She chose this life, fucked up or not. If she don't want reminders of Prince she should stay the hell away from the music biz...

Mayte just needs to master the art of completely and efficiently excising all traces, reminders and personal emotions pertaining to people from her past that she finds uncomfortable to deal with...you know, kinda like Prince is so good at doing. If can follow Prince's example in dealing with exs, she too can arrive at a place where she can pretend none of ever happened and it won't affect her anymore.

She also needs to learn the skill of telling jackass morons whose attempts at lame humor at the expense of a not-so-humorous subject (ie her marriage) to fuck the fuck off.

Damn, She is still flamin hot. I wish she was still on stage doin her thang with P.

Some of ya'll are cruel...although some of the jokes are funny, but not so fun. I think Mayte should've just said she liked the video and that's it. And I would've slapped the co-host off camera for being a jerk. It's even more stupid to me if they discussed how they were 'to act' even before showing Prince's video also.

I have a feeling that Prince keeps contact with this ex. Ok not with his flings.

The last remark is so true.

hey, if I were in her position, I would have said no too....

Why wouldn't this hurt?

You know when Prince was in concert in Denver he played 7, and I could see the sadness in his eyes..

They were once very much in love.

It's not that everybody hates her. It's that some people get tired of a certain segment of fans pulling out the pity pot for her. We all know Prince is difficult, but some fans act like Mayte should be canonized just because she was married to the guy. The fact of the matter is she is not/and was not as innocent as a lot of people make her out to be. She's got huge jangling skeletons in her closet that folks go to great lengths to dismiss or ignore.

How do any of us know what skeletons Mayte has or doesn't have in her closet? I would guess that 99.9% of us weren't there, so none of us know jack. People act like they know things about Prince, Mayte, Mani, and whoever, because of lyrics to Prince songs. Those are just lyrics people. For real.

And, I think most people just feel sorry for her because of the whole lost baby situation. That's one thing we do know about- at least peripherally. I would feel bad for anyone that had this happen to them, famous or not.

Or perhaps she doesn't deserve any sympathy for that either because of these "skeletons" we are all ignoring.

Please.

GREAT post, and well said.

I'd also love to know what's the deal with (some) people seemingly continually attempting to seek out *in everything Mayte does nowadays* some aspect that she's trying to 'cash in' on having once been married to Prince or that everything she does/says relates to that in some way. It's like some kind of witchhunt mentality.

A couple people around here act as if she threw a hissyfit or had a breakdown on that show just b/c she had to show a P video and suggested that maybe she 'get out of the business' if she 'couldn't handle it'. ??? WTF did that rationale stem from? Didn't sound to me like she couldn't handle it - sounded more to me like she's a normal woman who was placed in an uncomfortable position due to the crassness and boorishness of her moron co-host.

Some people rag on Mayte and treat her like she's weekold dog sh*t merely because they're so obsessed with Prince that they think he's perfect and could do wrong so therefore Mayte HAS to be the evil one that ruined their marriage and "hurt Prince".

what is this?

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

damned if i know.

i know it sucks to have to be remined of an ex-boyfriend, nevermind an ex-husband who you lost a baby with. but all this deep psychoanalysis of mayte's mental state is a bit...

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

Its a thread

This is bool

Redayh said:

Lyrics to songs? Eh? Not sure what I posted has to do with lyrics to songs. I'm talking about things that actually happened. And my post has nothing to do with the loss of their baby. People drag that tragedy out everytime someone says she's anything less than perfect. I'm more than sure that was a real rough patch for her. But that donesn't mean everyone has to sympathize with every uncomfortable situation she's put in when it pertains to Prince or Tommy Lee for that matter.
