Hell hath no fury.
Sinead O’Connor is famous for her tirades against various powerful institutions, and one apparently unscrupulous booking agent seems to have made her naughty list.
O’Connor recently played three gigs in Germany, generating €48,000 for everyone involved.
Somehow, however, only €500 of that money trickled down to her – the rest going to the band, the crew and the agents. Most egregiously, €11,700 went to her booking agent Rita Zappador and the booking company Modus in Rebus.
Over 23 times what O’Connor made.
O’Connor shared this document below alongside a vitriolic message which detailed the offences O’Connor has suffered.
“MASSIVE negligence cases to be brought by me against every member of my now ex-management team. Not only for the below but for several even more appalling and reckless negligences, which have cost me hundreds of thousands of euro which I was illegally told was my obligation to pay, and it was NOT my legal obligation.”
In addition to the paltry pay for three nights’ work (compared to the huge sum earned by her booking agent), O’Connor claims that she was docked a further €4,000, meaning that she actually had to pay money to perform in Germany. She also states that she hasn’t even been paid the €500. Her statement can be found in full here.
O’Connor ended her rant by stating her intention to sue all of the people involved, instructing them to “lawyer up” and get ready for “the fraud squad.”
This is the second-most upset she has ever been.
