Ding-ding!
We had letters and tweets from round one, and then came round two in rapid succession and now we're already on to round 3. We're actually getting a bit overwhelmed with this now. Can we request a bit of a breather between the next reaction? Lunch? Tea even?
Sinead O'Connor is calling on Miley to apologise to her, Amanda Bynes, all people who suffer from mental health issues and all those abused by priests in her latest open letter to Cyrus. Which is quite a lofty goal. We have a feeling the chances of that happening are fatter than a sumo wrestler on Kalteen bars.
But she's not stopping with the open letters there, as she's also penned one for Amanda Bynes.
Here's Sinead's third open letter in full. NSFW language from the get go!
Third open letter to Miley
Miley
I have no interest whatsoever in meeting you. You had plenty of time yesterday to abuse Amanda Bynes .. an entirely innocent party.. and myself.. who also did nothing to deserve your abuse.. along with every other sufferer of mental health problems and every person who suffered abuse at the hands of priests.
You can take five minutes today between g- string fuckin' changes to publicly apologise and remove your abusive tweets. If you do not then you don't give a shit who you mock and what damage you do by being so ignorant.
When you publicly apologise to Amanda and myself and all mental health sufferers as well as all who were abused by priests that will end the matter as far as I am concerned.
what you did yesterday was designed to damage me and my career and has caused me enormous distress and harassment and has potential to damage my career, since you deliberately gave the impression those tweets of mine were not two years old but reflect my current condition. If you cannot apologize I will have no choice but to bring legal proceedings against you since it is extremely hard to be given work when people think one is suffering from mental illness.
I have no interest in or desire to cause you trouble but if you do not apologise for having deliberately tried to cause me hurt and trouble personally and professionally I will have to bring pressure upon you.
When you end up in the psych ward or rehab I'll be happy to visit you.. and would not lower myself to mock you.
Be a proper woman and make the public apologies I have listed above. Your hosting SNL is a bullshit reason for not taking five minutes to do the right thing and your behaviour yesterday will rebound upon you very badly.
You have no business abusing Amanda Bynes or anyone else. How do you think you made her feel yesterday? How do you feel when your friend Britney Spears is mocked and humiliated for having had mental health problems? I know I personally want to bash those who treat her that way. If she is your friend and more importantly if you are a true friend to her.. you ought apologise for joining those who mock and humiliate women who have been too nice frankly, to manage the music business without sensibly losing their minds.
Cease behaving in an anti-female capacity. You will become the victim of it shortly. Soon it will be you the media 'crazy' .. and you will not enjoy it.. and you will appreciate people (like myself) standing up for you. Which I will be happy to do.. if you earn my respect today by apologising publicly.
And here's her much lovelier letter to Bynes, except for seeming to wish mental health problems on Miley...
OPEN LETTER TO AMANDA BYNES
Dear Amanda
I wish to send you some words of love and encouragement as I have just discovered you are currently in rehab because of a similar medical condition to my own. I am sorry that Miley Cyrus has decided to abuse you in order to hurt me and I am sorry that subsequently you have been disrespected by Billboard.com and other media on the grounds of you being a sufferer of a medical condition and being brave enough to have been open about it.
Please know this.. there is NOTHING wrong.. or ‘bizarre’ in being open anywhere you damn choose or seeking help. When media behave irresponsibly toward women who suffer.. they insult all who suffer and they contribute to the deaths which result from those of us who suffer being abused.
I send you love and support and admiration and urge you not to let Miley stupid Cyrus or any media make you feel less than a queen for being as brave as you are. I am happy you are taking care of yourself and hope Miley gets the same care when she reaches the stage you are at now.. which she surely will.
Sinead
We're right there with you Taylor.
