Arsenio Hall sues Sinéad O’Connor for $5m over drug claims

Actor and talk show host Arsenio Hall is suing Sinéad O'Connor for libel after the singer's recently accused him of being Prince's drug dealer for years and for spiking her marijuana at Eddie Murphy's house.
She made the accusation after news spread that there may have been a possibility that painkillers or hard drugs may have had a cause in the sudden death of Prince who died recently.
She took to her Facebook page on May2nd to make the accusation. She wrote:

O'Connor said she reported Hall to the Carver County Sheriff's office. "Expect their call. They are aware you spiked me years ago at Eddie Murphy's house."

She said this incident allegedly happened in 1991.
Then on May 3rd, she took to her Facebook page to elaborate on the whole incident.
She said Hall had invited her to a party at Murphy's home on the night of the Grammy Awards. O'Connor chose to not attend the ceremony, which she claims made Hall act maliciously towards her.
"In his unfathomable narcissism, he has deduced that my not attending is specifically an act against him, and all that he holds dear," she wrote.
"This is like, the second time we've hung out." Her tense description of their night — which presumably took place in 1991 since she states that her winning of a Grammy Award further provoked Hall — ended with O'Connor alleging that Hall had offered her laced marijuana and "actually did stick his tongue in my mouth too." Hall's complaint, which was filed in Los Angeles on May 5th, calls O'Connor a "desperate attention-seeker" and calls her story "outlandish defamatory lies."
She wrote a very long and detailed post about the whole incident on her Facebook page.

However, Hall has denied all of O'Connor's claims and said O'Connor has a history of "bizarre, unhinged internet rants."

Hall also goes into detail on the contentious relationship he believes O'Connor had with Prince, alleging they had a "feud" and once engaged in " a violent fistfight" with the late singer where O'Connor "spat on him repeatedly after she told Prince 'to go f**k himself.'"

Hall is suing for $5 million in compensatory damages.

Uche Jombo's brother unveils "Good Home”; As he echoes societal derailment

With the present situation of the country, and choking societal ills that have victimized almost everyone directly or indirectly, more film makers seem to have woken up to the need for a criticism of some of the dark acts of humans and how some people have disrupted the vision of this country through their uncontrollable selfish preoccupation.



Having worked as a co-producer with his talented and award winning sister, Uche Jombo, who tutored him to be one of the Lilium Inter Spinas of the industry that she is, Nelson Jombo released his first movie “Luke of Lies” in 2015, which also touched on some of the vices that pervades the society. Directed by Emmanuel Mang Eme, Luke of Lies stars Alexx Ekubo, Eddie Watson, Belinda Effah, Daniella Okeke, Laurel JE, Nkechinyere Urom Jombo and others, who captured the prevailing issue of internet scam amidst other domestic vices perfectly.

Not losing the vibes of addressing the issues that affects the masses, as against the overflogged romance that has been the crux of Nollywood for a long time, Nelson Jombo, moved on to produce “Espionage”, which has its plot revolving around the issues of cyber crime, money laundering and murder, which has, overtime, been the way of life of teenagers and young adults in Nigeria, and by extension the world at large. Nelson perfectly experimented with the undercover agent character, an aspect most Nigerians film makers shy away from, due to its complexities, but complexity is what Nelson is made for. Speaking on the movie, the director, Uzee Madubugwu affirmed that the team paid attention to the minutest of details, as they aimed for excellence.

Fast forward to 2016, Nelson has once again proven that he is in for some serious business, as he unveils “Good Home”, another strong allusion to one of the vices of the society that most people have decided not to talk about-Human Trafficking-especially as he drives his message from the point of the role of the supposed entrepreneurs in this societal ill.


The plot of “Good Home” focuses on the CEO of a trucking company, who is acquitted during a high profile human trafficking case, but when he wants to go legitimate, his dodgy business partner does everything in his power to keep their arrangement going.


The movie which was directed by Edward Uka and produced by Nelson Jombo under the Nelson Jombo Production stars the likes of Seun Akindele, Okey Uzoeshi, Vincent Opurum, Maureen Okpoko, Eric Obinna, Nkechinyere Urum Jombo, Ejike Ibedilo and Laurel JE. "Good Home" would be showing exclusively on Iroko TV, Irokoworld, Channel 23, and Channel 211 on Star Times.
