«My mom is so crazy and has been controlling me all my lifeIt is said that her eldest daughter refers to it MadonnaAnd the Lord Lyonwho is now “immersed” in the art industry, faithfully following in her mother’s footsteps.
The 26-year-old was released a month ago Her first single, “Lock & Key” Signing with her stage name Lollahul, through an interview in Interview magazine, she confided to Madonna’s friend, Debbie Mazar, that:It’s so crazy my mom has been controlling me my whole life. I needed to be completely independent from her once I graduated from high school».
Lord Leon is the first daughter of Madonna and born in 1996, the fruit of the love story of the Queen of Pop with personal trainer turned actor Carlos Leon. The famous singer’s love with Carlos Leon, who is less than eight years old, lasted for three years and the romance broke up immediately after Lourdes was born. The young woman, despite the immense popularity of her mother, during her childhood remained away from the public eye and appeared extremely rarely in pictures with Madonna.
Lorde considered Madonna a “blessing” as she sometimes said, because she had it when she was 38. This is the period when the queen of pop on the screen conquered the “Evita” project and at the same time managed to realize her desire to have a child. In fact, many of Madonna’s biographers stated that at the time she had concerns about whether and to what extent pregnancy would affect her role.
In a climate of indescribable fame for Madonna, she managed, at least during the childhood of her eldest daughter, to keep her out of the public eye, though she exercised special control over her, for what she was allowed to do. her daily life.
“I didn’t take money from my mother”
The 26-year-old Lord, in her interview with the magazine, indicated her need to become financially independent, to get rid of the censorship practiced by her mother. As she explained after finishing school, she made sure to pay for her college and New York apartment with money she earned from her modeling and prom jobs.
«Obviously, I grew up very privileged. There is no doubt. But I think my mom saw all the celebrity kids and said, “My kids wouldn’t be like this,” so she raised us differently. Also, I believe that if your parents pay you for the things you need in your life, it gives them power over you».
“I wanted to conquer it all by myself”
The young woman made her catwalk debut in 2018 and has since been making her way into the fashion world, freeing from the weight of her mother’s famous name.
Four years ago, she made her debut in the Gypsy Sport Spring 2019 collection, while her second big appearance was at Rihanna’s runway show at New York Fashion Week.
However, Lorde made headlines at the 2021 Met Gala, posing and flaunting her armpit hair on the red carpet. Although she received a lot of criticism for the move, she did not take it seriously and later commented that this was the biggest lesson she learned from her mother.
Among her ambitions and outside the wider world of fashion, she appears to have another goal: “I want to create a world where models have more power in what they do and not just silent racks of clothes. This is the time when models enter the world of fashion as personalities and artists».
“He encouraged me to look at the big picture and think about what I want to do with my life.”
In another part of her interview with Interview magazine, Lourdes Leon confirmed that her mother always encouraged her to look at the big picture and think very seriously about what she wanted to do with her life.
«My mom insisted and wanted to make me think about my reasons for wanting to be famous, regardless of my appearance. After all, that’s not what I want people to remember me about».
Regarding her career choices and the reasoning by which she decided to chart her course, the 26-year-old asserted: “Financially, modeling is a smart decision. I like to be very involved in my campaigns. I dance, I have a very specific sense of style and I’m into aesthetics, so I like to incorporate all those parts of myself into whatever I choose to do. I still don’t know how to feel about acting, I’ll probably adopt a phrase that says “actors really bother me and I can’t be around them.” As for music, I can sing but I don’t care, maybe because it’s what I’ve been through since I was little at home».
The list of things I’m never allowed to do never ends.
Lorde previously mentioned that her life was full of limitations. Madonna’s best friend, Demi Mazar, said:I remember one time I brought you home and gave you some cookies and put you in front of the TV because you weren’t allowed to watch when you were littleLord replied:It was probably the happiest day of my life. The list of things I’m never allowed to do never ends».
As mentioned thus far, as an adult woman, Lourdes still imposes some restrictions from her mother. Even when asked if he takes Madonna’s clothes he said: “I do, but now she has a lock on her lockers. When he’s not home, he locks them up because I bring them».
“My mom is a control freak”
«It controls me all my life. I needed to be completely independent from her once I graduated from high schoolo “She added that she feels fortunate that her mother has control over her and the restrictions that she has imposed on her.
«She was probably the hardest worker I’ve ever seen. Unfortunately, I didn’t inherit it. She inherited her control issues, but not her behavior at work».
Madonna has six children, 26-year-old Lord, 22-year-old Rocco, 16-year-old David Banda, 16-year-old Mercy James, and 9-year-old twins Esther and Stella.
Rocco’s father is director Guy Ritchie, whom she was married to from 2000 to 2008. Her other children were adopted. Mercy James was adopted in 2009 and twins Esther and Stella in 2017, from Malawi with their brother David Banda, who she adopted in 2006.
