It doesn't matter what she said about TMB, die was cast once she insulted Mariah during the Daydream era. That cannot be erased no matter what fake comments she's made years latter.
I'm not trying to defend Madonna or anything, but I think people are allowed to change their opinion of others. I mean, haven't we all done that, didn't like somebody until we knew them better? Or vice-versa?
Perhaps at the time she thought Mariah was this studio-created artist that would soon go away. And after Mariah broke away and showed her independence and resilience, maybe she grew to at least respect her.
