Always controversial, the emergence of social media proved very interesting for O'Connor, who in 2011 used blog posts and Twitter to detail her sex life and solicit a boyfriend. The narrative in the media was that she continued to be crazy and mongering attention, but O'Connor explained that she was just "trying to have some peaceful fun."
She was born and raised in Dublin. As a teenager, she had a job delivering Kiss-O-Grams. These didn't involve any actual kissing: She would dress up as a French maid, recite a poem, then put a pair of underwear on the guy's head.
In 1992, she performed Bob Marley's "War," said "Fight the real enemy" and ripped up a photo of the Pope on Saturday Night Live. This caused a major backlash against her. She was later booed off the stage at a Bob Dylan tribute concert.
