Suddenly, Kim Kardashian's 72-day marriage doesn’t seem so bad.
After just 18 days of marriage to husband Barry Herridge, Sinead O'Connor says she’s calling it quits.
The singer, 45, married Herridge December 8 in Las Vegas; she detailed her reasons for the jaw-dropping breakup in a long post on her website Monday.

"Dear friends, I had for reasons u will all understand, wished to keep this private but have been told today it is to be leaked in the next few days despite my best efforts,” she wrote. “So I must now leak it myself so as the record is straight."
The Nothing Compares 2 U singer, who has four kids, went on to say that "certain people in [Herridge's] life" down-talked the marriage to the groom just three hours after the ceremony was over.
"And also by a bit of a wild ride i took us on looking for a bit of a smoke of weed for me wedding night as I don't drink," she wrote. "My husband was enormously wounded and very badly effected by that experience and also by the attitude of those close to him toward our marriage.

“I truly believe though it is painful to admit, we made a mistake rushing into getting married, for altruistic reasons, and weren't aware or prepared for the consequences on my husband's life and the lives of those close to him.
She continued, "He has been terribly unhappy and I have therefore ended the marriage.”
O'Connor was past married to music producer John Reynolds in 1989, journalist Nicholas Sommerlad in 2001 and musician Steve Cooney in 2010.

Too bad the husband wasn't mature enough to make his own choices and let the friends/family get in the middle. She's probably best to be away from him. He doesn't seem like a protective husband.A guy like this is the last thing she needs.

You knew their marriage was doomed when they posed in front of a 1966 Pink Cadillac Deville.

I feel sorry for Sinead. She's bipolar and is doing the manic mambo without her meds. She needs to get back on them. And he's an addiction counselor so no doubt he wasn't happy about the joy ride for weed. Still, sorry to hear this.

Kris Jenner's damage control. She's behind this drama. She orchestrated it, from the proposal to the divorce. It's all a part of her "Make-Kim-look-good-mission". :-)

Britney Spears's marriage to that childhood friend from Louisiana was about 2 1/2 days?

At least Sinead is HONEST about what took place, instead of trying to SCAM the public like the KKlan CONTINUES to do. Good for you, Sinead, for stepping up with HONESTY! P.S. Boycott anything KarTRA$Hian.

Yeah, I agree. Sinead went into the marriage with good intentions. It's just that she's got a disorder that affects her judgment. She needs to get treatment again, instead of pretending that it doesn't exist.
