Madonna is being criticized for re-creating Marilyn Monroe’s death bed for her new V Magazine cover shoot.
One image shows the 63-year-old posed face down on a mattress exposing her bare behind, while in another photo, prescription pill bottles can be seen on her nightstand.
Online critics came after the “Like a Virgin” singer for being “morbid,” “gross,” and “inappropriate.” One Twitter user wrote, “Must be sad to still need so much attention.”
The photos were inspired by Bert Stern’s “The Last Sitting,” the final photoshoot Monroe sat for just six weeks before she overdosed on pills at the age of 36.
