Why did Rupert Everett and Madonna fall out?

Former friends Rupert Everett and Madonna fell out in 2006, after Everett made public a secret between Madonna and Sean Penn, in his memoir Red Carpets and Other Banana Skins.

The “Queen of Pop” didn’t like the book and felt “it was an infringement of privacy.”

Also, in the memoir, Rupert had referred to Madonna as “an old whiny barmaid”, but according to Everett, the term “old whiny barmaid” was meant to be a compliment.

“…the thing about Madonna when she was very young was she can’t talk like that half the time, you know, and she really got guys like that. And she was really charming. That wasn’t meant to be rude actually”, Everett had explained during an interview.
