The concert Madonna held to appease pissed off French people ended with the crowd calling her a slut

Madonna started an intimate gig in Paris by calling herself and a revolutionary, but by the end of the 8 song set, the crowd had another name for her: salope.
Translation? Slut. Whore. Bitch. Take your pick, really.
Here’s how it happened: Madonna’s been pissing people off (duh!) with her recent live shows, especially the part which features French nationalist Marine Le Pen pictured with a swastika across her face. The French National Front threatened to sue Madge and so she backpedalled, apologized, then scheduled a small-scale show at France’s Olympia as a sign of good faith.
But NME says tickets were of course still very expensive, which riled the crowd up when Madonna left the stage 45-minutes into her set. They were pissed, probably rightly so. Watch them chant for their money back (“Remboursez!”) before turning twice as sour 55-seconds in.
You can watch a rebroadcast of the concert below and decide for yourselves whether the gig was worth $300. They’re replaying it every hour until Midnight UK time (7PM Eastern).
