Madonna at least temporarily stopped an upcoming auction of a prison break-up letter from rapper Tupac Shakur and a note in which she called singer Whitney Houston and actress Sharon Stone ‘horribly mediocre’.
The ‘Rebel Heart’ singer filed a request in New York Supreme Court on Tuesday for a temporary restraining order against New York auction house Gotta Have It Collectibles to halt its sale, due to start on Wednesday.
Madonna said in court documents that she was not aware until reading press reports that many of the items listed for auction, including the letter from her former boyfriend Shakur, were no longer in her possession.
In the two-and-a-half-page letter, dated January 1995 and written at a time Shakur was in prison for sexual assault, he wrote that he had ended their romance because he felt that dating a white woman could jeopardize his career.
