Ex-girlfriend exposes a sexually sadist Prince


Washington, May 22 (ANI): Ex-flame of pop singer Prince has accused him of being a violent sexual eccentric who forced her to submit to his warped sexual demands.

Charlene Friend, 30, claims the star made her call him "Messiah" and threw sex orgies at his mansion to videotape his romps with her and other women, according to a report in The Sun.

Explosive court papers filed in Santa Monica, California, say Prince (44), who became a star through hits like "Purple Rain" in 1984, repeatedly abused her physically and mentally.

Charlene was an 18-year-old virgin when she met the pint-sized singer, who was 14 years older, in a Hollywood bar. In her statement about their two-year affair, she said, "Prince believed he was the Messiah and if you engaged in sex with him, you became one with him. He would have bizarre sex parties where he had different theme rooms and have different acts in each room".

"He had cages, chains, whips in these rooms. Sometimes he would watch and sometimes he would participate. I was also filmed having sex with Prince without my permission", Charlene stated.

"Prince ran hot and cold, treating me nicely, then being cruel. He would kick me out of bed, ordering me to sleep elsewhere. I would want to leave but he would prevent me", she added.

Charlene, now 30, also said that Prince made her "his love slave, starved her, insisted they communicated by telepathy and had a secret gay affair".

"He said I belonged to him. He threatened to have me killed after we broke up, saying no one else could have me. As a result of the severe abuse, I have suffered anxiety, depression and panic attacks", she claimed.

The case stems from a row over gifts Prince gave her. The star called in his lawyers after Charlene offered them for sale. Now, she is taking legal action for defamation and emotional distress and could win millions.

However, Prince, said to have recently married a former employee, 18 years younger to him, says that the allegations were "totally false".

The "Messiah"-thing sounds believable to me. Remenber, this is the man who publicly demonstrated his arrogance by stating during his days of New Age belief that he only had this life left to reach perfection.

And the "different theme rooms" make me think of the "hallway speech" on Computer Blue (long version) and "The Halls Of Desire". So maybe those were references to actual rooms in his home? hmmm

"Prince ran hot and cold, treating me nicely, then being cruel. He would kick me out of bed, ordering me to sleep elsewhere. I would want to leave but he would prevent me", she added.


Sounds just like Sinead O' Connor's experience of not being allowed to leave.

Charlene, now 30, also said that Prince made her "his love slave, starved her, insisted they communicated by telepathy and had a secret gay affair".


Sheena Easton and Kim Basinger have also mentioned this, plus "Loveleft, Loveright". And he supposedly also starved Mayte by putting her on a diet during her pregnancy.

So all in all, I think there is much truth to this story. I believe him capable of all of this, yes.

Absolutely!! Check out 'I would die 4 u' + some of the lyrics on TRC.

Yes - btw, does anyone have the full set of lyrics to 'Compuetr blue'??


"Sometimes he would watch and sometimes he would participate. I was also filmed having sex with Prince without my permission", Charlene stated.

Prince used to go to clubs and 'people-watch'. Also, this line from 'Alphabet Street' is fairly explantory
"Excuse me baby, I don't mean to be rude, It's just tonight, I'm not really in the mood. If you don't mind, I would like to watch"
Erroll Flynn used to hold similar theme nights



"Prince ran hot and cold, treating me nicely, then being cruel. He would kick me out of bed, ordering me to sleep elsewhere. I would want to leave but he would prevent me", she added.

Same with Vanity. Almost every ex-band member and employee has stated the same thing

Charlene, now 30, also said that Prince made her "his love slave, starved her, insisted they communicated by telepathy and had a secret gay affair".

I've heard of both the slave and telepathy thing before. How about the gay thing??

His desire for that is arguably expressed in "Loveleft, Loveright." And think Pearl and Diamond.

Plus, I think, the video for Beautiful had some lesbian action in it. (I haven't seen it in a long time, but I seem to remember something about a movie theater and Prince faking being appalled?)

For some unexplainable reason, some het men get off on seeing two women together.
Except for Madonna and Roseanne Barr, I haven't heard about any het women getting off on seeing two men together. confuse

As seen in the video for Violet The Organ Grinder?

No, her suit was thrown out and I think she made of had to return the stuff she was trying to sell.

I am sure some of what she has said is true. However, I am sure no one forced her to stay around and put up with his crap.
