New Delhi:
This is one mama who's not preaching. Material Girl Madonna, no stranger to controversy and that's putting it mildly, has caused a storm of outrage after Instagramming a picture of her 13-year-old son holding a bottle of alcohol. The photo shows Rocco Ritchie, Madonna's son with British director Guy Ritchie, clutching a bottle of gin and flanked by two young friends, both holding bottles of vodka. The caption reads: The party has just begun! Bring it! 2014.
Instagram users reacted with shock and censure.

Other users defended the popstar.

Madonna herself hit back in a subsequent Instagram caption: "No one was drinking we were just having fun! Calm down and get a sense of humor! Don't start the year off with judgement!"
The popstar and her children, who include 17-year-old Lourdes and eight-year-old Mercy and David apart from Rocco, are vacationing in Switzerland.
