Sinead O’Connor has died

Really struggled for years with mental health (and physical health issues) -- horrific abuse at the hands of her mother, BPD.

As she once said, she went straight from an abusive childhood into the music business (she was locked up for 1.5 years in the Magdelene Asylum as a teen for shoplifting) and never had the proper time and space to heal.

Her son died by suicide a few years ago, which gutted her.

She had a full hysterectomy recently for painful endometriosis, which triggered memories of her childhood abuse and when she was released from hospital had a breakdown threatening to kill herself on social media.

RIP, Sinead. She really had the voice of an angel.

I had no idea. Poor woman, RIP

Kudos to Morrissey for calling out the hypocrisy of the music industry and celebs only heralding Sinead’s artistry after her death. The link contains his bold criticism of those who failed to support her when she was alive. He’s not wrong.

Truth!

totally agree. She was 'cancelled' long before that term was used. It is disgusting how she was treated and how people turned their back on her. That only added to her tragedy. Not just the music industry and other celebrities but the media as a whole. They can shape you or break you.

Actually her mother has a lot to answer for. When she put her in a home run by Catholic nuns, one of them spotted she could sing, bought her a guitar and got her lessons.

I'm still going with Catholic Church has a lot to answer for. So many children molested.

Morrissey is a big old racist.

Not to be pedantic (which means I am), Morrissey isn’t a racist. He’s a bigot.

She had nothing else good to say about that home, aside from the lovely nun with the guitar, and described the ways that they abused and shamed her. Please don't rewrite history for this woman who lived so honestly.

I am not rewriting anything, if you knew about that nun you should have mentioned her, not lumped her in with a bunch of seedy criminals.

DP. Right, and that nun continued to participate in the prison camps where she was held against her will, and exploited, and harmed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magdalene_asylum

Magdalene asylums, also known as Magdalene laundries, were initially Protestant but later mostly Roman Catholic institutions that operated from the 18th to the late 20th centuries, ostensibly to house "fallen women". The term referred to female sexual promiscuity or work in prostitution, young women who became pregnant outside of marriage, or young girls and teenagers who did not have familial support. They were required to work without pay apart from meagre food provisions, while the institutions operated large commercial laundries, serving customers outside their bases.

Many of these "laundries" were effectively operated as penitentiary workhouses. The strict regimes in the institutions were often more severe than those found in prisons.

I don't need your wiki pages on the Magdalene laundries. I'm from Ireland. You can F off.

Regardless, he isn’t wrong about the hypocrisy of the industry canceling her and all of a sudden calling her an icon now that she is dead.

Two things can be true, right?

This. No one stood up for her when the hordes came for her. It ruined her career.

And Morrissey is the only artist currently saying this out loud in a public way.

I wonder if the two were friends or if he ever reached out to her?

And she was right about the Catholic Church and pope. They hid and moved priest around to save the church’s reputation.
