    Arsenio Hall sues Sinead O'Connor over Prince drug claims

    (CNN)U.S. comedian Arsenio Hall is suing singer Sinead O'Connor for defamation.

    This is after she posted a note on Facebook accusing Hall of supplying Prince with drugs "over the decades" and of spiking her with drugs.

    The suit, filed in Los Angeles on Thursday, is seeking damages of "not less than" $5 million.

    "Desperate, attention seeker Sinead O'Connor has maliciously published outlandish defamatory lies about comedian Arsenio Hall, falsely accusing him of supplying illegal 'hard drugs' 'over the decades' to the recently deceased music artist, Prince, and of spiking her with drugs once years ago," the lawsuit says.

    On Monday, O'Connor, who is no stranger to controversy, accused Hall of supplying Prince with drugs.

    "Two words for the DEA investigating where prince got his drugs over the decades ... Arsenio Hall. Anyone imagining prince was not a long time hard drug user is living in cloud cuckoo land," O'Connor wrote in a post that has since been deleted.

    "Arsenio I've reported you to the Carver County Sheriff's office. Expect their call. They are aware you spiked me years ago at Eddie Murphy's house. You best get tidying your man cave."

    Hall has denied the "heinous accusations" in the lawsuit, calling O'Connor's statement "despicable, fabricated lies."

    The lawsuit says Hall has also had only "minimal" contact with the singer, and "last had contact with her approximately 25 years ago."

    "Hall will not stand idly by while O'Connor attempts to get attention for herself by recklessly spreading malicious, vile lies that he engaged in egregious criminal conduct which falsely links Hall to Prince's death," the lawsuit adds.

    O'Connor, who had a huge hit with her cover of Prince's "Nothing Compares 2 U," has not publicly commented on the suit.

    Multiple attempts to contact O'Conner's representatives for comment went unanswered.

    On the one hand, she's a nutcase.

    OTOH, anything's possible..I just watched a video of someone interviewing Dick Gregory on Prince's death during the same time the Queen of England was in Wash. DC..if you were to believe him, everything's a conspiracy (I would post the video but the bad language spewed by Gregory prevents me)..in a nutshell, "they" (the powers that be from Time Warner who Prince feuded with decades ago) killed Prince.

    Obviously Arsenio has to hit this head on if for no other reason at least to appear innocent. Don't know whether he is or not. But let's just say I don't necessarily take his word for it. Or Sinead either. But a lot of times these 'smoking gun' comments prove to be factual.

    The truth is somewhere in the middle of the two extremes...

    I read what Sinead posted on FB and it's obvious to me that the ramblings came from a diseased mind. It could be true, but I think if Arsenio ignored it, it would have gone away before the end of the news cycle. My cynical mind believes these two irrelevant entertainers are trying to stay in the news as long as possible.

    What I remember most about her was her live performance on SNL back in the early 90's.... at the end she went off script and stunned quite a few people with this:

    What I most remember about her is that she is cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs. Many lesbians have emotional disorders that, over time, causes them to be as looney as Dick Gregory.

    And she's been married to several men. So does Rosie O'Donnell. Your point?
