“While we certainly had more than one heated argument during our marriage,” the “Popular” singer’s affidavit read, according to court files obtained by E! News at the time. “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.”
The I Am Sam star later settled the $10 million lawsuit after Daniels issued an apology and extended an unspecified charitable donation to an organization of Sean’s choice, per The Hollywood Reporter.
And while Sean and Madonna may have cut all romantic ties back in 1989, he noted he has a lot of love for the Material Girl.
“It turns out it’s a lot quicker to repair a friendship after divorce if there are not kids involved,” he noted to The New York Times. “She’s someone I love.”
E! News has reached out to reps for Madonna regarding Sean’s recent comments but has not yet heard back.
