Sinead O'Connor says Prince tried to beat her up once when he was on dark drugs: 'It was a very frightening experience'
Sinead O'Connor has claimed that she was almost beaten up by Prince during a drug charged attack.
O'Connor's hit song titled 'Nothing Compares 2 U' was written by Prince who had passed away due to an accidental drug overdose in 2016. On one occasion when O'Connor met Prince, things did not go so well. While appearing on 'Good Morning Britain', O'Connor was asked about Prince.
She was asked by hosts Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid whether she had ever met the late singer. O'Connor responded by saying, "We met once but we didn't get on very well, we tried to beat each other up. We didn't get on too well." A horrified Piers Morgan then asks whether they really tried to beat each other up.
O'Connor then revealed, "Well it was more that he was trying to beat me up and I was defending myself." GMB host Susanna Reid confirmed that it was not a joke to which O'Connor shared that she was genuinely scared and it was a "frightening experience." "In Los Angeles, he summoned me to his house one night and I foolishly went along not knowing where I was," O'Connor said.
She recalled how Prince was uncomfortable that she was not his "protege" and made demands to her. Their situation and conversation turned violent and "he went upstairs and got a pillow and he had something hard in the pillow and I ran out of his house," O'Connor said. She remembered how he chased her around his car and how he was trying to punch her.
"Then I had to go and ring someone's doorbell which is what my father always told me to do if I got in a situation like that. He was into some pretty dark drugs... I never saw or heard from him again after that," she revealed. O'Connor also revealed that she was not the only one he had taken a swing at and at the time, one of the girls in his band was in the hospital with broken ribs.
Prince passed away at the age of 57 and was found alone and unresponsive in an elevator in his Paisley Park home in 2016.
