Sinead O'Connor's troubling attacks on her former management continued on Facebook, this time railing against former manager Bruce Garfield.

In the lengthy, rambling post written on Thursday, O'Connor, 50, also revealed she remains in the hospital after she alarmingly posted she was suicidal in a Travel Lodge in New Jersey on August 3.

The Irish singer's message is the latest in a series of public cries for help after years of battling depression.

Her new post pointedly attacks Garfield: 'What sick part of your head failed to hear that you are being prosecuted and sent to jail by me, for forgery and for facilitating my suicide four times as well as failing to act to save my life.'

She tells Garfield her lawyer will be contacting him and Edgewater Police on her behalf regarding his 'fraudulent behavior, theft of my identity, and his facilitation of my suicide four times, as well as his failure to alert my family I was missing two weeks ago having taken an overdose.'

O'Connor's latest Facebook attack took aim at her former manager Bruce Garfield who she accuses of identity theft and failing to act when she was suicidal 

Her latest attack, aimed at her former manager Bruce Garfield 

O'Connor, who DailyMail.com revealed was in the hospital as of Wednesday, says she remains in the hospital.

She concluded her post by saying: 'Pls remember I am only available by phone at the hospital. Not by e mail or text.' 

Garfield responded to the outburst a short time later.

He wrote on Facebook: 'Thanks friends, fans, and media for your concerns, but I will not be responding to any questions or requests to speak to Sinead O'Connor.' 

O'Connor told her Facebook followers she was suicidal at a motel in a lengthy video posted on August 3, and she was struggling to stay alive day by day.

Safe: O'Connor is no longer at the New Jersey motel where she had posted the video from and is in hospital elsewhere in the state. Police had checked on her welfare at the Travelodge

Waiting: O'Connor's car remains in the car park of the motel but police say they have checked on her safety 

The clip led to fans rushing to the motel, in Hackensack, New Jersey, offering to help.

Her musical contemporary Annie Lennox also asked where O'Connor's friends and family were.

After she was taken to the hospital a friend used the singer's Facebook page to say she was 'surrounded by love and receiving the best of care'.

The singer's troubles have been further fueled by a messy and bitter legal dispute in Ireland with her manager, a former lover who she is now involved in litigation with.

O'Connor had spent time in a suburb of Chicago last year being cared for by friends, and has also spent time seeking help for her mental health issues at a facility in California.

Mental health advocates have said they hope that the video has a positive impact on others with mental health problems.

O'Connor posted the clip on Facebook last week revealing she was all by herself at the $70-a-night Travelodge motel at the 'a*** end of New Jersey' and fighting to stay alive every day.

As the clip went viral fans rushed to the motel on Tuesday, where O'Connor had left her car, but she had already gone. Local police said they had checked on her welfare. 

And later on Tuesday, a post on her Facebook page said: 'Hi everybody, I am posting at Sinead's request, to let everyone who loves her know she is safe, and she is not suicidal.

'She is surrounded by love and receiving the best of care. She asked for this to be posted knowing you are concerned for her. I won't respond to any questions, so please understand. I hope this comforts those of you were concerned.' 

Her breakdown comes against the backdrop of a legal battle where she is being sued by a former lover - and long-term manager - for alleged defamation and breach of contract.

Friends rallied round Sinead O'Connor today as one posted on Facebook on her behalf

Lennox took to Facebook on Tuesday to address what she described as O'Connor's 'truly distressing call for help'. 

The action is being taken in Ireland by Fachtna O'Ceallaigh, 70, who met O'Connor in the Eighties when she was 17 and steered her to stardom in a partnership that lasted until 2012.

He claims O'Connor terminated their business relationship without warning and defamed him in a letter published on her website and a fan's website. He is seeking damages of around ¤500,000 (£452,000).

O'Connor denies the claims but, according to her lawyer, who appeared at a pre-trial hearing at Dublin High Court ten days ago, ill health has delayed her ability to defend herself.

Speaking about their romantic relationship in previous interviews, she described them both as 'driven people': 'You can see that from what we achieved together,' she said. 

The couple broke up at the time of the release of Nothing Compares 2 U and the stunning close-ups of her crying in the video were attributed to her misery over the split.

In the past, O'Ceallaigh, who also managed U2 and Bob Geldof's Boomtown Rats, has always been sympathetic to his muse.

'The same thing that makes her great, that generates joy and fulfilment in her work, has also caused great pain and difficulty for her,' he said.

'It is incredibly painful to see her living her life the way she lives it sometimes.'

But the pair's business split — which came, according to sources, via a 'very colorful email from Sinead' while on tour in Germany trying to reboot her career - changed things.

Since then O'Connor has largely stayed away from Ireland, where her four children - Jake, 29, Roison, 21, Sahne, 13, and Yeshua, 10, live.

At the start of 2016 the singer moved to Wilmette, Illinois, at the start of the year and moved into the large suburban home of her friend, drummer Matt Walker.

He lives there with his wife Charlotte and their children.

O'Connor and Walker performed together in Chicago in January 2016 in a tribute to the death of David Bowie. It is the last known time O'Connor sang on stage.

Last May, in an echo of her current predicament, O'Connor sparked concerns for her welfare when she went for a bike ride from the Walkers' home, and did not return, prompting a major police search.

Illinois home: O'Connor was staying in the family home of Matt and Charlotte Walker near Chicago when she decided to go for a bike ride in May 2016, and was declared missing amid concerns for her safety.

Echo of Jersey: The singer was found six miles from Wilmette in a run-down $84-a-night Best Western Hotel in the Chicago suburb of Morton Grove

O'Connor (pictured in 2012) was diagnosed with bipolar disorder more than a decade ago

About two hours after she left on the ride, a rambling message was posted on her official Facebook page that referred to emotional trauma she had been through over the years, prompting fears she had disappeared to take her own life. 

She was found a day later in a hotel a few miles away. Since then, DailyMail.com has learned, she has been at a facility in California and received help from a therapist who she praised in the video. DailyMail.com is not naming the therapist, or the facility.

Charlotte Walker declined to comment this week. 

The outpouring of support this week for O'Connor is likely to be welcomed by those closest to her.

'I go to bed every night worried about you,' one person wrote. 'I wake up and tentatively log onto Facebook because of my worry for you.' 

Another wrote: 'To Sinead's kids get over and help your mother, she is crying out for you all, forget what has happened and forgive, keep forgiving her until you get over there and give her a hug.'

Keith Kaulfers, a guest staying at the Travelodge motel, said he thought O'Connor 'would stay at a much nicer place — a hotel, five stars, things like that'. 

And Hamilton Richard, who is visiting the US from England, told NorthJersey.com that he was '100 per cent' surprised to hear about O'Connor being at the hotel.

'I'd be very confused not just surprised that she's here,' Richard said, adding that the area of New Jersey was 'very different, but not an a**e'. 

O'Connor has spoken previously about how she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder more than a decade ago and has struggled with depression and post traumatic stress for years.

She told Oprah Winfrey in 2007 that before her bipolar diagnosis she had struggled with thoughts of suicide and overwhelming fear. 

She said at the time that medication had helped her find more balance, but 'it's a work in progress.' 

O'Connor said in later interviews that she was misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2011. 

O'Connor, who is a mother to four children from different relationships, took to Facebook in 2015 to say she had taken an overdose at a hotel somewhere in Ireland. 

Irish police later said she had been found safe. The next month, she posted on Facebook that she had been detained in a hospital for mental health evaluation.   

Comedian Arsenio Hall dropped a $5million lawsuit against O'Connor earlier this year after she apologised and retracted comments she made on Facebook that he had supplied drugs to Prince.
