No ...it's not ok that she did that...I never said that. I think arsineo is right for suing her...it will eventually help with helping her.

But she is a human being with a mental illness. She does deserve respect and kindness and maybe a little help.

It's not like she Dennis raider or Charley Manson or the fucker who kidnapped those three girls and help them prisoner for over an decade and then was chickshit enuff to kill himself. She talked trash on the internet...

Sinead has bipolar disorder and talked a little trash during an episode. Put it in perspective. Y'all sound more evil that she does...at least she has bipolar as the reason behind it. A disease that's caused many the route of suicide...she's still here...surviving. Making mistakes...but surviving despite her disease. And y'all seem to consider her a monster cuz she what...?...said something mean about your hero? Some of y'all sound worse than her. I mean someone wished her dead...wtf!

She's a human being...not a unhuman entity u can throw your I'm-pissed-and-angry-cuz-prince-has-passed hate at. Y'all come off just as bad as her and she has a disease!

I kinda get it..I'm mad too that p Prince has passed and I miss him like crazy tho I've never even touched him...but just try to tone it down some and utilize a little understanding... She's human..she deserves a little understanding too?

If she's making all this up, what I don't get is, of all people, why she picked Arsenio? Just randomly out of the blue or does she know something we don't?

Hall cracked jokes about people...Rosanne Barr was one, but they reconcilled. I think that rivalry grew nasty for awhile. Also half-truths and exaggerations:Did She and Hall hang-out Grammy Week? Did he freak-out on her for not attending? Maybe.

I remember Herb Albert disapproved too...

Exaggerations mixed with some truth are still lies, and maybe more dangerous.

Again, she said her children "turned against" her months ago...Is that truth?

Oh God. Hopefully he's just trying to scare her into shutting-the-fuck-up, and will drop this soon enough. It's obvious she's not well, and this could push her over the edge.

Nah, Arsenio needs the money

They probably couldn't handle dealing with her untreated mental illness any more...

A lot of sexism in this thread. smh. Fuck Arsenio. I support Sinead. She's telling the truth anyway I believe.

You have to take anyone that is as mentally ill as her with more than a grain of salt. Her story about Prince has continued to grow, to the point of her claiming his eyes turning all black, and that he was possessed. Setting aside the obvious disconnect from reality in this story, this wasn't part of her original claims...the story has gotten far more fanciful over the years. I truly think SHE believes what she is saying, but I don't think she has the ability to distinguish between fantasty and reality anymore.

She claimed her children turned against her, which is a frequent claim of paranoid schitzophrenics when their loved ones try to get them the help they need. She's threatened self-harm several times as well. It's obvious to me that this woman desperately needs professional help, and I hope that she gets it soon. I honestly feel bad for both her & her family.

Why do u say sexism? It has NOTHING 2 do with the fact that Sinead is a woman. If it was a man saying these things about Arsenio & Prince I wud still cuss him out. I wish that Prince had never given her ' Nothing Compares 2 U '. She did not deserve such an amazing song.

She is only famous because Prince wrote a beautiful song and she was EXTREMELY lucky to get to sing it.



So stupidly, she tastelessly tries to stir up at every opportunity.. any thing to do with the man himself.



And now she really has shown her true colours by going as low as she possibly could.. that is trying to turn the spotlight on herself in the death of our Prince.



Very sad lady. I actually feel sorry for her she is very deluded.

She's actually quite talented, her album before Nothing Compares to You, it's called The Lion and the Cobra and is PHENOMENAL...

She has always said some mean spirited stuff about Prince. I believe there was definitely something that went down between these two but we may never know the truth. She should have handled this privately. Why would you alert someone to a DEA raid? I don't necessarily believe her but if she was telling the truth AH had time to cover his tracks.

If Prince fans know anything, sometimes you have to separate an artists personally/politics from the actual art. To disparage SOC talent is wrong. Prince wouldn't have given her the song if he wasn't impressed by her. Her voice is amazing.

I do wish she hadn't gone public with these accusations. That was super tasteless.
Surprise, surprise.
Another treat. Another trick.

Correct me I may be wrong but I don't think Prince gave her the song ,she just did a cover of the song he wrote for The Family. Didn't he just get ownership of his masters ?

1, You, or anyone else, don't KNOW if she's lying or not.

2, And whether she's lying or not is irrelevent to the issue of the aggressive sexism that is being indulged here.

[Edited 5/6/16 20:44pm]

I agree, besides I've heard some thiing about Arsenio Hall that are out there too. When it comes to the world of celebrities, you never know who is telling the truth. Remember, these (celebs that is) are the people that hire "fixers" when something about them has been revealed. How many of them have lied, saying something was a lie about them, only later for the public to learn that it was indeed true?

Prince didn't "give" her the song.She covered it.

as for her "talent" that you speak of....if she is such an amazing,gifted artist,how come most of us can't name any of her follow-up singles? hmmm She is s mediocre singer who had one big hit single.

well, to be fair, she did release another few very good albums (universal mother, faith & courage,
how about i be me and you be you) and some pretty nice ones inbetween and after.

i've always enjoyed her music, she is indeed gifted in that area.

however, she's also always had serious mental health issues. her fixation on prince is weird and
scary. at this point i think she truly believes her own story, no matter how much she added to it
over the years. she told it so many times that she now believes this alternate version of events.
something happened between them that wasn't pleasant for her, but it wasn't how she tells it
these days.

she even sings about it in the song "where have you been", quite a nice song. but i don't believe
for one second that prince's eyes went all white and he had NO pupils at all lol etc etc etc.

she has issues, she's ill. it's a sad situation for her and her family. but she should also STFU with
this nonsense about prince.

and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

She was an alternative indie type artist who said controversial things and was bald. If all you listened to was top 40 rado then yes you'd probably think she was a one hit wonder but no she was already an established artist (not just a "singer")even before NC2U. You probably won't but you should check out Mandinga, Stretched on your grave and Black Boys on Mopeds.

She's been found, after going missing.

I hope she gets some rest, and deactivates her Facebook account until she's feeling better. I really don't think that Facebook is conducive to mental health, if you have ongoing issues with manic or depressive episodes.

Call them all out, or shut-it.





Wonder if she will post something? If she is truly crazy she will



Appears she went over the edge again. Latest article says she went on a bike ride Sunday and didn't return. Cops listed her as "missing suicidal". Found her in a hotel today and I believe took her to the hospital. I pray she gets the help she needs.

Police in suburban Chicago found Sinead safe. They refused to comment further though so who knows? She is currently staying with friends in Wilmette, IL and apparently one of them reported her missing.

I'm glad he did. Put him out there as a drug dealer and Prince as an addict basically saying he caused his death? I wouldn't let it ride either

It all depends...it can greatly change, for the positive, a mentally ill persons life as well. When I was crazy depressed it helped me to reach out to people which lifted me a couple steps.
