"I am not a violent person, I do not promote violence and it's important people hear and understand my speech in it's entirety rather than one phrase taken wildly out of context," she wrote on her social media account.

"My speech began with 'I want to start a revolution of love.' I then go on to take this opportunity to encourage women and all marginalized people to not fall into despair but rather to come together and use it as a starting point for unity and to create positive change in the world." said Madonna.

"I spoke in metaphor and I shared two ways of looking at things, one was to be hopeful, and one was to feel anger and outrage, which I have personally felt." The pop star added.

"However, I know that acting out of anger doesn't solve anything. And the only way to change things for the better is to do it with love." Madonna added further.
