As much as I feel bad for the ladies who must be heartbroken right now, this thread actually made me feel good ... good to know that maybe his last days/months were not sad and lonely, but that he was enjoying himself, which includes enjoying women, as he's always done.

They mostly all still love him too. You know he broke a lot of hearts along the way...women probably went out with him one time and fell madly in love. Juggle hearts in a three ring circus..

Hello?! Who wouldn't??!! I never went out with him and I was madly in love with him LOL That man could have laid any woman in his orbit I have no doubt. Don't tell me no one else here has the Prince clause in their marriage LOL (This thread made me in tears in a good way for once! Eek except for these last posts which took a nasty turn. Sorry if I offended anyone.) [Edited 5/15/16 18:47pm]

Ha ha "Prince clause in their marriage" - that cracked me up!

Never thought to include that in mine 18 years ago: "to have and to hold, til death us do part, forsaking all others - (except Prince)......"

I've actually compiled a pretty sizeable list of reasons why Jeannette's story doesn't add up... Full disclosure, I'm a freelance writer and I approached her with the angle of a piece on cyberbullying and what she has experienced in the wake of Prince's death. The caveat was that she had to provide proof of the relationship, because without it her credibility is nill. She was nice in PMs, although she refused to provide proof. When I asked her why she would post (then delete) so-called messages from Prince (I didn't say so-called to her) but refuse to defend herself against bullies now she got super snippy with me, then came at me a couple of weeks later when I mentioned that no one seemed to know who she was.

My editors are interested in doing an article about the whole fiasco, but I'm kinda meh on it. If she is lying (and I think she is based on various inconsistencies with her story), then she is obviously mentally unhinged and making fun of her is kinda like making fun of Britney Spears-circa-2007 or Amanda Bynes, a cheap laugh at the expense of mental illness. On the other hand, if there is a shred of truth to what she's saying - like maybe they had actually met and were friends and she blew it up in her mind as a romance while to him it wasn't anything like that - then she is still mentally unhinged at worst, and just a bad person at best, to be telling the world about it when he was a man who so clearly valued his privacy above all.

There used to be a whole thread about her, but it seems to have been totally deleted,which I found odd. It wasn't just locked or cleaned up, but deleted entirely.

Yes the thread was "did Prince have a girlfriend at the time of his death", it was deleted. I don't know why, perhaps the moderators could shed some light on that one.

I'm also skeptical until proof is given. Why tweet in response to someone "Prince and I were dating" on Twitter when the whole world was discussing Prince. She must have known the media and Prince fans would see it and be all over it. Which is exactly what happened. She put herself front and centre with making that statement....no one forced her.

As for cyberbullying, I dont' condone it AT ALL, but I do understand why she got some backlash for tweeting about his personal life barely 24 hours after he died, when she would know, if she genuinely was dating him, that he was a deeply, private man.

If I lost my husband (god forbid) there is no way I'd be tweeting the world about it on the same day, I doubt I'd make it out of my bed if I'm honest. Yes, we all grieve differently but I'd like to think I'd honour my husband's wishes (he too is deeply private), I certainly wouldn't be tweeting the whole world and his uncle.

I too was looking for that thread. Apparently, Militant retracted his statement; so I wanted to find it. It's odd that they would delete it..now so many people are going to be asking about her and will not know the backstory.Thanks for the info....like u I'm curious on why she's making these claims and stating that "people will know the truth". [Edited 5/20/16 3:35am]

If I remember correctly, Militant originally said he knew her, but then it was clarified that he only knew her on Twitter, not in real life.

Edited to add: She said something similar to me when I gently called her out: "Time will tell."

