Madonna has launched a legal fight to halt explicit letters she sent to a former boyfriend from going on display at a memorabilia exhibition in London next year.

Seventeen letters Madonna wrote to former bodyguard turned lover James Albright will join more than 300 articles of clothes, photographs, film props, costumes, and personal items belonging to the Material Girl on exhibit at the upcoming Simply Madonna Exhibition.

The letters are allegedly signed “Spanky” and sealed with a kiss.

“Who’d want private sentiments to someone they loved revealed? Lawyers sent a warning. She hopes it will work.”

The Simply Madonna Exhibition will be held at London’s Old Truman Brewery February 21 through March 22.
