She deleted her now-infamous post, and there's a bunch of folk on there shaming her.

REALLY?? Folk are truly somethin else.

I wish she'd just post a big FUCK YOU and unfriend these assholes.

Oh My Now that we can agree on! That comment...

Just proof that there is just no pleasing CRAZY and BITTER.

This is why you should only have your real friends on fb. But nooo..I have to have 5000 friends to show how popular I am. Well it is clear your "friends" dont give a shit about you.

FB is tricky like that. If you're running a business you might tend to accept "friends" who are not necessarily friends, so I can see how that can happen. That is the beauty of the FanPages. If I was her (or any public figure) I'd start to transition in that direction, keeping the personal page for actual friends.

Yea. Precisely I was gonna say fan page.....fan of what exactly I dont know No I know she has a charity ..But inviting strangers into your personal world is dicey. With a fan page she gets to share what she wants strangers to know without letting them all up into her beeswax.

Yeah, it's weird that she doesn't just do it that way. Letting some of these obsessed fans have any glimpse into her personal life is a bad idea.

"It's such a slippery slope when you're surrounded by yes men and enablers."

THAT is pretty clear and obvious about Prince.

Some days I come to the org and some days I read books. Why would I need a facebook? Actually, I never understood the purpose. Pick up the phone and call somebody or better yet, email or grab a pen or pencil and write. Call me old fashioned, just call me.

Ok, I have all of these FB friends where the majority of those are people who are playing the same FB game(s) as me. The saddest part is when you have a family member or two who you're FB friends with and you don't talk no more on FB than you do my any other means. So, I only go on FB to play the games and that's as social as I get.

Because, when its all said in done, how many of those 1000+ FB friends of yours are going to visit you in the hospital? Just asking...

I know this is probably old news, but what did Manuela say on Mayte's FB? I think someone mentioned correcting Manuela about it in the past?

Let's see.....how many of us here are in a position to really help Prince now that we have been made aware that he might have some kind of a problem?

The original comment she made was out of left field and inappropriate. The follow up was even more left field and inappropriate. She should just refrain from speaking about her exhusband on Facebook. Or, you know, in public at all.

However, those sketchy fucking Prince fans who are harrassing her need to take a good hard look in the mirror.

Each and every one of us, if we consciously make the decision to stop being his enablers.

My question is why are people offended? Why don't they just de-friend her if they are so up in arms? Do they know any better?

I may have a problem with something someone says, but I only take it personally if I am defending someone I know. Not someone I THINK I know. These people act as if they are protecting their best friend by their reactions. Which is all kinds of crazy.

johnart said:

I didn't read the thread in detail but noticed that and had to laugh.

HER fuckin wall.

Really?? You don't like how she feels about Prince (or whatever else about her), you're gonna friend-request her, she's gonna be nice enough to accept your request and then you're gonna try to take up for her ex if she's putting her thoughts on her page.

"she's gonna be nice enough to accept your request" I'm sorry but that is FUNNY! you really think she's accepted 2053 people as friends to be "nice"? aaahahhaha!

just like my wall...yes I can say whatever I want on it...but it doesn't mean I'm not going to catch hell if my friends and family don't like it. She can unfriend whoever she doesn't like too right? it's a 2 way street.

I agree that some folx got overly upset but...like others have said the only reason she has 2053 friends on FB is because of her connection with Prince and I suppose Eric Benet, so being the SMART lady she is...she should not have been so surprised by the reaction. I mean DER!

I dont know if you have a facebook account but I've seen people post status updates and sometimes there are disagreements and debates.....but they are civil....I totally don't support the attacks on her page. I really think she thought she was going to get all supportive comments.

It's no secret that I've never cared for Manuela. I would really love to be able to just blow off what she said as just the attention seeking rants of a jealous ex...but I can't. I just cannot do it because I honestly believe and have been saying for quite some time now...that SOMETHING is very wrong with Prince!

Rationalize/shoot the messenger...all you want but the message....

"hoping never to see prince on 20/20 doing a charlie sheen-esque rant. so sad."

just does not come out of thin air and sometimes has to be delivered by any means necessary...for the very purpose of making somebody pay attention to some...thing. Whether they like it or not!

