Bridgehampton - The pop star Madonna was released from Southampton Hospital Saturday afternoon after suffering minor injuries and bruises from a fall while horseback riding at photographer Steve Klein's West Kill Farm in Bridgehampton. According to accounts which are now being disputed, a freelance photographer startled the horse Madonna was riding when he reportedly emerged from a hedgerow to snap a photograph.

According to press accounts, publicist Liz Rosenberg relayed the incident in a statement claiming Madonna's horse was startled by paparazzi. The freelance photographer in question has countered that his view was obstructed from where he parked on Scuttle Hole Road and since he did not have a clear shot he opted to leave. Upon seeing an ambulance arrive at the scene he reportedly returned to take a photograph.

The Southampton Town police and Bridgehampton Fire Department Ambulance arrived at 1971 Scuttle Hole Road at 4:24 p.m. Saturday and transported Madonna Ciccone to Southampton Hospital where she was treated for minor injuries and released a few hours later. According to the police report filed at Southampton Town headquarters, Madonna fell from a horse, resulting in an unknown injury.

Sgt. Herbert Johnson said police were not allowed to comment on Madonna's condition, only to say that police usually caution all incident victims to go to the hospital as a precautionary measure. According to Johnson, scuttlebut in the police department alluded to the incident being caused by papparazzi at the scene, although that has not been confirmed.

The 50-year-old international pop singer, who has suffered horse riding injuries in the past, was weekending in the Hamptons, reportedly staying with friend Gwyneth Paltrow at her home in Amagansett.

The horse was either tired of her being on top or sick of being compared to Dennis Rodman.
