MADONNA's attempt to adopt a second child has been slammed by her former cook who says she ignores her other children.
Eric Lenco, worked for the Material Girl as her cook and house keeper, said he doesn't understand why she wants another child when she always puts herself first.
Madonna is mounting an appeal to after a judge turned down her attempt to adopt three year old Mercy James from Malawi earlier this month.
But Lenco said she barely spends any time with Lourdes, 12, Rocco, eight and adopted three-year-old David as she's too busy doing exercise.
He said: "When she's with the children, she is a devoted mum. She just doesn't spend much time with them.
"It's a puzzle why she wants to adopt again. She's hardly ever with her children. She's got two full-time nannies and one part-time nanny. So why adopt a kid when somebody else is raising them?
"She gets up and has a coffee, then she does two hours of yoga. Then there's two hours of pilates and exercise. That's six days a week. After that she deals with her email, her calls and the rest of her business. And after that, she spends maybe half an hour with the kids.
"Madonna puts herself before the kids. When she adopted little David, he arrived at her home from Africa, and three hours later, she left to do pilates. Wouldn't you think she'd want to spend the entire day with her new son?"
He also blames David's adoption for wrecking Madonna's marriage to director Guy Ritchie and added: "Madonna thought (David) would bring them together, but Guy was dead against adopting, so, for the marriage, it was the final nail in the coffin."
