Sinead O'Connor couldn't take the controversy surrounding her bizarre tweets, so she's quit the social media platform altogether, RadarOnline.com has learned.

"I’ve stopped Twitter now because, although it was fun for a while, I had to stop because I was getting too much abuse," Sinead told V Magazine last month at the 2011 Inspiration Gala for amFAR.

"Some people just take things so seriously, and things I was being funny about they would take terribly seriously. Plus, it’s a bit of an addiction; you got to stop it at some point and get on with living."
