Madonna’s BRIT Awards fall made the headlines because the 57-year-old star completed the show despite the accident involving her Armani cape. However, a new report claims that the brand behind the cape thinks Madonna was the one at the fault for the incident in the first place.

Page Six reports that Giorgio Armani said it was Madonna being difficult when her cape was being designed that ultimately led to her big accident during her BRIT Award performance of her single “Living for Love.” Armani did not mince words about what Madonna’s own role in her very public accident. “Madonna, as we know, is very difficult,” he told the AP. “This cape had a hook and she wanted a tie and she wasn’t able to open it with her hands,” he added.

For her part, Madonna said on "The Jonathan Ross" show that will air on March 14 on Britain's ITV network that the fall was not a publicity stunt. She also explained the Armani cape was tied too tight that she could not pull it off so she was dragged backwards by her Japanese backstage dancers. She suffered from whiplash and hit her head as a result. Before this explanation, she also took to Twitter to say “Armani tripped her up.”

Her representative reacted to the comment by Armani, but did not say anything untoward against designer. The rep only said that accidents happen and Madonna loves the brand, regardless.

The pop diva seemed to have move on from the incident altogether and concentrating her energies on an upcoming tour. She just announced that her “Rebel Heart” tour would kick off in Miami on August 29th, then continue on through December. The 35-city tour will end in Glasgow on December 20. Tickets for the concert would be up for sale starting on Mar 9.

To excite and entice fans further, she also announced that she would be spending one whole week singing live on “Ellen.” Fans can catch her live performances on the comedy talk show from Mar 16 to 20. Before this, she would also sing on Today’s show for two straight days on Mar 9 and 10.
