Madonna's estranged brother, Anthony Ciccone, 56, is a homeless alcoholic who has lived on the freezing streets of Traverse City, Michigan for almost three years.
"Madonna doesn't give a s-t if I'm dead or alive," Ciccone told the Daily Mail. "She lives in her own world. I never loved her in the first place, she never loved me. We never loved each other."
Ciccone spends his time drinking alcohol from paper bags, just 12 miles away from the Ciccone family Vineyard, where his father and step-mother live.
Apparently Ciccone was recently thrown in jail for a month after an incident in which he was intoxicated and swearing at children in front of a church.
He blames his family for the tragic situation.
But neighbour Kathy Mateyer, who works in the Ciccone family vineyard's wine tasting room, tells a different story. In her eyes, Madonna and Anthony's father is devastated by Anthony's failure to get help for his alcoholism, and refuse to allow him back until he stops drinking.
Though it may sound as if Madonna, 54, is heartless when it comes to her older brother, the songstress, whose wealth recently reached the $1 billion mark, has apparently tried to reach out to Ciccone several times. Meteyer said the superstar paid for her brother's rehab stints "several times."
His father and other siblings have attempted to reach out to Anthony repeatedly.
"Anthony just won't accept help," Meteyer continued.
