(CNN) Sinéad O'Connor reportedly is explaining why she infamously ripped up a photo of Pope John Paul II during a 1992 performance on "Saturday Night Live." 'Young people of Ireland,' he had said after making a show of kissing the ground at the Dublin airport like the flight had been overly frightening, 'I love you,'" the excerpt reads. "What a load of claptrap. Sure, even our mothers and fathers couldn't stand us." She also was angry at that time because a man she knew in New York City had confessed to her he was a drug dealer who had been using children as "mules" and was expecting to be killed by a rival drug dealer, according to the passage in Rolling Stone.
