I always thought he music would speak about his relationships. Kind of like The Truth or Rave was about Maybe in a lot of ways. 3121 had some insight to their relationship (Mani). Listen to the song Love. You will get your answer there. I could be wrong, though.

I always thought it was about her

Well, if that song is about Mani, I'd be interested to hear her version of it too.

To be in good standing as one of Jehovah's Witnesses the ONLY GROUNDS for "scriptual" divorse is adultery. Mani could only divorce Prince with JW's blessing if Prince committed fornication. As I've said before I was a JW for 10 years. The odds are high Prince cheated.

Except she wasn't part of that religion so she isn't bounded by any of that religious nonsense.

She may have left the faith but there was a photo posted here years ago of both of them getting baptized.

I want to see that photo! Could someone post it?

It was a picture that one of mani's family members had on myspace or something. Somebody posted it in associated artists but I don't remember who.

I feel bad because when they divorced he was almost 50 and I believe really wanted to settle down. He didn't want the divorce. I think he was hurt and I wonder if he closed his heart somewhat after that. [Edited 5/23/16 15:45pm]

Prince was old enough to be her dad. There's only one reason a much younger girl would want a rich rock star...well two reasons in her case...money and fame. If Prince didn't want a divorce he would've did what he had to do to keep her. His heart had been broke many times before her and he's broke many himself. Prince love was to himself and his loyalty was to his music...a young beautiful woman by his side made him feel young, and it was good for his image.

Girl at this point just let it out

Ok... I had this all typed up this morning and my iPad died and I lost it ... First of all, I dont know why Mani left Prince, but even if she wrote a tell all book and spelled it out step by step , I would not believe her .I don't trust a woman who would go after another woman's husband . By all accounts Manuella was a fan of Prince and I feel that she put herself in a position to take advantage of the heartache and grieving that Prince and Mayte were going through over the loss of the babies . I agree with the other posters I don't think was ever a vegan , or a true in her heart JW , I feel like she was around enough to know exactly what would make her attractive to Prince ..... I think she molded herself into everything that she thought he would want his woman to be and she snaked her way into his life and his heart and didn't have the decency to let enough time pass for Prince and Mayte to deal with their loss and possibly have a chance to find their way back to each other .She struck while he and Mayte were both very vulnerable . I think she had a goal in mind and she achieved it. BUT ! I think it turned into one of those , " be careful what you wish for or you just might get it " situations. I don't even think her intentions are pure towards Mayte either , I rewatched Hollywood exes last night and I just wanted to smack that self satisfied smile off of her face when she was showing pictures of her baby and telling Mayte that she better hurry up and catch up.Ive been in a similar position as Mayte and while she was smiling and putting up a brave front ,that had to sting . Kinda like my ex sister in law calling on Christmas Day two months after I lost a baby and was all " surprise, Merry Christmas , I'm pregnant again " ( for the 5 th time ) while I kept having miscarriages and tubal pregnancies . And the purple clothing for her and her little girl and saying how she will always love Prince and " I'm not ok ? " I don't believe that she doesn't like the limelight . And if she is truly grieving so badly, she better keep in mind that she has a husband who just might start to feel like he is competing with a dead man and that there might be another "Mani" out there ready to pounce on him while she is doing her grieving ...just like Mayte was ... Hope I don't get your thread locked ... [Edited 5/26/16 17:16pm]

Im sorry for your losses and I agree with everything you said. Just an Opportunistic woman. Some say she knew that Prince's fans didnt like her. I think its cause his fans knew she did not have Prince's best interest at heart.

jesme1999 said:

Thank you ... I've moved on and like Mayte adopted a child..haha he's a grown man now, but still my baby ! And you are absolutely right , it was obvious to many of us that she didn't have his best interest at heart , but I'm sure she provided a shoulder to cry lean on and that she understood how Mayte didn't . And our dear Prince was not thinking with his brain ...

exactly and she was cunning with it too. Knew exactly the right time to step in
