Sinead O'Connor converted to Islam

It's both reasons. From the article Spartanmack posted: She added: “It wasn’t the only reason, but it was one of them.”

per the article, that was not in reference to any sexual abuse in the church, it was in reference to the prison like treatment she and the other girls received at the facility. In the previous paragraphs the only reference to sexual abuse was about how some of the girls there had been raped at home and not believed and sent to the Nuns and treated like prisoners rather than victims.

The issue was clearly that victims of abuse were sent there then treated like prisoners in horrible conditions, which if you read the article, by her own telling don't seem particularly horrible. In that article, the examples of the abuse she suffered had nothing to do with sexual assault of any kind. She claimed that the abuse came in the form of being told what a bad person she was, yelled at and forced to sit in a room w/ a bunch of creepy looking old and dying nuns.

It's not both. And Sinead O'Connor is batshit crazy.

But it's also not the only reason.


"The rock star explained how her 18 months in High Park in the Drumcondra suburb of Dublin left her so angry at the injustice that it was part of the reason she caused worldwide controversy by tearing up a picture of the Pope on live television."

Um yeah, she’s been in the public spotlight for at least a couple of decades and her mental health issues have been the subject of public scrutiny and discussion for much of that time.

I think the term “bat shit crazy” is kind of the clinical consensus among mental health experts in describing her.

Thanks good to know

I don't really follow the personal lives of Hollywood stars or musicians all that much so I honestly didn't know any of that.

OK but that doesn't mean the other reason(s) is sexual abuse within/from the Church no matter how much mc wants it to be. There is no specific reference to the sexual abuse by the Church from Sinead O'Connor in the early 90s. It simply not true to say that's what she said she was protesting.
