If you ask Sinead O'Connor, her fourth marriage to Barry Herridge was doomed from the start.
Splitting from Herridge on Christmas Eve, just 18 days after swapping vows at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas, O'Connor, 45, argues that her short-lived union was "like living in a coffin."

"It felt like I was living in a coffin. It was going to be a coffin for both of us and I saw him crushed," the "Nothing Compares 2 U" singer told the U.K. Sun Wednesday. "The whole reason I ended it was out of respect and love for the man."
Revealing their split on her official website Monday, O'Connor explained that she knew her new husband wasn't The One just three hours after saying "I do."

In that short timeframe, "[our] marriage was kyboshed by the behavior of certain people in my husband's life."
Searching for drugs on her wedding night, O'Connor says her new husband was "frightened" by her erratic behavior.

"We ended up in a cab in some place that was quite dangerous. I wasn't scared -- but he's a drugs counselor. What was I thinking?" O'Connor admitted to The Sun. "Then I was handed a load of crack. Barry was very frightened -- that kind of messed everything up a bit really."
Declaring her ex a "wonderful man," O'Connor believes Herridge was "too nice to [end the marriage himself]. And too nice to trap."
The singer seems to have learned her lesson, however, telling The Sun that she has married for the last time. "I don't think I will even date anyone," she said.
Tell Us What You Think
16* I mean at her age
I am surprised that at this age she is still depending on drug..
Why do people get married when they shouldn't? Maybe they feel lonely. No matter how loving your family is or how involved you are in your children's and grandchildren's lives. Sometimes loneliness leads to bad decisions.
She says she was handed some crack!!! Not that she was buying crack or does crack-Geez people are so stupid,no wonder she lost it and went back to England!!!!
She is messed up really bad !! I feel sorry for her kids !!
why the hell did she even marry him in the first place? It takes two to say "I do" and two to make it work... people in hollywood marry for fun and never take their vows serious anymore..shame on this disgusting crackhead..and it's amazing how people are hating on her or bashing her as much as Kim.... At least Kim's marriage lasted 72 days with that barking dog, this freak her only lasted 18 days.... disgusting!
Sinead has children...why would any mother openly admit that? I'm not sure if they are under 18, but she certainly doesn't worry about having them taken away/ or setting a bad example for them. The 'right' thing would have been to NOT get married at all. She is an idiot for getting married so fast in the first place...she was just putting up ads on her website to find a man bc no one wants her crazy butt.
lol, for real??????????? crack on her wedding night! Is she joking or not? Hey, if you wanna smoke crack, that's your deal and no judgement here. I love my uppers too, but sheesh, making it public knowledge seems like she's joking. Funny lady, either way, joke or not, it's better than these boring tabloid stories about who wore what or, is so-and-so pregnant!!!!!!!!! More power to ya lady!
Idiot you look like a BIG ASS mess and yes do us all a favor Drop Dead or take your last crack hit looks like there is no need for you here on this planet, just look at you.
ok so she is a drug addict , so many ppl are who cares about that ?? what makes me so mad is that people get married and divorced at the drop of a hat anymore. WTH happened to death do we part and the rest of those vows ?? do they mean so little that they are becoming a joke now a days ?! I just got engaged on christmas eve and I told my fiance that I am only getting married once . People just don't want to work at it anymore it seems . this year has been the official year of weddings being the butt of any joke . SO PLEASE if it is not right do not get married . I want to have something to cherish and believe that it is still a special day and I want all the happiness I should have on this day , What bride to be wouldn't??
This guy should run as fast as he can. Seriously, she is a fruit loop to the max.
She seems like a fruit loop...
glad he survived
I am glad she doing the right thing..WTf he is thinking marrying a drug addict like her.. Searching for drugs on her wedding night, O'Connor says her new husband was "frightened" by her erratic behavior" Da..???
Nothing like a handful of crack on your wedding day to say I love you. LOL.
That guy should count his blessings . . . .
