Print TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. — Madonna’s homeless brother says he isn’t asking for — and doesn’t want — any help from his world-famous sister.
As he prepared for another night under the Union Street bridge, Anthony Ciccone, 55, bristled at any hint that he should lean on The Material Girl for a few bucks.
“I’m not looking to get a free hand-out because of my sister,” Ciccone told The Post. “I’m not looking for any publicity. If you’re here to get me to tell stories about my sister, that’s not who I am.”
When a reporter offered to buy him dinner last night, Ciccone politely refused. He said a network of church-based soup kitchens here keeps him fed.
“I don’t need a meal; the churches here take care of me,” he said.
Ciccone claimed to have once worked in the fishing business in Alaska and as a photographer’s assistant in New York.
In London yesterday, Madonna was booed outside the premiere of “W.E.” by fans who didn’t think she spent enough time on the red carpet talking to them.
