Madonna, 61, shocks fans with X-rated bathroom snap

Madonna has sent fans into a spin after uploading a very risqué bathroom snap to her Instagram account.

The legendary singer can be seen posing in a mirror selfie, wearing nothing but a pair of black underwear and a black hat.

“Everyone has a crutch,” she captioned the photo, which showed her holding a crutch underneath her right armpit.

Fans immediately commented underneath the photo with love heart emojis, with one person writing: “Queen of everything”.

Others said Madonna has “empowered women for years” and called her “amazing”.

It’s not the first time Madonna has got the internet talking with a controversial Instagram upload.

Back in May, she copped heat when she posted a snap showing her in her underwear.

"Current Wardrobe Sitch... And for those of you who are offended in any way by this photo then I want to let you know that I have successfully graduated from the University of Zero F*^ks Given. Thanks for coming to my Graduation Ceremony! Class of 2020!, “she wrote.

Katy Perry referenced the caption with a comment on the snap, joking: "Omg I just enrolled at that college!"

Actress Debi Mazar also commented, saying: "Do your thing Ma," with a fire emoji.

Courtney Love added: "Girl, I told them to send you that diploma years ago (HOT AF)."

A fan wrote: "If someone is offended by this, they need to get off the Madonna train right now!"

In May, Madonna claimed she had tested positive for coronavirus antibodies, saying she's certain she contracted the virus while on tour.

In an instalment of her Quarantine Diaries on Instagram she said: "Took a test the other day and I found out that I have the antibodies."

"So tomorrow I’m just going to go for a long drive in the car, and I’m gonna roll down the window and I’m gonna breathe in the COVID-19 air. Yup. I hope the sun is shining."

She later clarified what she meant in another post saying: "When you test positive for anti-bodies it means you HAD the virus which I clearly did as I was sick at the end of my tour in Paris over 7 weeks ago along with many other artists in my show but at the time we all thought we had a very bad flu. Thank God we are all healthy and well now."

The New York Times reports that while an antibody test can determine whether or not someone has previously been exposed to coronavirus, it doesn't mean that a person is completely immune to it.

In a since-deleted video she drew criticism after calling the virus "the great equaliser".
