My understanding of the US law is that it's pretty hard to make a defamation action stick because of the "absence of malice" defence. With that said, I admire anyone prepared to fight for his good name.

If Prince can forgive Chris Brown, we can forgive Sinead.

I doubt that Sinead's comments hurt anybody. It's not like anybody would have taken her ramblings seriously!

It's more hard to love, than it is to hate!

Prince wouldn't want you all baying for blood. Maybe in his younger days, he'd have slapped her again. lol But latter-day Prince would have just tweeted some cryptic comment, and ignored the craziness.

Well, P might have, but that doesn't mean Eddie or Arsenio should. Arsenio (and Eddie) should teach her a lesson and drag her through the court system for a few months. See if they can't get her to think about drawing a line on that "crazy" routine.

I think she really is mentally ill. I feel really bad for her.

She might do something silly, if under the pressure of a $5M lawsuit. Nobody deserves to die, because they're ill. neutral

I think you're right. However, would prince have tolerated being called a long term drug addict? I doubt it. I think behind the scenes he would have got his lawyers to shut her down.

In a moment whe there's potentially a criminal investigation going on to find if someone gave drugs (medical type or otherwise) to P, I think Arsenio did the only possible thing. I mean, this is not regular gossip, a man died i still unclear circumstances. She maybe ill but that's not a moment where you can go "let them think what they want". I think he's right in strongly deny this possibility.

She already went over the edge a little while back didn't she? Maybe they will meet and talk things out? Hopefully.

Wish her nothing but wellness.

But in this life, nobody should waste their precious time trying to reason with crazy.

how do you talk 2 a wackado?

Why would they have to talk anything out, they don't know each other

She's an idiot, and the only thing that would come of them talking is him probably wanting to hit her

My opinion: Ms. O'Conner probably knows far more Coke-heads and Addicts than Mr. Nelson.

Call them all out, or shut-it.

But you made us smile! And if you got into Prince's music in the 2000s and live in Europe (where the show is not on tv) and see the name... Yeah, I can understand. Have you ever seen the movie Coming to America? Arsenio plays next to Eddie Murphy there.

I think it was necessary for Arsenio to do this...and I watched an interview form years back where he had her on his show when she just hit big, she was so wide eyed and delicate and stunningly beautiful.... and its so sad to see her in such a dark corner of her mind.

Its wrong what she did but she is/was such a troubled soul. I think Prince would urge us to forgive.

Bingo. She has to prove it. And by the way, 4 what reason did this person pop up at a time like this? Wasn't she in the closet somewhere.

He still works. But suing does two things, its not simply to recoup any potential losses due to hurt reputation, it also demonstrates to the public --who before his lawsuit only heard her "tale"-- that he in fact isn't involved in any stupid dealings like that. You can't simply let someone make a really damaging statement like that and not take a strong stance against it. If I were his lawyer I would have advised EXACTLY what he's doing now. Silence would be like admitting guilt, not suing would be only slightly better but its still being passive in the face of the accusation. Suing is the only smart decision in cases like this.

Change it one more time..

Sinead O Conner is mentally ill. Diagnosed. Have a little bit of compassion for the woman. And there is no one on here who knows the truth but arsenio hall and sinead o'conner. And God.

yes she very nearly committed suicide last year. I don't think she should be pushed like THIS. There has to be another route to take.

Regardless of someone's mental state they cannot throw around reckless accusations that could negatively impact someone else's life. She stated that she called the authorities, FFS. People need to stop pretending that she is harmless and excusing her actions that could possibly lead to an innocent person coming under law enforcement scrutiny.

It would be seen as suspicious if Arsenio didn't push back.

Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise.
