Gossip: Madonna
Madonna's brother was fired from the family business 18 months ago and is now homeless.
Madonna’s brother is homeless and living under a bridge, said the London Daily Mail. Anthony Ciccone, 55, has been sleeping under a bridge in Traverse City, Mich., and performing odd jobs since getting into an argument with his father and being fired from his family’s vineyard 18 months ago. “My family turned their back on me,” Ciccone told MichiganMessenger.com. “You think I haven’t answered this kind of question a bazillion times—why my sister is a multibazillionaire, and I’m homeless on the street?”
