Madonna and her team went to Us Weekly again to spill some sympathetic tea about the ongoing situation with Rocco Ritchie’s custody. As I keep saying, we’re going to be reading leaks about this stuff until they all meet in court in February. So I hope you like teenage drama and two exes bickering over old bulls—t. Because that’s all we’re getting for like four more weeks. Anyway, Madonna wants everyone to know that she’s crying a lot about the Rocco situation, and that Guy Ritchie is using their teenage like a pawn to settle some old grudges. Sure.

Madonna is in need of a ray of light. The pop superstar, 57, is “at her wit’s end” over her estrangement from son Rocco and her ongoing custody battle with her ex-husband Guy Ritchie, a source exclusively tells Us Weekly.

“She has been crying constantly over what’s going on with Rocco,” the insider tells Us.

“Rocco is a typical 15-year-old who wants to do what he wants,” the insider explains of the situation, maintaining that Madonna is a “fantastic mother” and that Guy Ritchie has a hidden agenda.

“This entire thing is 40 percent Rocco and 60 percent Guy,” the source explains, adding that “Guy is trying hard to mess with her again” and is putting things in Rocco’s head about his mother. He and Madonna divorced in 2008 after eight years together.

Rocco, the source adds, also misses having big sister Lourdes around the house. “Rocco misses Lola so it’s really hard for him not having her around at Madonna’s house,” the insider explains of the siblings. “He is incredibly close to her so it’s really hard for him to be alone at his mom’s without her.”

Us Weekly reached out to Rocco’s attorney for comment. Ritchie’s rep declined to comment.

Here’s my real talk: both Guy and Madonna need to get the hell over themselves. I’ll go the distance and believe that Guy has waged war against Madonna in the press in the past (when they were divorcing), and while I still think he’s leaking some damaging information about Madonna’s parenting, THEY BOTH ARE. They’re both waging media campaigns. Madonna’s team is going to media outlets to complain about what Guy is doing, when she’s engaged in the same kind of shenanigans. And between the two of them, I do think Guy is the one who realizes that Rocco is a moody teenager and Guy is just trying to keep the peace and be “present” father. Madonna is the one who took this whole situation public.
