I keep hearing bits and pieces on here about how Manuela used to post on the Org, how she stalked Prince and wore Mayte's clothes, how she gave up being a Jehovah's Witness as soon as they divorced and I want the whole story! What exactly is the story? Did she pretend to be a JW? I thought her family were JW's? And why in the world would Mayte befriend her on Facebook if she came in and stole her husband and put on her dresses? If what I've heard on here is true, this woman is a snake! The kind of woman the Bible warns about! Holy crap!

Can anyone give details from start to finish?

Why should we care for that?

Are you aware this is a forum about a MUSICIAN?

Do you care for music or just for rubbish?

NO this is an Associated artist and PEOPLE forum- Manueala was an ASSOCIATED PERSON in his life- right? She is a person and she was associated with Prince, yes?

Yes I love rubbish that's why it's so nice talking to you-

I get it. You and Spinlight are the bullies on here. I don't care to go toe to toe with you so I will go away. Now go ahead and start saying "goody!" and whatever else you want to spout. Bully.

Why start a new thread about this, you should just post in the existing one, this one will probably get locked.

A serious answer to your question. NO. No one can give details from start to finish because all of it is mostly rumour based on scant fact.

Yes- she was a Prince fan prior to meeting Prince. She posted on a now defunct
internet board.

Yes- Prince employed her while he was still married to Mayte.

Yes- Prince married her after Mayte and Prince divorced.

Yes- she was studying JW during their relationship.

Yes- they got a divorce.

Beyond that I don't know what anyone REALLY knows other than speculation and innuendo.

So unless someone comes with "I was standing right next to them when they did or said "X" - or "Manuela and/or Prince confided directly to me" - it's all a load of fammy BS.

Correct me if I am wrong.

If she is not a stalker she must have been the luckiest girl in the world, to go from being a die hard online fan (I know people who knew her then) in Canada, to somehow end up in Minneapolis, at Paisley Park of all places, as an off again on again volunteer before she somehow became a permanent employee. If you look at all the articles she interviewed in, she is very vague on how she got from point A to point B. I may not have been there in person but I find it to be one helluva coincidence. I mean damn!

Mani did not post on the Org. She alledgedly posted on the Alt Prince Music group.

I read the posts. She was chiming in with a request for a copy of a bootleg.

Yeah I met a guy who used to sell to her. He said you could imagine his shock when he saw her selling water at one of the Love4oneanother events.

That seems to cover all the facts.

To read about the UNSUBSTANTIATED rumors and whispers try searching the Org for posts around 2004. That is the year I joined... and plenty of Orgers were posting stories (some of them were first hand accounts) about all that mess.

Try Google "Manuela, or Mani" in Google's advance search and isolate your search to the site: Prince.org.

"first hand accounts". Even I would like to read those. Tho I am guessing it is people who knew her from the boards...not involved in her and Prince's life together. So that isn't particularly interesting imo.

No, the "first hand accounts" were people who frequented Paisley Park during the Celebration parties. They went so often that they could tell when there was redecorating going on. And also had interatction with Manuela.

One Orger related the story of seeing Mani wearing one of Mayte's dresses at one of the Celebrations.

And then there others who chimed in about how much fun the Celebrations were... so there were several Orgers who remininced about those times... and not one refuted the Orger's story... so....

Other Orgers reported seeing Mani driving Prince's car getting gas, driving Prince's car to the gym to work out... etc. So that is what I meant by 'first hand accounts"

*I* haven't been to any Celebration Party or to Minneapolis.

So...basically they can comment on pretty public stuff. I have no idea how someone would know if it was a Mayte outfit or an outfit that looked like Mayte would wear. And you realize Prince had a lot of cars. I know that people at the gas station up the road from Paisley saw Prince pumping gas, and employees driving his car dropping off videos near the Byerly's or picking up coffee at the Caribou inside Byerly's. My point is that all the supposed "details" are pretty much speculation - the only people who know the story are Prince and Manuela. Period.

Yeah, no one can say for sure... it is more or less specutlation. But as far as the dress... it was my impression of the story that the dress was one Mayte wore at a public event and was photographed in it. This has been told by more than 1 person from the Minnie area... so I'm inclined to believe it.

The car was by a former Orger Zelaria who herself was a stalker type. She *knew* what Prince's care look like. As I recall it was a white benz or BMW.... and Zelaria was so upset that Mani would drive this car without having it cleaned. I guess it was winter time and the white care was FILTHY (as most cars are in the winter) and Zel was beside herself that Mani would not "have the decency to get the car properly washed before driving out." or something like that.

Oh and not all posts are about "the story of Prince and Manuela"... some are just stories of Orgers interactions with Mani and whether they thought she was a lovely sweet person, or a stuck up stalker.

Anywhoo, to the OP, if you want to read up... just search like I described in earlier post. It's all in Prince.Org archives and can be easily found.

Stalker seems a bit harsh. I do think she put herself in his line of vision verses him seeking her out. Truthfully I think Misty is the first Prince woman, IF INDEED SHE IS PRINCES NEXT GF, that was not handed to him on a silver platter since Vanity. He actually pursued Vanity and he sought out Misty, professionally anyway.

In the case of all his other woman I don't think there was ever a chance of rejection. If he wanted them they were his for the asking. That is my opinion. I don't think Manuela did anything that needed the attention of the police though, .

Oh no, and you are right... stalker is harsh. She pursued the man, got his attention and he went for it.

I am not all hard azz about the subject 100%. It may seem that way, because I can't get beyond that adultry is wrong, and particulary brutal in that circumstance (eg Prince, Mayte and Mani triangle). And some people can not even acknowledge the simple fact that adultry is wrong. They either say it was adultry, that Mayte deserved it, or that she was the one who did it to Prince, or that it never happened.

