don't forget the part about how mani built a moon-sized space station that had the power to blow up entire planets, and also the story about where she was sentenced to the phantom zone for crimes of genocide against her fellow kryptonians. though i might be getting my facts a little twisted up. redface



Didn't she also go around killing off her rivals then painting them gold? Or did she spew saliva on them whereby turning them into bloodthirsty zombies? Oh Wait...that was Prince. My bad. falloff

People here generally worshiped Mayte, and have been dissing every female since.

So what's new?

I don't like it either. It seems petty and irrelevant 2 me.

But that was a nasty divorce, and I'm sick of folks blaming the NPGMC shutdown on a mysterious whim of Prince's.

That being said... I don't judge nor condemn her. It's the nature of a divorce, that's all.
[Edited 3/18/09 9:01am]
I don't care either way for Mani or Mayte, other than I think they are both beautiful because I do not know them. None of us do.

Nasty divorce? Says who? And no, I don't care about some source that ain't Prince or one of his ex-wives.


I agree. It's not my business either.

U may have missed something I wrote above, but yes, the NPGMC was shut down 4 a very good reason, and not on a mysterious whim.

If U don't wanna believe me, fine. All good, Don't care.

The source is reliable and credible. That's all I can say. Sorry.

WAITAMINNIT!!!!!

Why in hell is that so hard 2 believe??

It is very typical in a divorce 4 assets 2 be assessed and divided.

The NPGMC was a commercial asset.

I can't confirm this at all, but I'd be willing 2 bet that "Feel Better, Feel Good, Feel Wonderful" was a way 4 Prince 2 say, "Don't worry. I'll be back".

Exactly, any source other than P is unreliable. And I doubt Mani would have told him anything.

that actually makes a lot of sense as to why it was shutdown so abruptly.

I don't care why NPGMC shut down. Would have been cool to be given a headsup because a lot of us were friends there. And no I don't believe you but it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things because these are people I don't know.

Look, I really like U both, but as I said, I can't and won't call out my source.

How many times have U seen me post on any of the "Prince's Women" threads?

I just happened 2 see something disturbing here, and had 2 speak on it.

PEACE.

What kind of impression she gives differs from person to person and it's probably hard to claim one thing because a source has experienced things and feels a certain way. You have a source that has had negative experiences, I have a source that found Mani to be absolutely wonderful.

I wasn't saying anything about her character at all.

Not in the slightest.

What I said about the NPGMC closing is true, not hearsay. I'm not making any statements about a relationship, Prince, or Mani.

4 all I know, Mani could be quite wonderful, and I've never said ANYTHING about her being anything contrary.

AS I SAID, I've been uncomfortable with the amount of bashing she got, and shit... look at the way folks R bashing Brenda.

It would make sense that NPGMC would be dissolved rather than be subject to a divorce settlement, especially if Mani played a significant role in its operations. She could make a legitimate claim that it (and its revenue) was due in part to her efforts and therefore joint property. That is the nature of divorce indeed if that's how it went down.

If that's what went down then it lends credence to the idea that Mani did in fact play a critical role in many of Prince's fan outreach during that time.

But you did call her oportunistic and said she was "interrupting recording sessions unnecessarily, trying 2 get other people recording time, etc." Isn't that saying something about her character?

Exactly. Everyone involved handled their business without making it public knowledge, and they all seem to be moving on just fine.


Yes, Yes...so very true, however its because they couldn't, however there has been public knowledge, just under radar. cool

Yeah, but "under the radar" usually translates to hearsay, which usually translates poorly, which brings me back to the fact that when it comes to the particulars of these people's lives, the only person who is the ultimate authority of knowledge for us is the almighty Lady Miss Nunya. nod

So it seems, yet trust me the inspiration was not from her... I am sure Mani is good person from what I have observed, yet lets be reminded that alot of people do alot of things,yet have a deceptive heart. I have work for alot of non-profits and have found this so, which truly hurts. However there is this saying so-called angels of light:) I had no problems with Mani, truly based on I have never been around her "enough" to truly see, however based on those who were and have personal knoweledge, let's just say she is not what it seems. Truly sad for such a beautiful woman, one who was labeled an oportunist, by someone dear and close to the park...hmmm on the other hand, as our man stated, they had me fooled for awhile...and that just goes to show beauty of the flesh is carnal and only goes skin deep. I wish her well in hear endeavors with the children and Eric. I hope she never comes in contact with the woman she inpersonated to get Prince eek Show nuff be an ass whoopin in the trunk!

In refernce to the site closing & divorce, this is probably true... I thought it was cute that it was closed on July 4th. There is one thing I dearly admire about Major Nelson, his ability to say something without saying something. the whole Crystal Ball, NPG project were just testing grounds for what is to come. I think we better hold on to our wings, the mother is about to blow!
Y'all are just pathetic now. I never, ever see Prince mentioned with the venom that Mani is talked about.

And who are these unnamed sources? Obviously not true friends of either Prince or mani to spread rumors about them.


Soory if I came across as if I seem to be speaking about her, I've read your post and have to agree with you in some. As far as the sources, so sorry I have to protect then, as far as friends, oh they are good people and just keep it real, respect P to the fullest. Rumors to us are lies. As I said, Mani just wasn't everything it seemed, that is all. As far as her inspiration amd inpersonation, well lets just say she got alot from certain people and passed it off as herself:) However most of her ideas were given by someone else, while letting P believe it was her whem in fact it was someone else. As I was told, oportunist,

No argumnet from me...darling. Im sure now that she is away from Prince, if she comes in contact with these folks, I am sure they will tell her about herself if need be, they respected her whem she was with Prince, however that protection is gone;) You can consider me a friend, if I ever have a problem with ya..trust me I'm gonna tell ya, why ? becasue I love ya , plus what is the use telling anyone else, usually stis nore shit if you ain't speaking with one who cares and wants to help. So yes, if someone is talking shit behind your back they ain't your friend. You can come play with us, we'll tell ya in your face wink

I don't wish to place any disparagement on Manuela or her personal/previous life.

I'm just here to let you know that, as a friend of Eric Benet's, I know that Eric has a personal girlfriend who he's been with for years. He protects her from the public eye because of his celebrity.

I don't know personally of whatever arrangement Manuela has with Eric Benet. But if she's looking at a deep love connection, there's somebody else already filling that space with Eric.

This was only to clear up the speculation of there being a deep boyfriend/girlfriend committed hookup between Eric Benet and Manuela. No so.
