Ah... really.

Great artist I guess. But definitely not the kind of human being I would want in my life.

- toyg 3y agoIt was one of her tweets, it's on wikipedia and was widely "reported" at the time. It came in the context of her late conversion to Islam, and the blowback it generated (imagine being a high-profile personality in a deeply $religion-following country, and publicly abiuring that to become $aVeryDifferentReligion...).
- Tao3300 3y agoIf it was in a tweet, then it was well after the damage was done by the system Morrissey is describing.
- toyg 3y agoThe "damage" might well have been done when she was put in a Magdalene at 15. Morrissey's (quite interested) statements on how she was treated, and the fact that she wasn't the nicest person, are not mutually exclusive.
- toyg 3y agoYou're being downvoted but it's true - at various points in her life, she was a very hard person to like or be around. Being completely uncompromising can be fundamentally antisocial. History is made by unreasonable people, as the saying goes, and she definitiely fit that definition.
