Though still married to Sean, it's no secret that Madonna is dating
John Kennedy Jr. Their relationship won't survive the year's end.
While Madonna plays in Speed The Plow, she becomes good friends
with actrice Sandra Bernhard. The girls like to play, teasing the
press by suggesting they're a lesbian couple. Though some claim
Madonna rediscovers her sexuality during this period, she herself
has always said that it was only a game.
All the rumours make her marriage only worse, and it comes to a
dramatic climax when Sean puts Madonna through physical abuse on
Thanksgiving. Madonna files for divorse afterwards.
