Sinead O'Connor, interviewed in Rolling Stone, complained about how Mike Tyson had been treated in his rape trial. She commented, "poor Mike Tyson—he's only a tiny, little baby, and all these people are trying to f***ing kill him. If he looks for solace in the arms of lots of women, what do you expect him to do?"

Commenting on Desiree Washington, who Tyson was convicted of raping, O'Connor said: "that woman who is suing him is a bitch. I don't care if he raped her; she used him. She's a disgrace to women as far as I'm concerned."
