Madonna She was once suspended by her father after an “indecent” performance at a middle school talent show, according to her younger brother, Christopher Ciccone.

He talks to author Marie Gabriel about Madonna’s recently released biography, “Madonna: A Rebellious Life” Ciccone says the incident occurred during Madonna’s senior year at West Junior High School in Rochester Hills, Michigan.

Ciccone says his sister and her friend stepped out onto a brightly lit stage and were covered head to toe in fluorescent body paint before proceeding to dance to The Who’s 1971 hit “Baba O’Riley.”

“She is wearing shorts and a shirt that is also covered in paint, but to my father, she might as well be naked,” Ciccone recalled in his autobiography.

“By his strict moral code, her appearance is completely X-rated, and he puts his camera down in horror,” he adds.

Ciccone says the audience was “stunned” and that Madonna’s performance was “the most scandalous ever seen in this conservative society.”

The star’s brother adds that as soon as they arrived home, their father took her aside and scolded her. He says she was suspended for two weeks.

“When she finally came out, her face was streaked with tears. Her performance was never mentioned again,” says Ciccone.

Madonna’s prep talent show wasn’t the only time she got into trouble in her formative years, according to the biography.

In the book, Linda Alaniz, Madonna’s college friend, says: “Material Girl” singer. She fell into an awkward situation during their time together at the University of Michigan, where they studied dance.

“One time, our African dance teacher asked for dancers to perform at church,” Alaniz recalls in “Madonna: A Rebel Life.”

“During our rehearsal, the first thing Madonna does is get up to the podium, pick up the microphone, and start singing at the top of her lungs,” she continues.

Alaniz says Madonna’s performance left her and the other students in fits of laughter, but their teacher was not happy.

“The teacher shouted, ‘Get down from there now, this is sacrilege,'” Alaniz recalled the teacher telling him. “She loved being the center of attention.”
