Sean Penn denies molesting ex Madonna: “He’s someone I love”

“A goddamn SWAT team came to my house,” Penn said New York Times in an interview published on Saturday, June 22, she added that Madonna told police she was worried about guns in the house. “I said, ‘I’m not leaving. I’m going to finish my breakfast. The next thing I remember, windows were breaking all over the house and they got inside.

He added: “They put me in handcuffs.”

Despite a tumultuous marriage and eventual divorce, Penn still has a soft spot for his first wife. “He’s someone I love,” he said NYT. “It turns out that it is much faster to repair a friendship after a divorce if there are no children involved. It took (ex-wife Robin Wright) and I for quite a long time. There was a lot of drama. It is much more important to fix it if children are involved, but it is not an easy task, is it?”

Madonna, however, denied that there was ever any physical violence in her marriage to Penn.
