Sinead O’Connor Is Posting Suicidal Videos From A Sleazy Motel Room In Jersey.

Sigh.

Oh Sinead. Sinead, Sinead, Sinead.

I just read that Sinead O’Connor is posting suicidal Facebook videos (again), and even though she’s a MESS and lost her mind on stage and ripped up a Pope picture back in the day, there is teeny tiny soft spot in my heart for her, because she sang Nothing Compares 2 U and Prince wrote that and I loved Prince so much.

So yeah. I feel sorry for her. She is a MESS.

I’ve gone back and forth about whether or not to share her full video, because it’s heart-wrenching and sad and utterly unhinged, but she posted it with the intention of helping others somehow with it, and so for that reason, I feel like it’s appropriate to share. If you watch, it’s on you. I’ve told you what it’s about.

I sent a note to our writer chat group on Facebook to alert them of this news, and Hannah, GOD BLESS ‘ER, wrote, “I feel really bad because I have no idea who she is.” At which point I exploded into laughter because I forget how YOUNG our writing team is, and she said, “I NEVER KNOW WHO ANYONE IS. HALP.”

So there’s your explanation for why I’m writing this post, and they’re not (although to be fair, Kimber knew all about Nothing Compares 2 U AND the Pope-picture incident.)

According to the sourcelink, Sinead was diagnosed with bipolar disorder 10+ years ago, and is very open, as she is in the video above, about her mental illness. You may recall that she went missing last year and there were fears she was suicidal at that time, but she was found by police at a hotel. And, in 2015, she posted on Facebook that she’d taken a bunch of pills in a hotel in Ireland, but police found her safe and sound. She was apparently in a mental health hospital after that for a bit, but that’s according to another Facebook post, so who really knows.

Anyway, I wish her the best. Yikes.
