SINEAD O’CONNOR HAS explained the factors behind her decision to pull out of a Late Late show appearance, saying an RTÉ staff member was “patronising, insulting and disrespectful”.
The singer, 44, announced yesterday that she would not be appearing as planned on Friday’s show, the very first of the new season and as a result of be hosted by Ryan Tubridy. She stated at the time that she would “absolutely” never ever talk about the factors behind her change of heart.
Having said that, O’Connor these days posted a blog entry on her website saying she believed RTÉ’s reason for getting her on the show was to exploit her recent public search for a partner, and make her appear as a “crazy performing monkey”. She said a researcher for the Late Late Show had “asked a number of questions which I discovered rude, patronising, insulting and disrespectful”, continuing:
The researcher stated to me that due to the fact I suffer from depression do I not feel its insane behaviour to be talking publicly about sex. Although it may be known as rude, inappropriate, naughty, silly, adolescent and so on to talk rudely about sex, it truly is outrageous to call it ‘insane’.
The singer said the researcher had also asked her what her brother, the novelist Joseph O’Connor, would feel of her behaviour. She added she was tired of being labelled “crazy”, and that it had led her to consider suicide. O’Connor also lashed out at the state of Ireland right now, suggesting that little has changed considering that decades gone by.
We are still exactly the same old squinting windows Ireland, the sort which had females like me in industrial schools. When u start off to feel good about ur self, certain enough someone will come and stomp all over your heart with their steel-toed docs, and tell u u deserved it.
Prior to the singer made her comments, an RTÉ spokeswoman told TheJournal.ie: “We’re disappointed to hear Sinead has had second thoughts about the interview. We’d nonetheless adore to have her on the show.” RTÉ had not but responded to requests for further comment in the time of publication
