text: Madonna‘s teenage son may be rebelling over his headstrong mom’s controlling ways, RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal. 
   
   Rocco, who refused to leave his father Guy Ritchie‘s home in London to celebrate Christmas with Madonna in New York, has always lived under his mother’s strict rules. 
   
   “Madonna is a very good mother, but she’s mega controlling,” a source close to the pop icon, 57, told Radar. “She actively tells him what he can and can’t do, who he can and can’t talk to.”

   Though Guy’s lawyer told Page Six that the 15-year-old “expressed very clearly” that he does not want to return to New York, friends of the singer insisted that the mother/son duo share a “very close” relationship. 
   
   He especially took to his mom’s chosen religion, Kabbalah, a church insider claimed. 
   
   Rocco was “actively involved” with Kabbalah’s New York Centre, where Madonna is a frequent attendee.

   However, “some days, he acted like a typical teen— aloof,” the insider said. 
   
   No matter Rocco’s feelings, a New York judge ruled that the disgruntled teenager must return home to his mother before school begins in January. 
   
   “Madonna pulls the strings, calls the shots,” the source explained. “She’s a hawk in leather leggings.”

   As Radar previously reported, Rocco “ran away” from his mother’s Rebel Heart tour stop in Stockholm last month following “shouting matches” between them. 
   
   “Rocco doesn’t want to be with her,” an insider said. “He wants to be with this dad.” ||||| Madonna Guy Ritchie Trash Talked Me to Rocco 
   
   Madonna: Guy Ritchie Trash Talked Me to Rocco 
   
   EXCLUSIVE 
   
   Guy Ritchie got in Rocco's ear and drove a wedge between Madonna and the 15-year-old ... sources close to Madonna tell TMZ. 
   
   We're told Guy and Madonna have had a "volatile" relationship for years, and Rocco has been a source of conflict. Madonna, we're told, is a strict disciplinarian and "very controlling" ... something that doesn't sit well with Rocco and for that matter most 15 year olds. 
   
   Our Madonna sources say Guy was angry at Madonna and used his visit with Rocco to stoke the coals, and it worked. 
   
   We're told Madonna isn't worried ... she's confident Rocco's coming back home for good, and this is just part of the co-parenting hand she's been dealt. ||||| The Material Girl likes to control her own image but has no problems posting embarrassing snaps of her rebellious son for her millions of followers. 
   
   Whether it’s a picture of 15-year-old Rocco Ritchie in pigtails or a video of him doing a back flip into a pool with the caption, “Rocco’s preferred profile #nosausage,” some speculate that Madge’s oversharing has sparked the rift that landed in Manhattan Supreme Court last week. 
   
   The teen spent the summer on his mom’s Rebel Heart Tour before running away this month to his director dad’s London home. 
   
   The singer, who has 5.5 million Instagram followers, convinced a judge to force Rocco to spend Christmas in New York with her, but Rocco refused the order.

   The two both made waves on Instagram Friday, with Madonna posting a picture of herself and Rocco with the message “Merry X-mas to the Sun-shine of my Life!” and Rocco telling a friend he was staying in London before blocking his account from public view. 
   
   In September the mother of four put a picture on Instagram of Rocco with his long blond hair up in buns and with sunglasses on. The #nosausage shot was in May, with the teen wearing an orange swimsuit. 
   
   True to form, Madonna posted pictures of her kids on Instagram on Christmas — but not Rocco. 
   
   Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Deborah Kaplan ruled that Rocco — who spent Christmas with dad Guy Ritchie, Ritchie’s new wife, Jacqui Ainsley, and the couple’s three young kids — must return to New York to face his mom. 
   
   There is also a pending court proceeding in the United Kingdom, where Rocco has his own lawyer. Madonna and Ritchie split in 2008.

   While performing in Sweden on Saturday, the 57-year-old singer shared a moving message to the packed Tele 2 Arena in Stockholm, asking them to observe a moment of silence for the victims of the heartbreaking attacks.

   "It's been very hard for me to get through this show up to this point and not forget about what happened last night," she said in a video that was posted to YouTube by her manager on Saturday. "I need to take this moment to acknowledge the tragedy, the tragic killings, assassinations and the senseless endings of precious life that occurred last night in Paris." 
   
   "It's been really hard, actually, to get through the show, because in many ways, I feel torn. Like, why am I up here dancing and having fun when people are crying over the loss of their loved ones," she continued. "However, that is exactly what these people want to do. They want to shut us up. They want to silence us. And we won't let them. We will never let them, because there is power in unity, and I do believe that as much chaos and pain and senseless violence and terrorism that occurs around this world, not just in Paris, as much as that that does occur, there is more goodness in this world. We are here to prove it." 
   
   Audience members clapped and cheered in support of Madonna's statements, clearly moved by her words.

   Madonna, who visibly teared up during her speech, went on to say that she felt conflicted about performing on Saturday and considered cancelling her show. 
   
   "I was gonna cancel my show tonight but then I thought to myself, 'Why should I give that to them? Why should I allow them to stop me and to stop us from enjoying freedom?" she told the audience. "All of the places where people were killed were places where people were having fun, people were enjoying themselves, eating in restaurants, dancing, singing, watching a soccer match." 
   
