The Old Injury

SOLVED!

[Blind Gossip] This woman has been famous for more than two decades.

When you’ve seen her this year, it’s clear that she is having some physical problems.

Her team brushes it off as a common accident and says she is on the mend.

Plausible?

Yes.

The truth?

No.

She needs a hip replacement. She is frightened about going into surgery.

She also doesn’t want the news to get out because she doesn’t want people thinking of her as OLD!

If she does get the surgery, she may lie and say it was knee surgery or ankle surgery so people don’t judge her.

She still has a lot of ambitious plans, so we can understand why she would want the public to see her as healthy and energetic.

Woman:

[Optional] Would you think differently about this woman if you knew she needed/had a hip replacement?

SOLVED!

Woman: Madonna

Your friends at Blind Gossip told you more than two years ago that Madonna needed a new hip… and now it looks like she finally had hip replacement surgery!

One of the reasons that she stalled on the surgery was because she was concerned that people would judge her as “old” if she admitted that she needed to get her hip replaced.

So she hobbled around for a couple of years.

While some news reports didn’t specify what kind of injury she had, others followed her publicist’s lead and called it a “knee injury.”

Since her Madame X tour kicked off last September, Madonna endured a series of injuries while performing, such as twisting her knee…

And:

Madonna reveals she is STILL on crutches following her knee injury on tour in Paris this February…

She even tried to make the injury “sexy” by posing with her crutches… and no top.

From The Daily Record:

Madonna has left little to the imagination in a saucy Instagram snap as she ditched her bra and posed with a crutch.

The iconic Vogue singer oozed confidence and didn’t let her knee injury stop her from posting the sizzling selfie online to her 15.2 million followers.

In the sultry snap, the 61-year-old ensured her breasts were covered by placing her arms strategically and also showed off a pair black briefs. She then finished off her minimalist look with a casual bucket hat and a stack of gold bracelets.

Captioning the picture, Madonna said: “Everyone has a Crutch…………….”

Again, note that it is described as a “knee injury.”

No.

We told you that it was an ongoing hip problem and that she needed hip replacement surgery.

Madonna is 62 years old, which puts her in the right age group of those that are more likely to need a hip replacement.

She finally got it done.

And now she is actually showing off a scar… and calling herself a survivor!

The bandage is covering the bulk of the scar, but the placement of the scar indicates a hip replacement.

There are some who might look at Madonna’s scar and think that it doesn’t look like the scars they have seen on other hip replacement patients.

There are actually several different types of hip replacement surgery (e.g. partial hip replacement, hip resurfacing) and several different approaches by surgeons (e.g. anterior, lateral, posterior) that affect scar location and scar length. Some surgeons can even do an anterior approach where the scar is hidden in your bikini line!

Based solely on the scar, Madonna appears to have had an anterior or lateral interior hip replacement surgery.

Or very, very high knee surgery.

Just kidding.

Some of you thought that this blind item was about Hillary Clinton.

Nope!

We even provided you with a clue that should have led you to Madonna.

She still has a lot of ambitious plans…

Remember Madonna’s Blond Ambition Tour?

Madonna will not be squatting like that anytime soon.

Congratulations to Copssister for being first with the correct answer!

    Hillary Ramrod Clinton.

    Madonna has been famous for 4 decades now. Also, she has never had/appeared to have any physical problems and is in tip top shape, so it can’t be her.

  3. tinker belle says

    Hilary Clinton
    It does not effect me if a politician has a hip replacement! Besides it is better that it is taken care of rather than keep falling over and risking further injuries…

  5. SouthJerseyGirl says

    Madonna (clue = ambitious) – wouldn’t think differently. She’s a dancer – they always have injuries.

  7. Flanky says

    Serena williams. She’s been the most famous female athlete in the last 20 years. Other than that, i got nothing because if there are any specific clues, I’m sure not seeing them.

  9. Female says

    My first guess was Jennifer Lopez. She does a lot of demanding dance moves, which is precisely what gave Prince a hip injury.

  12. aaaPanda says

    Hillary Clinton? I thought she was falling over a lot because she was drunk. Maybe I did her an injustice.

    I think she should get a hip replacement and get mobile again. I know some people in their forties with replacement hips – it is not all about age. It is much worse to be thought of as a drunk who keeps falling over. Wouldn’t vote for a drunk, but would for the right person with new or old hip.

  14. Mr Jaws says

    Madonna. Eddie Van Halen had to get a hip replacement. People don’t think any less of him.

    Woman: Hillary Clinton

    [Optional] Would you think differently about this woman if you knew she needed/had a hip replacement? Nope

  17. ohRthey says

    Hillary. We won’t be offended if you just go away. We already think you’re old. Please stay out of politics. You aren’t very good at winning.

  18. ILUVCA4evr says

    Woman:Hillary Clinton

    [Optional] Would you think differently about this woman if you knew she needed/had a hip replacement? Nope. I already don’t like her and nothing will change that.

  21. More_Cowbell says

    I’ll guess Jessica Simpson (Ambition) and no, I don’t think anything could change the way I feel about her.

  23. gothamgal says

    Helen Mirren

    No, because there are a lot of people younger than her that have them.

  26. equinox says

    Victoria Beckham. Seen using a crutch a few month back which her PR said was a ”stress fracture on her ankle from skiing”. Has a collaboration with Reebok coming out so would lie about hip replacement to do sporty promo appearances for that.

  27. Insiderher says

    Okay, Jane Fonda has had both hip & knee replacement, and gave interviews on it. So not her. Hillary is in the news for using scarves to hide her back brace, so I change my vote to HRC. But her team isn’t saying anything about an old injury, and there hasn’t been a HRC accident story for weeks! So I’m perplexed.
    But, HRC, always looking for ways to cover up.

  32. Insiderher says

    Hillary has been wearing a back brace for an unexplained complaint. That doesn’t seem connected to a hip injury, but she is always falling. But, the plotline of needing hip surgery is prominent on Grace & Frankie. Fonda has a nightmare about needing hip replacement, so I’ll put my money on her. I don’t like her, but it rocks she’s starring in a show at 80.

  36. rorythedragon says

    I think this is HRC. And no, I wouldn’t think differently. I would still say: Go. Away.

  42. waysouthofheaven says

    Hillary Clinton

    Optional: NO. I would still think she should go away.

  50. bertwheeler says

    Hillary Clinton?
    No, hip replacements are fairly common. It’s lying about it that people object to.

  55. amagod121 says

    Hillary Ramrod Clinton.

    No. But I do based upon her many, many falls and apparent neurological issues that cause these many falls.

  58. aaaShuri says

    Madonna?

    Clue: ambitious = Blonde Ambition Tour.

    Would not think differently of her if she had a hip replacement. I think worse of her for putting her vanity above her physical health though.

  62. Glitter says

    Gotta be Hillary. She seems to be wearing a back brace under her pant suits. Hillary, nothing wrong with a hip replacement.

  64. nylahou says

    Woman: Hillary Clinton

    I wouldn’t think less of her. She’s traveled the world, and is ~70 years old, so it’s no hiding that she’s up in age.

  71. fozzie says

    Jodie Foster
    I wouldn’t think differently about her. Who cares? If your joint needs replacing, do it.

  73. kc1977 says

    Madonna but she’s been famous for almost 4 decades so maybe not.

    “Ambitious”
    Blonde ambition

  74. gemini1993 says

    madonna.. i am only thinking this because of ambitious (blonde ambition)
    no.. even though she tries too hard to be seen as young but we know she is aging
