Madonna applies a totally GONZO filter in clapback video on Instagram calling out trolls for 'constantly criticizing' her online appearance: 'It's a free world'
True to form, she is not letting other people's opinions get in the way of doing what she wants to do.
And Madonna made it known that she was going to 'look any way that I want to look' on Instagram and beyond on Friday, when she shared an amusing selfie video to her Instagram feed which employed an absolutely bizarre filter that made her look like an anime character.
The Queen of Pop, 63, sported a fishnet top and cat eyeglasses for the video shared with her 16.5 million followers.

It wasn’t clear what exact makeup she was wearing, as the filter made her lips and eyes impossibly large and enhanced to the point of being cartoonish.
The filter also had a fun sparkle effect, momentarily forming hearts.
The focus, however, were Madonna's pointed words, which took aim at fans as well as trolls whom she feels are 'constantly criticizing' her.

'I just want to say to all my fans out there, and people who are trolling and stuff and constantly criticizing me because, "Oh my God, I’m using a filter!" and "Oh my God, I don’t look this way?!"' the Vogue icon began.
'Well, f**k off b**ches, because I’m gonna look any way that I wanna look, alright? It’s a free world. And you’re not in charge,' Madonna continued.
'In fact, I’m not even in charge!' she added cheekily. 'But I’m still going to do whatever I want, so deal with it, OK?

'And finally, I just want to say that I am rising above. I’m rising above all the stuff and I’m connecting to my perfected soul,' her Madgesty concluded.
'And I just love you all. I love you all. That’s it. So there. Muah!'
The testimonial comes after the superstar diva uploaded stylish and moody video from the back of a taxi cab earlier in the week, in the Greta Garbo-inspired getup she had on for her much-publicized MTV VMAs promo shoot in Times Square, New York.

The snippet, set to a beautiful yet mournful saxophone solo playing Bernard Herrmann, showed Madonna sporting a flawless alabaster complexion, which some pointed out was a rather heavy filter.
Various publications, this one included, went so far as to compare stills from the selfie video against photos taken the same day of the star while she was filming, pointing out the inherent differences.
Madonna was spotted shooting the promo in Times Square very early this past Tuesday morning at 3AM EST.
