Because, Prince clearly wanted nothing to do with her after they split up. Why didn't she publsih all of these when he was alive?

She comes across as wanting to be known and cryptically post personal pictures probably with the intention of telling people she has a certain value in the Prince's world.

For a second there, I thought you were talking about Mayte. Both could be accused of this stuff. Nobody is perfect here.

Who is actually checking Manuela's facebook to find pictures of Prince??? Some hardcore Prince fans (who mostly don't like her) and maybe her family.

Who is actually reading the PEople magazine article about Prince and Mayte's relationship?--Anyone who buys PEople magazine, Prince hater, Prince hardcore fans, and any one remotely interested in PRince. Much much much bigger audience and much more detrimental to PRince's image (especially from those who tend to jump to the worse conclusions and are hypercritical about a celebrity's flaws.)

I just read an article about Minnesota and Prince..the writer stated that his Minnesota fans are having a bad time becauae there are no answers about his death, the UMG deal feel through and a "tell-all" book by his ex-wife. They certainly were not devastated by well-photographed pictures posted by his second ex-wife.

Why is Mani wrong for posting a photo of her and Prince on instagram on his birthday? Is she supposed to forget he ever existed because she's married to someone else now? Mani posting an instagram photo is wrong but Mayte selling a book which includes intimate details of her marriage to Prince and the loss of their child is ok?

If you have ever listened to Way Back Home Prince made it very clear about what he thought of his "trophy wife."

You can hear the disgust in his voice.

If y'all think P would be okay with either of these women posting about him on social media then you dont know Prince.

Prince pretty much wanted nothing to do with Mayte either. Why did she wait until he was dead to publish her book? I honestly couldn't care less about either of them I just find it fascinating that Mani gets all this hate whereas people are much more sympathetic to Mayte.

There's a difference between posting a photo on instagram on his birthday and writing a book and being on the cover of people magazine. I don't think he'd give two seconds thought about the former. The latter is a different story and most likely why it didn't happen until he was no longer here.

Why are we always comparing with Mayte? We're talking about Mani, right?

Prince was not in contact with Mani and didn't want her around (she was disinvited at the ceremony per his request). This is why she never mentioned him up until after he died.

Please, a majority of the Manuela haters defend Mayte and her book.

That is their problem. I am voicing my opinion about Manuela at this point. Comparing her with Mayte to justify her endeavors is not valid justification. I don't hate either women and wouldn't wish ill on anybody but by isolating each case, there is clearly wrong doing from Manuela. Why posting about Prince now? Why not during the last 10 years if she was still in good terms with Prince? Why fighting unsealing the divorce in court for "safety reasons?" We certainly have seen no interaction between the two of them. Pretending otherwise only makes her case worse thus explaining the vast majority of dislikes towards her.

You know how Prince was with "interaction". Cut her a break. If she didn't post a picture or a Happy Birthday of some kind on his birthday, people would have been pissed, too.

We have no idea how much he talked to her after the divorce. She may be inconsistent about the whole school thing. (was it his 'people' she talked to? was it him?, did he agree to it or did she just reach out to him and he died before giving an answer?) . Who knows? Maybe, they talked in 2013 about something. Maybe, he didn't make the decision to 'disinvite" her and Eric to that event, but it was just assumed by the organizers that it would be awkward? Who the hell knows?

That makes total sense and is conveyed neutrally and respectfully. I love these types of conversation.

However, I still see discrepancies in her "doing". We'd have to go way back to see contradictions and unjustified statements. But not tonight

I agree. Unfortunately, I don't think it's gonna end anytime soon with M1 & M2.

They be like......Y'all know I was married to Prince, right?!!

Actually M2 doesn't bother me as much as M1.

I think Mayte's book was put on hold due to the publishing company--not sure if it had anything to do with her, but she probably didn't want to put it out right after Prince died, ya know?

Oh Man! The first time I saw that cover of People magazine, I was at the check-out at the grocery store, and I got this rage inside of me like "Oh, no you didn't!!"

That really got my Irish up that day!!

Prince was crushed when Mani left him. When you do Prince like that........gurl, BYE!!

Agreed. Either you like one or the other, but not both! LOL

When it comes to disliking these women, I'm equal opportunity. Though it is kind of amusing to watch them I wonder if they did an ex-wives show now that Prince is gone, if there would be dishes flying?

I think you should be happy you weren't married to him and have been loved as a fan. He loved his fans like crazy for sure. Better on this side than the losing one.

purplerabbithole said:

Right. That's the point. It seems like there are very few Mayte fans who are also Mani fans. My impression is Mayte gets a lot more sympathy around here where as there is pure hate for Mani.

You know what purplerabbithole? I think if you look back on what the man said over all the years of his career about not wanting his private life out there that it's a pretty valid assumption to make and I do think he was clear about it.

To this rabid pack of haters and jealous fanatics?
yep.

The ex-wives are greedy opportunitist. Just because you cannot see them for what they are does not make anyone is a hater. What is there to be jealous of crazy ass women who have no fucking job skills other than laying on there backs and picking a man's pockets even after he is dead? Who would be jealous of that skill set or maybe you think we all want to be home wreakers who go with married men. Mani is lucky she tried to be friends with Mayte because most women would have knocked her block off a long time ago.

She needs to tend to her man and her children and stop spending time carrying on about a man she divorced and made clear in the divorce papers she saw has her personal ATM machine.

You never saw Prince utter a word about these two because he knew how to move on with his life one of the better decisions he made because marrying these two was in the top two worst things he ever did.

He was crytal clear about it and these two women are fully aware of what they are doing.
