(Radio.com) About a week after Prince died in Minnesota, Sinead O'Connor posted on Facebook that the singer was a "long time hard drug user" who "got his drugs over the decades" from Arsenio Hall, implying that he had contributed to the downfall and subsequent death of Prince last April.
The comedian denied the claims and his reps filed a $5 million defamation lawsuit that described O'Connor as a "desperate, attention-seeker � now known perhaps as much for her bizarre, unhinged internet rants as for her music," reports TMZ.
In response, O'Connor wrote another inflammatory post: "I do not like drugs killing musicians. And I do not like Arsenio Hall. He can suck my d�. That is if he isn't too busy sucking someone else's d�." she wrote.
Now, almost a year later, she has retracted her statements. Read her new comments here.
