Singer Sinead O'Connor posted a disturbing video on Facebook, saying she was "alone" and "suicidal".
The 50-year-old singer took to social media to reveal that she suffered from three mental illnesses.
In the clip, posted from the Travelodge in New Jersey where she claimed she was living, the singer said, "Suddenly, all the people who are supposed to be loving you or taking care of you treat you like s***. If it was me, I'd be gone, straight away back to my mom."
However, NorthJersey.Com reported that there was no record of O'Connor staying at the motel in South Hackensack, New Jersey, according to People magazine.
"Why are we alone? People who suffer from mental illness are the most vulnerable people on Earth. You've got to take care of us. We're not like everybody," she continued.
"Three illnesses made me suicidal... My whole life is revolving around just not dying. And I'm not going to die, I'm not going to die but still this is no way for people to be living.
"I just want to make this video so you all could see what it's like. It's the stigma that's killing people, not the mental illnesses.
