Madonna is glad Harvey Weinstein sexual misconduct allegations 'finally' came out, and reveals how she 'had to put up with it' when she worked with him because he was 'so powerful'. In wide-ranging interview with the New York Times Magazine, the singer, now aged 60, recounts how she worked with Weinstein on her 1991 documentary Truth or Dare. 'Harvey crossed lines and boundaries and was incredibly sexually flirtatious and forward with me when we were working together; he was married at the time, and I certainly wasn’t interested', she said. 'I was aware that he did the same with a lot of other women that I knew in the business. And we were all, 'Harvey gets to do that because he's got so much power and he's so successful and his movies do so well and everybody wants to work with him, so you have to put up with it.' Madonna discusses being judged as a mother at 60 who's also juggling a music career, in a new interview Madonna said Weinstein 'crossed lines and boundaries and was incredibly sexually flirtatious and forward' when they work on her 1991 documentary She said it was good hWeinstein 'was called out and held accountable' so long after they worked on Truth Or Dare where she famously simulated oral sex on a water bottle But she makes clear how she didn't delight in his downfall when the #MeToo movement began. 'I was really like, "Finally." I wasn't cheering from the rafters because I'm never going to cheer for someone's demise... But it was good that somebody who had been abusing his power for so many years was called out and held accountable.' The interview published Wednesday, also addresses the Donald Trump dating rumor seemingly started by his publicist in a 1991 issue of People. The topic arose again when his presidential term started in 2017, but now Madonna clarifies she did not ask him out as claimed, instead she couldn't shake him. 'I did a Versace campaign with Steven Meisel at his house in Palm Beach,' Madonna said about Trump. "He kept going: 'Hey, is everything O.K.? Finding yourself comfortable? Are the beds comfortable? Is everything good? Are you happy?".' Madonna has been a public critic of the president before but in this week's interview says what she believes an alpha male is behind the façade. 'They're overcompensating for how insecure they feel — a man who is secure with himself, a human who is secure with themselves, doesn't have to go around bullying people all the time,' she said. 'What is the context that you're using your strength in? Are you abusing your power? Women can also abuse their power. And if that's also backed up by a lack of intelligence, emotional or intellectual, a lack of life experience, a lack of compassion, then it's really a bad mixture.' Madonna says Donald Trump was constantly calling her when she used his home for a photo shoot but she never asked him on a date as it was claimed in 1991 Her dislike of Trump has served her creatively however. She uses her Madame X album as an outlet to get across her political views, especially about the 45th president who she says 'seemed to be systematically removing all of our personal freedoms'. The Papa Don't Preach singer's 14th LP is released next week and she's hoping it will resonate more than her Rebel Heart release in 2015 which leaked early. 'There are no words to describe how devastated I was,' she commented on the songs leak. 'It took me a while to recover, and put such a bad taste in my mouth I wasn't really interested in making music… I felt raped.' New album Madame X comes out June 14 and Madonna said she 'felt raped' after songs from 2015's Rebel Heart were leaked Madonna admits being criticized for flashing flesh in front of the world while raising her brood – which consists of biological daughter Lourdes, plus biological son Rocco and David, Rafael, Rivka, and Levi adopted from Malawi with ex-husband Guy Ritchie – can hurt her feelings. The star - who splits her time between London, New York and Portugal for David's soccer training – said she would stop working if she had to choose between her career or helping her brood chase their dreams. 'My head is in a whirl,' she said about juggling music, and keeping up with dance choreographer Lourdes and painter Rocco. It's a challenge for Madonna not to feel frustrated and judged or compare herself to others with harsh comments from social media users so surmises she preferred life without a phone. 'You can't win,' she told the magazine. 'An ass shot will get you more followers, but it will also get you more detractors and criticism. You're in that funny place.' 'My head is in a whirl,' she said about juggling her career with motherhood at 60. She recalled feeling 'lonely' and wanting to make friends living in Portugal for son David's soccer training. Pictured July 2017 Daughter Lourdes Leon (pictured 2011), 22, is a choreographer and son Rocco Ritchie, 18, (right in 2012) is a painter Madonna said, but she is still chasing her own career goals Madonna said women are marginalized but should fight against being made to 'feel some type of way about your age'. The New York Times Magazine reports she still has her own photographer dedicated to social media and even a lighting person to adjust unflattering bulbs if need be. Despite her jet-set lifestyle and friends all over the world, Madonna – who divorced British film director Guy Ritchie after eight years in 2008 and was married to Sean Penn 1985 to 1989 – does feel lonely at times. Her eldest children are 22 and 18, while two are 13 and two are 6. She realized while in Lisbon for David that the soccer mom life wasn't for her. 'I was living with my kids, I felt very cut off from a lot,' She complained. 'It was FIFA and my kids' school and that's it. I'm fighting with the plumber. I really wanted to make friends.' Madonna admits it hurts to see social media criticism about her image as a 60-year-old but says women need to fight being marginalized All rights reserved for this news site dailymail and under his responsibility
