Yes, but it has also been implied that Prince has been on drugs himself. Maybe that is why he has been away from the public so long.

I can only imagine how difficult it must be to be the sibling of a world-famous talented individual who will probably go on to become a timeless legend in his chosen profession.

why do people believe everything they read in the tabloids?

it's not like he'd be doing her any favors giving her money. . specially if she was hooked on crap. sounds like he tried to do the right thing . . .

meanwhile she sells him out to the tabloid?

don't you just love how it has that "prince is a total jerk-no wait, he's not-yes, he is" feel to it

keep her on a yo-yo? isn't that the way susannah described her time with prince?

Obviously he tried to help her but she didn't want to be helped. i've had people who I've tried to help who just don't want to be helped.
I don't think it's the most humane thing to go complain about your brother when he was the one to get you in rehab.

Something doesn't make sense about this story: When she released her debut album (88 I believe), People Mag. did a story on her & her boys were already around 8-10 years old. So when was she prostituting for Pampers?!? If she's been having a drug problem since those kids were wearing diapers, that's one hell of a long drug addiction.

either that or she wuz so zonked... ah, well.

We are all responsible for our own actions. If an individual is not committed to helping themselves, it won't matter how much love and help family and friends offer. Sometimes the only thing loved ones can do, is help them experience the consequences of their own actions. So sad however when children are involved. Hopefully those around them are assuring that they are okay.

at the pampers bru-hu-ha

If this is true then I feel very bad for her.

Agreed

. . .glad that she's clean, but after only three months and already she's blabbing to tabloids and not taking responsibility. . .the prognosis doesn't seem to promising for her to stay clean. Most of my clients who present this way don't. . .

Whether parental, societal, or completely personal, I can only imagine most people would feel an immense pressure to live upto, or carve their own niche on a similar plateau.

EXACTLY!!! They have no right attacking Prince as if he's somehow responsible for her poverty. She's the crack addict that doesn't take care of herself why should he? Clearly he has helped her but she's pissed away all his help. What a cheep shot by the enquirer, but that's what their good at.

go to national enquirer.com(i think i spelled it right) get the number for back issues. Once you call tell them the date of the issue and a little about whats on the cover. i was told it would take 2-4 weeks to get mine. hope this helps you

sumtymes said:

Amen!!!

Read between the lines, you guys. The Enqiuerer probably came to her and offered her a bunch of money that she couldn't refuse for her story. If yr poor or having a hard time... you don't turn down big money.

That story is probably all embellishment of fact.

Dont believe everything you read.

Wow, I can't believe people are still talking about this.

I didn't know Prince's sister was addicted to me.
