untimely death at the age of 56 last week has spurred memories of both her eclectic career as well as her most controversial moments.One contentious event infamously occurred in 1992 when the “Nothing Compares 2 U” singer appeared on “Saturday Night Live” and proceeded to rip up a photo of Pope John Paul II in protest of child sex abuse rampant in the Catholic Church.Fast forward to the next week when actor Joe Pesci criticized the Irish songstress during his own appearance.A video clip of the “Goodfellas” star’s “SNL” 1992 monologue has now resurfaced following her passing.“Before we start the show, there’s a little matter I wanna clear up. There was an incident on the show last week,” the Oscar winner, 80, said as he held up the photograph to the audience.

Saturday Night Live clip in which he said he “would have slapped” Sinéad O’Connor resurfaced.The Goodfellas actor appeared on the show back in October 1992, one week after the Irish singer, who died earlier this week.O’Connor infamously performed Bob Marley’s ‘War’ during her performance in which she ripped up a photo of the pope and replaced the song’s lyric “racism” with “child abuse”. She ended the performance by saying “Fight the real enemy,” and would later go on to explain the move was in protest of child sexual abuse in the Catholic Church.During Pesci’s opening monologue the following week, the actor addressed the controversy, saying: “Before we start the show, there’s a little matter I wanna clear up.

When it wraps up, another US presidential election — when “SNL” reliably gets its best ratings — likely featuring Donald Trump will have just ended.

who died Wednesday at the age of 56 — shocked the world when she ripped up a picture of Pope John Paul II on “Saturday Night Live” in 1992.The move, which unfolded as she sang an a cappella version of Bob Marley’s once-banned song “War,” got her barred from NBC for life and booed off the stage at a Bob Dylan tribute concert a few weeks later. She initially said tearing up the photo was to protest the Catholic Church and “fight the real enemy” amid child sex abuse scandals, but the stunt had a much deeper meaning, which the singer detailed in her memoir, “Rememberings.” “My intention had always been to destroy my mother’s photo of the pope,” she wrote.