He had many deep friendships, Andy Allo was another and she has been posting alot of stuff of them together and just look at Morris I mean he is really feeling it a lot, his posts are so heartfelt, and just "i miss u bro" and one was him saying Prince was saying "whatever you do from now on is cool with me bro"

Yeah Morris. I just want to hug him. He's feeling it bad. It's funny because so many fans are questioning certain people and their actions because oh Prince didn't (appear) to be on good terms with whoever it speaking to whoever. But family like bonds don't die just because you have a failing out or don't see each other for a decade. Your core feelings about a person don't change sometimes, even when bad things happen. My heart really goes out to everyone he knew closely. I can't even imagine. I haven't yet experienced that kind of sudden loss. [Edited 5/15/16 17:09pm]

ok, so he was her mentor, her friend, an inspiration. frankly, nothing different than any of the other emotional tributes we have seen. he said "i love you" to his guy friends, too. i can understand her distress, and i can totally see her falling in love with him, but i don't get the vibe that they were an item. but it was a touching tribute. and sorry to say, it does seem that the ones he was ACTUALLY close to (damaris, esperanza) are not coming forward trying to make the point that they were friends with him or that they were important to him..,the ones who seem to have been especially close to him don't need to shout it from the rooftops, just sayin. i think she was one of several young female muses and friends. whether it felt something more to her, thats up to her heart. i wish her peace in her grief [Edited 5/15/16 14:27pm]

You once said, "I wanna take up all your time and be the only one you hang out with".

When a man says this to a woman, most women will take it to mean that the guy wants to have a bf/gf relationship with them.

PurpleMusic07 said: true...ms Gaye anyone

.

That's the one I was trying to think of who seemed to have soem hard feelings still, from what I read recently. Nona Gaye. She felt jilted and never really got over it, but who can blame her.

If Prince and Nona's relationship ended the way that I've read it did, I can't blame her for having hard feelings. I understand that Prince may have chosen Mayte over Nona because of Nona's drug addiction, but the their relationship shouldn't have ended by Prince inviting Nona to a show and then Mayte flashing her engagement ring to Nona. That was just wrong.

Rumor has itr , he forced her to abort a child

She later tried to kill herself, but that's when got into rehab and came out of it ok.

can you actually imagine prince saying that to anyone? he didn't even spend all his time with his wives. MUSIC is what "took up all his time" and that's the way it always was with prince.

That's why he said that to her, and not the other way around. He wanted to be the main person in her life, but she wasn't going to be the main person in his life.

The main mistake every single woman made with Prince is thinking his behaviour would be different or he would change with THEM.

No, no no, honey. be glad you were chosen to share any part of him, be smart and keep your secrets to yourself and enjoy your memories. You were never the only one, and NONE of them were ever the only one. So don;t be too hurt about it...no woman can lay claim to being the only one.

The man do what the man do, with all of them. And Prince did many - it wasnt even a well kept secret.

avajane said:

Judith Hill posted again confirming that she'll be performing at her upcoming gigs, although "my heart cannot process "life" anymore"

https://www.facebook.com/...1902285774

To me, she certainly writes like their relationship went way beyond just musical collaborators or mentor/mentee. I know she was in ATL for his last concert.

I certainly have no special insight into this, and I don't know if Prince had similar relationships with others too, but her words give me the strong impression that they may have had something going on at the end of his life. (And she seems like a nice, honest person to me -- she doesn't seem to be doing anything in particular to use this to bring attention to herself.)

Yes I can. Definitely. That is some old school, playa playa talk right there. That's Jamie Starr, Minni pimp talk. Melts the ladies. Friends? You don't need friends girl. I'M your friend.

Now whether or not he would actually DO that, is a different story, of course. But to lay out some game like that though? Oh yes.

what I wanna know is where are those women that he was with and they parted ways badly...some of them haven't said shit

I find it remarkable that almost all his ex-partners that we know of speak fondly of him. Even before he died, he was friends again with Jill Jones and they saw each other in Oakland (with Susan Moonsie, Apollonia etc.), and after his death you had Mani and Mayte organize the memorial , and every one of them said nothing but nice things about him. Carmen Electra couldn´t hold back her tears, Anna Fantastic showed up again.

Many people here expect an artist of Prince´s calibre to follow conventional rules and behaviour when it comes to relationships but I think you can´t expect an artist like him to live a simple, monogamous life.

I feel pretty bad for Judith Hill. She seems to be very devastated, which is understandable.

I wish her strength and nothing but the best for her future.

I don't mean to sound crude, but I don't really feel all those women are that distressed over his loss. Carmen Electra?! I remember she was badmouthing Prince in the late 90s, saying some really crass stuff about their "relationship". Was she really in touch with him as of late? I think SOME of these women were/are attention seeking, wanting the publicity as one of Prince's love interests.
