Sinead O'Connor Claims Prince Beat Women While High on 'Hard Drugs'

*Sinead O’Connor claims she once told police that Prince was a violent man who flew into drug-fueled rages against women, including herself.

According to TMZ, eleven days after Prince overdosed, Sinead was interviewed over the phone by Carver County Sheriff’s investigators, who just released audio of that conversation, and she says Prince commonly “used hard drugs.”

“I know this because I spent time with the man,” Sinead said.

She recalls it wasn’t a pleasant experience, and claimed Prince “had been violent to a number of women in his life” … some of whom she claims had to be hospitalized.

She also claimed Prince told her the real reason he didn’t want to release his “Black Album” was because he’d taken drugs, and had a vision of God … who told him to not to release the project.

Cops have also just released video shot inside the late singer’s home the day they found him dead.

TMZ reports that the “Carver County Sheriff’s Dept. is releasing all the records from its investigation on the heels of the County prosecutor announcing there will be no criminal charges in Prince’s death. Those records include the videos and photos shot all over Paisley Park on April 21, 2016.”

As we’ve reported, Prince was found lying on his back in front of an elevator door in the home. His lifeless body is blacked out in the photos below.

There are also photos of inside his vault showing recordings and large sums of cash, and another pic shows a white powdery substance out on a table with a bent spoon placed next to it.

The files also include a video of Prince from April 20 as he walked into the office of Dr. Michael Schulenberg. Prosecutors say this particular doctor had written a Percocet prescription for Prince, but they don’t believe it played a role in his death.
