
People
magazine
in 2017, that she was "the least popular parent. "To his children," the one who says no ".
Lourdes Leon was born from Madonna's relationship with dancer and choreographer Carlos Leon.
The Material Girl then gave birth to Rocco, from her marriage to Guy Ritchie.
She is also the mother of David Banda, Mercy James, and twins Estere and Stella, four adopted children in Malawi.
