VIDEO : Madonna Submits Declaration in Court

On Thursday, Sean Penn filed an amended complaint in his defamation lawsuit against Empire co-creator and Oscar-nominated filmmaker Lee Daniels. The court documents now come with a declaration from pop superstar Madonna herself that Penn never struck her during their relationship in the 1980s. In a September interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Daniels attempted to defend Empire star Terrence Howard over media reports of domestic trouble. "Daniels told THR, [Terrence] ain't done nothing different than Marlon Brando or Sean Penn, and all of a sudden he's some f?in' demon."
