Troubled ’90s music star Sinead O’Connor posted a series of accusations on Facebook Monday, claiming that comedian Arsenio Hall supplied Prince with drugs over the years.
O’Connor’s assertions are threefold: that the late Prince was a “long-time hard drug user,” that Arsenio Hall was or is a drug dealer to the stars, and apparently O’Connor was “spiked” at Hall’s house years ago (“spiked” referring to something being put in her drink).
Hall quickly denied the accusations to People magazine, and his rep Traci Harper said, “The statement regarding Arsenio Hall is absolutely false, ridiculous and absurd.”

O’Connor has yet to reply to Hall’s denial. This isn’t the first time O’Connor has had bizarre, unexpected outbursts on social media. In December 2015, her Facebook page was shut down after she made a series of suicidal posts.
The Irish singer has made multiple threats to take her own life. In 2011, she posted suicidal tweets from her Twitter account. O’Connor has had a long history of mental illness and depression.
Iconic musician Prince died on April 21 at the age of 57, and there has been much speculation about the cause of his death. An autopsy has been performed, but results aren’t expected for three to four weeks.
Many reports claimed that prescription drugs were discovered with Prince’s body when he was found dead in his Paisley Park home in suburban Minneapolis.
The music megastar’s death came less than a week after reports that his plane made an emergency landing in Moline, Illinois, as he returned after performing in Atlanta. TMZ, citing unidentified sources, reported that Prince was treated for an overdose of the painkiller Percocet.
