Madonna offers Guy an extra $10 million to control their children

Madonna is such a legendary control freak that it’s really unfair she gets to live a lifestyle that indulges that mindset. Though the rest of us have to learn to get along in the world without having absolutely every little thing our way, Madonna has been able to buy her way into getting whatever she wants. Case in point: she wants to control Guy Ritchie’s access to their children, so she can have it constantly be however she wants it. That way she’ll never have to acquiesce or even be somewhat considerate of another person’s needs. And in order to get what she wants, Madge is willing to throw another $10 million into the divorce pot.

Madonna has offered Guy Ritchie an additional £5million to dictate his access rights to their three children. The singer has agreed to increase the lump sum cash payment he will get in their divorce from £15million to £20million if he backs down from a court battle over Lourdes, 12, Rocco, eight, and David Banda, three.

Legal sources said last night that Mr Ritchie would be well-advised to take the offer since Madonna as their mother would be seen as primary carer. As such, a British judge would most probably rule the children should live with her in New York rather than in England with Guy.

‘Madonna has said to Guy that if she ups the money, then would he agree to her setting out the access for the children until they turn 18. What she is basically saying is that if Guy wants this to go to court, she will get what she wants anyway. Basically she is offering a cash incentive to him to encourage an amicable out-of-court agreement over the children.. Madonna is keen to give Guy good access to the children - but on her terms,’ a source said.

‘Guy wants the children to be educated in Britain - especially his beloved Rocco - but his lawyers will be advising him that if Madonna moves to New York and wants the children with her, a judge is likely to agree.’ Ritchie spent yesterday mulling over the offer with his lawyers.

The offer also contains a clause which will effectively attempt to gag Ritchie and his family from talking about the marriage break-down. Access to the children is the only area of the split Guy and Madonna are now at loggerheads over.

I’m curious how Madonna could possibly gag Guy’s family from saying anything about their marriage. She didn’t marry them, and they’re entitled to say whatever they want. Unless she has in some way supported them or is trying to bribe their silence, she doesn’t have the tiniest ability to make them keep their mouths shut. And that shouldn’t have a thing to do with their custody arrangement.

It goes to show was a control freak she is – to think she wants to keep her in-laws from saying anything negative about her. Quick piece of advice Madge: if you’re so worried about people talking about you, stop doing so many ty things for people to talk about. It would, however, be nice if the judge ordered Madonna and her PR team to be gagged. Their -talking has reached epic levels.