   "These are freedoms that we take for granted of course and we must not but they're freedoms that we deserve. We work hard, and we deserve to have fun, and there is no one in this world that should have the right to stop us from doing what we love!" she added. 
   
   Madonna then asked the audience to join her in a minute of silence for the victims in Paris before she sang an emotional version of "Like a Prayer."

   After the concert, Madonna later took to Instagram to thank the crowd for their love. 
   
   "Thank you Stockholm! Tonight's show was difficult but there was so much love in this arena it made me feel like we were turning darkness into light," she wrote. "And that is our jobs as human beings!"

   More than 100 people have been killed in the city-wide attacks on Paris, with hundreds more hospitalized. President Francois Hollande called the tragedy -- which ISIS has since claimed responsibility for -- "an act of war." 
   
   U2 was originally supposed to perform two shows in Paris on Saturday. After cancelling the sold-out concerts, the band visited the makeshift memorial site near the Bataclan concert venue, where many were injured and killed during an Eagles of Death Metal concert, on Saturday to pay their respects. ||||| Madonna Rocco Says Mom Treated Me Like a Trophy ...

   Madonna: Rocco Says Mom Treated Me Like a Trophy ... Not a Son 
   
   EXCLUSIVE 
   
   Madonna's son didn't have to be sold by Guy Ritchie when the 15-year-old made the decision to stay in London ... we're told Rocco was fed up with the singer, her lifestyle and her parenting skills. 
   
   Sources who were on Madonna's tour tell us, Rocco was "miserable" being carted around the world by his mom. As one source put it, "There were horrible, full-blown fights with screaming and crying." 
   
   We're told during the Stockholm leg of the tour, Rocco was a no-show when the charter plane was ready to take off ... he had made an escape run, but it appears he eventually came back. 
   
   Things deteriorated during the London shows in December. Rocco told his dad he couldn't handle it anymore ... he couldn't take the traveling and the fights. Our sources say Rocco told Guy he felt like Madonna treated him more like a trophy than a son. 
   
   Rocco now thinks his mom is jealous of his dad's "stable life" and his desire to live with his dad. 
   
   Rocco has been ordered to return to NYC for a court hearing. It will be interesting to hear if his bad feelings dissipate and how much the judge considers his living preference. ||||| Madonna‘s son Rocco Ritchie will be home for Christmas — at least if the pop diva has her way! She went to court in New York Wednesday to get a judge’s order forcing him to fly back to New York for the holidays, and now, only RadarOnline.com has all the inside details about their explosive family feud. 
   
   According to an insider, the trouble started when Rocco, 15, “ran away in Stockholm.” Madonna’s Rebel Heart Tour, with son Rocco in tow, stopped there in mid-November. 
   
   “M and Rocco were having bad shouting matches,” the insider explained. “She’d be crying and yelling at him.”

   Despite traveling with his mom on the tour for months, Rocco, “doesn’t want to be with her. He wants to be with this dad,” Guy Ritchie, the source said. 
   
   So when the tour stopped in London the first week in December, Rocco took the opportunity to make a break for it. 
   
   “He took off for his dad’s house and hasn’t seen her since,” the source said. 
   
   Swinging into action, Madonna, 57, fired his “manny” over it, according to the source, and had emergency meetings with her attorneys in London, to no avail.

   “She couldn’t get an order that would require Rocco to return to her house,” the source said. 
   
   Wednesday, a Manhattan judge finally issued an order demanding Rocco “face his mother” in the U.S., but it remains to be seen if he’ll show up in time for the holidays. 
   
   “He has expressed very clearly that he does not want to return to New York,” Ritchie’s attorney Eric Buckley told Page Six. 
   
   And a source close to the case claimed that Rocco might go against Judge Kaplan‘s orders. 
   
   Story developing.
target: – Madonna's 15-year-old son has been ordered by a judge to return to his famous mom in New York, though it's not clear whether Rocco Ritchie—who, his lawyers have said, would much rather stay with dad Guy Ritchie—has actually complied with said order. Sources have been saying Rocco had no plans to return to his mom; he's not pictured in any of the Christmas Day snaps of her kids that Madonna shared on Instagram (though she did also share an older picture of Rocco with the caption, "Merry X-mas to the Sun-shine of my Life!"); and Page Six reports that he spent the holiday with his dad and told a friend, via Instagram, that he was staying in London. So what's the problem? As TMZ reports, it sounds like pretty typical teenage stuff. Sources say Rocco is "miserable" having to be on tour with his mom, and that many "horrible, full-blown fights with screaming and crying" have taken place. Radar also reports the teen was fed up with how "controlling" his mom is. Rocco has also reportedly said that his mom treats him like a trophy, not a son. And Page Six notes that Madonna's oversharing may be part of the problem: Among other things, she's posted things like a picture of Rocco in pigtails and a snap of him in a bathing suit with the hashtag, "#nosausage." Of course, there are also the sources telling TMZ that, per Madonna, this is all Guy Ritchie's fault and that he's trying to come between mother and son by trash-talking Madonna to Rocco.
