“Arsenio Hall (AKA Prince’s and Eddie Murphy’s b*tch)”, she wrote in a Facebook post which has since been deleted.

Richard Shotwell/Richard Shotwell/Invision/AP Arsenio Hall hit Sinead O’Connor with a $5 million defamation lawsuit on Thursday.
Sinead took to Facebook and wrote: “Two words for the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) investigating where (sic) prince got his drugs over the decades…”
A representative for Arsenio previously shot down the allegations made by Sinead on Monday (02May16), insisting her claims were “absolutely false, ridiculous and absurd”.
Hall’s complaint, which was filed in Los Angeles on May 5th, calls O’Connor a “desperate attention-seeker” and calls her story “outlandish defamatory lies”.
The post went on to claim that Hall – whom she characterized as ‘Prince’s and Eddie Murphy’s b****’ – had supplied the diminutive singer with drugs ‘over the decades, ‘ and also ‘spiked me years ago at Eddie Murphy’s house’.
As for why would O’Connor even make the claims, Hall said that she’d “detested” him and Prince for years.
Hall didn’t appreciate the accusation.
After news spread of the possible place painkillers or hard drugs may have had in the sudden death of Prince, O’Connor weighed in on the claims via a Facebook post published on May 2nd.
“O’Connor is now known perhaps as much for her freakish, unhinged internet rants as for her music”, the suit reads.
They’ve asked the court for a jury trial to make her pay.

But she didn’t meet the singer until after the song went number-one worldwide – and it didn’t go well, she told Norwegian station NRK. “So I told him to f*** off”.
