Rumours arose that her ex-husband Guy Ritchie referred to Madonna as 'It', using it as an insult, during their marriage reported UK entertainment website, Bang Showbiz on Tuesday.

"She's received the packages at all of her addresses so she suspects they are from somebody she knows. And she is furious," the website reported a source said.

She has also received 50 copies of the novel by Stephen King, which the movie is based on. The book is about a child murdering clown.

"It's been said that Guy compared her to Pennywise the clown, the evil monster with the dodgy make-up," the source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper.

"But now her homes are full of reminders and she doesn't know how to get rid of them."

The newspaper reported last week that Ritchie used the offensive name even before he and Madonna separated.

'He told people, 'We can't make 'It' angry'. Or Guy would say, 'Oh, 'It' is in a bad mood today'. There is absolutely no love lost between them," said the source.
