‘Lies’: Sinead O’Connor is being sued in the wake of Prince’s death

Sinead O'Connor was quick to weigh in on the high-profile discussion surrounding pop icon, Prince, following his untimely death last month, but it looks like her words may now cost her millions of dollars.

Taking to social media in the days following his death, the Nothing Compares 2 U singer urged investigators to focus their enquiries on Arsenio Hall who she claims supplied the Purple Rain singer with drugs for more than twenty years.

In light of Sinead's claims, the comedian filed a libel suit in a Los Angeles court, and if he wins, it's going to cost the Dublin-born singer a whole lot of spondulicks.

Outlining Arsenio's case, the suit explains "Desperate, attention seeker Sinead O'Connor has maliciously published outlandish defamatory lies about comedian Arsenio Hall, falsely accusing him of supplying illegal 'hard drugs' 'over the decades' to the recently deceased music artist, Prince, and of spiking her with drugs once years ago.” 

According to The Independent, Sinead is being sued for a whopping $5 million, with Arsenio insisting the singer's claims are 'brazen lies' and 'extraordinarily damaging'.