I have to agree with Hatrina on this one. I love Prince, but she was married to the man, and was around him on a daily basis. Should she have put him on blast like that? Maybe not. But there is something "surrounding" Prince that doesn't feel right. I just want him to be O.k. I know he probably doesn't want a woman that keeps it "real" with him, but sometimes that's what we need. That surrounding himself with "Yes Men" comment jumped out at me.

and you don't think she was one of them? there's something not right about her either IMO, its lik now, after the fact with her new man...she makes a statement like that on facebook, which she has every right too, but if she really cared about I would think she would choose to reach out to him in through another channel.

Well yes, I say "nice enough" not because I think she's actual friends with 2053 or because it even matters how those people came to request her friendship (of course most got to know her through Prince, who's saying otherwise?) but because you can bet that if she didn't accept requests folk would be on here blastin what a stuck up bitch she was. So there's really no winning at anything once you've been with Prince, is there?

None of that changes folk getting crazed over her comments being ridiculous.

Definitely Wonder, I agree with you. She could easily pick up the phone and call the man. (Would he answer? I don't know) I'm new to the org, as far as posting. I usually lurk, because this site can be a bit much. I don't feel one way or the other about her. I don't pay too much attention to the women in his life. If he is having some issues (Hell, who isn't!) I hope he's surrounded by people who love and care about him enough to call him on it. I doubt it though,

I understand why she did it; maybe she wishes she said more publicly at divorce time.

HOWEVER

One of the things that I respect about many of his exes is that they don't dog him. They take the settlement and leave.

Take the high road Mani. You must have told him what he needs to do a million times in person. He chose not to change. You chose to leave. Take the high road, shut your mouth and late FATE be his master. Certainly Jehovah can figure out how good of a witness Prince is without any help from anybody else and IF he is a man who is false in many ways, time will tell.

You can not fool all of the people all of the time.

Yes, I think his ways put Mani through hell during their marriage. However I don't believe for one moment a booksmart but not so street smart girl from Toronto named Manuela Testolini would be living the comfortable life or met the man she is engaged to now if it were not for the big break Prince gave her simply by hiring her. It was not ALL bad.

right....so she's not accepting requests because she's being nice, and I really don't think it's because she didn't want to look like a stuck up bitch either. People are passonate about Prince, she knows that and she knows why she has 2053 friends on her FB page. Yes, I agree that some folx are over the top but I don't agree with calling people "crazy" or "bitter" or "delusional" or whatever other words are being spewed out here on this thread. It's the pot calling the kettle black.

I most certainly think that SHE didn't help matters...AT ALL...when and how she got with him. Which is why I've never cared for her, in the first place. However, if she knows what is wrong and tries to make somebody pay attention and it results in somebody caring enough about Prince to stop kissing his ass long enough to what really going on and get him some help.

I can and will forgive her methods of getting the point across.

I see your point and agree but I just don't see how she could accomplish that by putting a statement out on facebook publicly rather than reach out to someone that is close to him. She's what D List celebrity now haha, I'm sure she knows how to connect with his inner circle more than we do. Knowing how Prince is and how he keeps things private and Manuela would know that more than ever, I'm sure she knows it will only pissed him more and he mos likely will not listen with his stubborn ass the minute he finds out what she did.

Fuck, see this is why she shouldn't have made a comment like that. She even said she didn't mean anytihng by it, but now some people who don't know how she is believe the bull.

If she was truly concerned about something with him, then why cloak it in some stupid remark about Charlie Sheen (who I'm SO FUCKING TIRED OF)? Why wouldn't she say what she meant and stick with it instead of playing her game of post & remove?

She's the one who accepted all these unknown people as 'friends' to fulfill some strange need to feel like people like her. She has to know that the majority are only there because of Prince, so why accept them when she's not married to him anymore?

You are bringing up a good point.

Manuela began working for Prince in 1998 and got 3 years of seeing this man's ways in action before marrying him. She also could have heard Mayte's side of their marriage crisis if she wanted to before marrying him. If she wasn't maliable Manuela and always taking Prince's word and putting him on a pedestal from 1998 to 2001 he would never have married her.

More then likely she was a key enabler at that time. However the wife who could not "bend in the wind without breaking" at that time was Mayte. Something that was posted a while back on the org tells me that Prince tells his women since Mayte that their marriage failed because she was a tempermental and jealous woman, prone to temper tantrums and screaming fits.

Somehow they all believe Prince's side until they get in the woman before them's position. Then suddenly they aren't so supportive and nodding their head all day long and following his order like a puppy is not so much fun anymore.
