Madonna shocks Orlando massacre survivor with “God Control” music video

Madonna’s new video “God control” takes up the sad slaughter of Orlando. A video that is inappropriate for one of the survivors of that night.

Has Madonna gone too far? On Wednesday June 26, 2019, the star unveiled the music video for the title “God Control”, taken from his new album “Madame X”. The eight-minute video shows a massacre at a gay nightclub, openly inspired by the one in Orlando, on June 12, 2016. Omar Mateen, 29, entered the nightclub and opened fire over the crowd. The attack killed 49 people and seriously injured 53 others. Mateen was shot dead by police shortly after. This attack had deeply bruised the Americans and caused great emotion around the world.

The video looks exactly like what I saw that night

Patience Carter, a survivor of that bloody night, was very shocked after watching Madonna’s new music video. In a video, she confided in TMZ : “For someone like me who saw these images, who lived these images… To see them again… It’s traumatic”, she declared. Indeed, at 2:40 and for thirty long seconds, the images show men and women being shot coldly. “The video looks exactly like what I saw that night,” continues Patience Carter. Despite their graphics, the images are very realistic and they are accentuated by the sounds of the screams and detonations of the automatic weapon.

Patience Carter asks for an apology from Madonna

At the end of her testimony, the Orlando survivor argues that the prevention message at the beginning of the clip should have been stronger. The latter actually informs that: “The story you are going to see is very disturbing. It shows graphic scenes of violence. But it happens every day. It must stop ”. Patience Carter asks Madonna for an apology from all the victims: “I think she has to apologize to the survivors who saw the video without realizing the intensity of the scenes. These images only stir up all this pain, ”she lamented.

Seeing the reality and the brutality of things, we wake up

In an interview with «People», the Queen of Pop explained why she made this choice: “I made this video because I want to draw attention to a crisis that needs to be resolved. For me, it’s the biggest problem in America right now. I can’t stand it anymore ”, she explained before continuing:“ Seeing the reality and the brutality of things, we wake up. It really is happening. Here is what it looks like. Does it make you feel bad? Good, because then maybe you’ll do something now. ” With her clip, Madonna hopes to raise awareness and move the debate forward.
