Irish artist Sinead O' Connor has taken to social media to squash reports of her disappearance in the US. She posted on Facebook this morning, celebrating the UK's decision to leave the EU as well as stating "by the way it's bullshit I jumped off a bridge".
In the post on her official Facebook account she had some hard words to say about the Garda in Ireland. "Some stupid bitch up at Swords Garda station decided she'd like to throw a bit of false and malicious gossip about is all," she said. Reports from US entertainment website TMZ said that an unnamed family member in Ireland had contacted the Chicago police force through the Gardaí, because O' Connor had allegedly told her family she was planning to throw herself from a bridge.

This is not the first time O' Connor has been in the public spotlight in recent months. In November she posted online that she had overdosed on pills in a hotel room. She was subsequently found safe and taken to hospital.
