LARRY GRAHAM IS SUCH A NICE, COOL PERSON THAT IS A TRUE FRIEND TO PRINCE.
MAYTE WAS NOTHING BUT A GOLD-DIGGING HO! SHE DID NOTHING BUT USE HIM AND BREAK HIS HEART AND IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYBODY JUST SEEMS TO OVERLOOK THAT FACT!

Wow, someone's Larry's new toy.

excuse me but ??? wasn't mayte a mere 16 yrs old when prince started singing about wanting to pop her cherry? from where i was standing it seemed like 32 yr old adult prince was the one who 'used' mayte.

then he tossed her aside after she lost her baby and 'annulled' their 'eternal' union. i remember when his website ran that little article about how he'd been caught cheating on mayte 'with his woman' at the chanhassen movie theatre. it was when i lost respect for him....

XxAxX said:

Exactly.People on this site always make harsh comments about Mayte,but they conveniently forget everything that she has gone through...


***Losing her baby


***Having her husband annul their marriage after only a few years (saying he doesn't believe in "contracts").Can you imagine how hard it must have been for her to explain this to her family and friends?

***having to endure her husband releasing personal songs like "Silly Game" and "I Love U But I Don't Trust U Anymore" (songs that were obviously directed at her)

***having to watch her husband hang around with Larry Graham and become a Jehovah's Witness,which is not the lifestyle he was leading when they got married.

***rumors of her husband's infidelity with Mani


And no,I'm not saying Mayte was a saint.But let's not act as if being married to someone like Prince was a bed or roses for her.

ps:

oh ok. i didn't totally 'lose respect' for him as a musician or as a human being, but at that time any illusions i had about prince actually putting his money where his mouth is went right out the window.

I think we all know by now that P does not have respect for woman. He may slow down now that he is a little older but, I bet his current wife life with him is not a bed of roses.

Prince...is that you?

BeautifullyComplex said:

i hope thats not true about prince not respecting women?? cause i cant imagine prince ever disrespecting a woman.

Tiffypoo2004 said:

I don't want to think that either, I really don't

BeautifullyComplex said:

yeah that would really brake my heart cause i really respect prince. i hope he does have respect for females cause a lot of females are his fans and if he doesnt respect females well that means he doesnt respect me or his other fans.

wow..thats a bit irrelevant...



also i was feeling u and ready 2 jump on the sympathy 4 mayte band wagon til u said the bolded..while it may not have been right 4 prince 2 release personal songs about them to the public, he is an artist and thats how he expresses hisself, also mayte aint the first woman 2 get dogged in a song. as 4 the larry graham jw thing.,..people change..i think thats irrelevant 2 her having REALLY gone thru something, in the pain/heartache sense...and its even more irrelevant when u think about they DID loose a baby and all, so turning 2 GOD is quite natural..can't have sympathy 4 that

That in itself had to be extremely difficult, I don't know how she endured that.

This sequence is really mental cruelty. Losing a baby have sent people off the deep end even when they had love and support of their spouse. Anyone of these things could send lots of people in the deep end, to have ALL of them happen like that... Hell she could ghost write a book.

Well, all I got to say is when you go picking roses in someone else's garden, you got NO ONE TO BLAME BUT YOURSELF if you get a thorn.

Tiffypoo2004 said:

You must be young,
Prince respect for a woman that he was romantically interested in is the exception of the norm.
Ask Sheila E, Jill Jones, Susannah, (he was going between these 3 at the same time,) or Jill Jones, Susan, and Vanity, ( he was going between these 3 at the same time). Or Nona Gaye, Mayte, (he was going between at least these 2 at the same time).
And the countless others that remain on the downlow.

they had already lost their baby during the Oprah Show, huh?

i cant even imagine how hard that was for her.

DavidEye said:

i really dont think Mayte was a gold-digger.she went through some rough ish from Prince not that shes was perfect but some of that crap was painful 4 me 2 even read all at the same time

Mayte's mom may have been the biggest gold digger of all. Who the hell takes their 16 year-old daughter to meet Prince under the guise of wanting to "work" with him? Mayte was a dancer. Not a singer. Not a musician. Why wasn't her mom signing her up with a world renown dance company, not a world renown freak? (Not that there's anything wrong with freaks. However, there's a lot wrong with pedophilia!)

You do have a point

prodigalfan said:

Well, yeah, but stage moms always look for the golden ticket. That's their whole point. But I don't think she had pedophilia in mind!

let the past go... i mean really does this affect your sleep at night?. let it go already. people grow and move on. you should.

[Edited 5/22/05 1:06am]


I meant the pedophile (you know who), not the mom. Well, I guess we better grow up now and move on. We've been warned

Funk once, funk twice, funk dat sho feels nice.

How was she a gold-digger? He married her!

sosgemini said:

Yeah. I was checking out that footage of the Oprah interview recently. It was painful to watch. She seemed so young and naive sitting there with him on the couch. He was behaving like a schoolgirl. Having to sit there when your baby just died. Mayte looks like she probably broke down crying between takes. But there was so much publicity surrounding the show and the need to promote Emancipation, they just went forward with everything.

So sad. I think it's ridiculous to call Mayte a gold-digger. He went after her when she was a TEEN, as has been pointed out. They were really in love; it's so obvious.

Also, I wouldn't say that Prince singles out women to disrespect. I think he generally doesn't treat people that well. He's a spoiled user. Maybe he's changed with Mani. Who knows. He's really on the down low now, so it'll be harder to get the dirt.
