Nothing compares 2 heartache for Sinead O’Connor.

Just weeks after she married Barry Herridge in a quickie Vegas wedding, then split with him just 18 days later, only to reunite a few days later, she’s ending the union.

For good this time. Sinead said in a statement:

“I will never again associate myself romantically with anyone as I could not bear to see these things done to someone I love,” said Sinead, who was Tweeting her own cry for psychiatric help this week, regarding media scrutiny of Barry.

“These people, along with others caused enormous damage deliberately and maliciously to my innocent flower of a husband, purely because he was with me.”

“And so his association with me became something very bad for his life.”

“And slowly since we were married I became very ill as result of what was done to my husband and I was unable to cope. And became very depressed.”

 
O’Connor slammed one unnamed reporter (she later ID’d him on Twitter as Irish Mirror showbiz columnist Paul Martin) whom she called a bully for trying to “lose my husband his job” as a counselor for drug-addicted teenagers.

The twice-married Sinead, 44, concluded her official website missive with some self-affirming statements right out of a Bridget Jones movie.

“Well guys, I’m gonna be me. “

“And if anyone doesn’t like that they can seek therapy. Because I am wonderful. Exactly as I am. As Bridge Jones would say. And I shall continue being me. If being me means certain Irish media will try to destroy my romantic life.. So be it.”

Let it be so then.
