Madonna ’s ex-girlfriend, model Jenny Shimizu, has revealed she felt like a “high-class hooker” while dating the singer in the ’90s.
Shimizu, 57, opened up about her romance with the Material Girl singer, for the final episode of Hulu documentary In Vogue.
Talking about the romance, she says she was at Madonna ’s beck and call.
She said: “I mean, you’re not gonna say no to Madonna in the ’90s.
“Not only was it great feeling like a high-class hooker — because really it was.”
Shimizu rose to fame in the early 1990s through her modelling career.
She had been working as a mechanic when she was approached to model for Calvin Klein in print ads before moving up to the runway.
Shimizu made history as she became the first Asian model to walk for Prada and was the first person of colour to open the show.
She claimed that while she and Madonna, 66, were seeing each other, the singer would reach out to her to meet her in fabulous places around the world.
“You’d get a phone call like, ‘Hey, can you meet me at my Paris show? You’re in Europe, right?’
“So I’d be like, ‘Yeah, I’m just finishing Prada. Right after Prada, I’ll catch a plane over,’” she said in the doc.
“And I would. I’d go over to her hotel, to the Ritz, at, like, 4 in the morning, have sex and then fly back to Milan.”
Shimizu joked, referring to wife Michelle Harper, to whom she tied the knot in 2014: “My wife is going to kill me.”
She also reflected on that time in her life in her 2023 memoir, regarding the physical relationship she had with Madonna.
“It wasn’t about an emotional bond, it was about taking each other to the heights of sexual ecstasy,” she wrote of her brief love affair with the Vogue singer. “I loved the fact that I was at this woman’s beck and call. It turned me on, being ordered to her room whenever she felt like sex.”
Madonna and Shimizu’s romance didn’t last long. During the 90s, the Grammy winner was also linked to Tupac Shakur, Dennis Rodman, Carlos Leon and ex-husband Guy Ritchie.
Madonna welcomed daughter Lourdes with Leon in 1996 and son Rocco with Ritchie in 2000.
Shimizu also had a relationship with Angelina Jolie.
The pair worked together in the 1996 film Foxfire. The following year, Jolie, 49, confirmed her romance with Shimizu.
“I fell in love with her the first second I saw her,” Jolie reportedly told Girlfriends magazine.
While Jolie had a connection to Shimizu at the time, she also was developing feelings for Jonny Lee Miller, whom she was married to from 1996 to 2000.
Long after her relationships with Madonna and Jolie, Shimizu met her current wife, Michelle Harper.
The couple tied the knot in 2014 after two years of dating.
