Sinead O'Connor and her husband Barry Herridge, 38, were married in the Little White Chapel in Las Vegas on Dec. 8. She met Herridge online after openly asking for a man to step forward and be her lover.
On Christmas Eve O’Connor reportedly ended the marriage after she took her drug counselor husband on a search to find drugs in an unsavory neighborhood which frightened him.
“We ended up in a cab in some place that was quite dangerous,” O’Connor told The Sun, “I wasn't scared- but he’s a drugs counsellor. What was I thinking?”
“Then I was handed a load of crack. Barry was very frightened- that kind of messed everything up a bit really,” she added.
She wrote a long letter on her website stating that just three hours after the wedding the marriage began to crumble as a result of people close to her husband interfering.
“There was intense pressure placed upon him by certain people in his life, not to be involved with me. These were people who had never met me but had formed opinions of me based on what they read about ‘Sinéad O’Connor’ in the media, etc.,” she wrote on her site.
O’Connor, who has openly expressed disdain for organized religion and tore up a picture of the pope in 1992 on Saturday Night Live, thanked God for saving her marriage.

“But stay married an we all in love an f--- every other m----------- who don't like it.. so me all happy!! me love me hubby.. he love me... f--- who no like it.. God is good!”
