13. SINEAD O’CONNOR
Another queen of meltdowns, although as the years go by it becomes increasingly more unethical to laugh at them, since she clearly has some serious mental issues. Sinead O’Connor is probably best remembered for her magnificent performance of Prince’s song “Nothing Compares 2 U” which launched her to stardom.
After that one huge hit, her life has been one big, continuous meltdown. First she ambushed the SNL by declaring war to the Pope and the Catholic Church and accusing them of child abuse, which, needless to say, caused a tremendous scandal. More recently, she wrote a series of open letters to Miley Cyrus criticizing her for over-sexualizing herself.
She also wrote a series of tweets asking for psychiatric help, claiming to be in danger. She was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and attempted suicide in 1999. In 2015, she made her second suicide attempt after writing a series of what seemed to be last messages and suicide notes to her children on Facebook.
