Harlum said: “I also googled you and Madonna to see what your relationship might be. And I was not happy to see you slagging her a few years ago.”. Williams didn’t know what Harlum was referring to, as he asked: “Did I? What did I say?”. “You kind of made some age cracks at her,” replied the host.
Williams, remembering the comments, seemed apologetic as he said: “That’s not nice. That’s not nice of me. Here’s the thing too, I absolutely adore her and love her.”. He continued. “The thing is about being a Nineties British person, of the day, how it was to be…it was wrestling. You did this thing in the press where – which made me me and made us us – but you know, you fill a space,”.
“And in the Nineties and the tail end of that, you sometimes filled a space sometimes by being mean, but funny.”. “There are quite a few times where I’ve done an unkind [thing] and so it was with Madonna.”. He clarified: “I adore her, I respect her, love her music, love everything about her, everything that she’s managed to do in her career.
