Arsenio Hall suing Sinead O'Connor over Prince drug allegations
The US comedian files case in L.A. following Irish star's Facebook message
US comedian and talkshow host Arsenio Hall has filed a lawsuit against Sinead O'Connor following a social media post in which he was accused of supplying drugs to Prince, and drugging the Irish star.
In a suit filed in LA, the American values the damage to his reputation as "not less than $5m."
The lawsuit reads: "Desperate, attention seeker Sinead O'Connor has maliciously published outlandish defamatory lies about comedian Arsenio Hall, falsely accusing him of supplying illegal 'hard drugs' 'over the decades' to the recently deceased music artist, Prince, and of spiking her with drugs once years ago."
