Sinead O'Connor called "bulls--t" on her alleged suicide threat, hours
after Chicago Police were told to be on the lookout after she allegedly
phoned family threatening to jump off a bridge.
"Oh and by the way it's bulls--t I jumped off a bridge, some stupid
b---h up at Swords Garda station decided she'd like to throw a bit of
false and malicious gossip about is all," she posted on Facebook about
1:30 a.m. Friday. "AM FAR TOO F--KING HAPPY FOR THAT!!"
An active search was never ordered, but authorities were instructed to
look out for the "Nothing Compares 2 U" singer on Thursday, Chicago
Police told the Daily News.
"Right now all we have is a phone call," Officer Kevin Quaid said.
"We're informing officers to be on the lookout but we're not setting up
roadblocks or anything."
O'Connor's worried family had Irish officials phone Chicago police
after the singer called at about 3:30 p.m., threatening to jump off a
Chicago bridge, Quaid said.
The Irish singer-songwriter's reason for being "far too f--king happy"
Friday seemed to stem from the historic "Brexit," as she declared in all
caps that Britain's vote to ditch the European Union was a triumph for
Ireland.
"IRELAND IS OFFICIALLY NO LONGER OWNED BY BRITAIN!!!!" she wrote.
"CONGRATS TO EVERY MAN, WOMAN AND CHILD WHO EVER DIED FOR THE CAUSE OF
IRISH FREEDOM, AND ALSO TO ALL THOSE INCLUDING MYSELF, WHO HAVE BEEN
PERSECUTED MERCILESSLY BY THE IRISH SO CALLED FREE-STATE FOR HAVING
DECLARED SUPPORT FOR SINN FEIN AND THE REPUBLICAN MOVEMENT.
"OUR DAY HAS COME !!!!!!!"
Though reports of her demise may have been greatly exaggerated this time, O'Connor has threatened to take her own life before.
Last month, the 49-year-old was safely located after being reported as "missing suicidal" for 24 hours.
In November, she posted a frightening message to Facebook stating "there is only so much any woman can be expected to bear."
"The last two nights finished me off, I have taken an overdose," she continued.
Hours later, she was found and given medical attention. She spent
several weeks afterwards in a hospital and continued to take to social
media with harrowing messages, blasting her family for leaving her
alone.
In 2007, she told Oprah Winfrey she struggled with bipolar disorder and
revealed she had attempted suicide on her 33rd birthday in 1999. She
tried again in 2012 and sought help on Twitter.
