Madonna reveals it was very painful divorcing from director Ritchie and she had even thought of throwing herself off a building, but had her hectic worklife saved her.

She also mentioned that she struggled a lot in order to balance her emotional fall-out from her divorce with the 41-year old guy and with her US tour commitment.

Madonna, now 51-year-old, admitted to the Rolling Stone magazine, “It was a challenging year. I may have thrown myself off a building. I think work saved me and I’m very grateful.”

The interview was too frank with the magazine. She told that her controversial moves for years were a crucial part of who she is. The nude photos of her in Playboy and Penthouse was a big part of the controversy.

The star, mother of four, said, “That was the first time I was aware of saying “F- you” with my attitude… I [wasn't] going to let public opinion dictate my own feelings about myself. I [wasn't] going to apologise for anything I’ve done.”

Madonna also added, “I didn’t really have my first drink until I got divorced the first time – from Sean Penn – when I was 30. I was kind of a geek in high school.”
