Thompson understood Madonna's 'emotionally retarded' outburst

Actress Emma Thompson felt a rapport with Madonna when the pop superstar publicly referred to her ex-husband Guy Ritchie as "emotionally retarded", because she thinks the same of her spouse, actor Greg Wise.

The Oscar winner admits she was stunned to hear Madonna's comments on stage during her 'Sticky & Sweet' world tour last October just days after her separation from director Ritchie was announced.
