Sinead O’Connor has slammed Dick Clark Productions’ executives in a scathing blog post, claiming she was axed from performing at this year’s American Music Awards after a plan to have the singer appear with Pope Francis fell through.
In a post on her official site, the singer wrote:
“Without (even up until today) informing their CEO, three Jewish men (May I state my deep and sincere and absolute adoration firstly for all things Judaic, especially The Nevi’m and Bob Dylan), the leader of whom transpires to be a caucasian male by the name of Michael Schimmel (spelling?) employed by Dick Clark Productions, had a meeting or series of meetings (in which he swore to me tonight they did not smoke crack, cocaine, weed, nor e-cigarettes) wherein it was decided that it would be ‘A great hook’ (all quotes Michael Schimmel, conversation taped) to ask Pope Francis to appear with me,” the singer writes in a post titled “The AMA’s And The Most Appropriately Named Company on Earth.”