Once acknowledgement that wrong is wrong I can move on to say that I can understand how events could have happened. And seriously, if put in the shoes with either of the 3 players here... I could very well done the same thing... (even Mani) After all Prince is fine as hell, very charming, attentive, well loved and adored by fans and rich. Who wouldn't find it difficult to resist all of that?

I imagine from interviews and stories I have read over the years.. it went down something like this. Disclaimer... pure speculation based on rumors and "insiders coming on the Org" to set people straight etc.

Mayte and Prince suffered a tragedy. Mayte first way of dealing with the grief was "lets try right away for another" but Prince who stuck his big toe in the water (the whole marriage, fatherhood, committment, Muppet show appearance) and got his toe sliced off... was not interested in putting himself through that heart ache and drama again anytime soon.

So now Mayte is inconsolable... she has to deal with this grief the hard way... can't take short cuts trying for another right away. (many couples do this when experiencing miscarriage/stillborn) within 2 years, they have a healthy baby and move on with life.

So Mayte's way of dealing with the grief is crying talking it out etc. (totally common, and normal).

Prince on the other hand can't take all the crying because it puts him right smack in the middle of sadness and sorrow. His way of dealing with grief is to close it out of his heart and concious. Not "wallow" in grief. He throws himself into his work. Again very common and normal way of dealing with grief.

Prince has said in interview that he wishes he could ... either make his wife stop crying, or put that smile back on her face... something like that. And he had a wistful look on his face... very real emotion... feelings unchecked. That made me think she was inconsolable and he wants to help her... but he can't "make it all better"

Here comes Manuela; She has idolized Prince for years... and now she is working in his company. She probably just wanted to meet her idol...talk about music etc. Little did she know... there were cracks in Mayte and Prince's relationship due to the strain of the loss. Prince sees Manuela as a life line. When he is with Mayte, everything is sad, and Prince can't make it all better, maybe he even felt inadequate... used to being able to fix anything, buy anything, but have NO CONTROL over the loss of baby; But when he is with Manuela everything is good and right he is the man, the greatest and he can do ANYTHING, HE IS IN CONTROL.

It is easy to see how Prince was drawn to Mani not to mention that she is pretty.

Now the whole JW conversion gets thrown in the mix. Prince (re-evaluating his relationship with God etc due to the recent and frequent loss of close loved ones) wants to convert to JW. Mayte won't convert because she is Catholic... or doesn't believe in JW etc. Not to mention that JW rules are rather restricting.. no holidays etc. So Mayte is not down with conversion...

But Mani is open to it. She attends classes with Prince because she is "spiritually searching" as well. Then as a Mani insider said back in 2004 or 2005 on the Org, Prince and Mani grow "tighter and tighter"

A relationship starts.. Prince dissolves his CONtract with Mayte, so now he can feel right conducting another relationship. Then he moves Mayte to Spain (out of the way) because she has friends in PP camp that pull her coattails. He stays in Spain and they are happy for a few months... but now it is time to return to the states to record and promote Rave album. He leaves Mayte in Spain and picks right back up with Mani.

It was during this time that Orgers that attended the Celebration parties report seeing Mani there acting as the Lady of the Manor and wearing one of Mayte's dress (no less). They also report that Paisley Park is being redocorated and it is alledged that Mani has basically taken out Mayte's touch and replaced with her own decorating touch. The switch is now complete.

Anything that happens after that is just the story playing itself out. (Prince and Mayte having a screaming match outside the NYC club) etc.

Well anyway that is my IMPRESSION AND ASSUMPTION on the subject.. Sorry for the long book. I always have a hard time shutting it down once I get started with writing.

Prince had all the money and power and although he may been called mental ill he can never be called stupid; there is a huge difference between the two. Prince is also at this time a man of 4O years and worldly and Mani is in her early 20's and bold but not worldly.

He knows that Mani is strongly attracted to him. She is an easy catch. All he has to do is to convince her that his Marriage to Mayte is over, just not formally YET. How many married men have said," yeah I am married , legally, but me and the wife have not had sex in a long long time and we barely talk. I just don't want to have to deal with the lawyers and all the money talk. Eventually we will divorce it is over. I will never get back with her. She doesn't even speak to me" etc.

Surely he did not tell Mani that he does not take Mayte's calls or that basically he left her in Spain and left Spain without her so as to get away from her.

This man is a player. Fooling Mani and getting her to start a relationship with him guilt free is like taking candy from a baby. He had enough money to keep everybody seperate so his story was not contradicted.

I am glad that his attention is on Misty now. They are deffinately flirting and tying up each others time, if not officially dating. She may still be in her 20's but she has been on her own for over a decade and living in New York Ciy. Doubtfully she is naive or gullable in any way. He need a woman that is book smart, street smart and just wise beyond her years.

right. I agree with everything you are saying here.

Misty is a very talented woman. If she is involved with Prince, he has once again show what great taste he has... she is beautiful and talented.

I would like to think that if it is true, that this relationship will be different because Misty is already very successful in her own career separate from Prince's input. He is a fan of hers, not some svengali. He will be a footnote in articles about her in the future... not the main subject.

well he is human. I am sure it was ego boosting to have the complete and total adoration of a beautiful woman. I'm sure it crushed him when he realize he was no longer viewed as "god" to his bride. Hence, the reason to move on to the next idol worshipper.

AFAIK, that newsgroup is still there, although I haven't checked it in years. Anyone should be able to search for her posts on it through Google Groups - if you have the time and inclination (I'd recommended reading a good book or going for a nice walk in the park as preferable alternatives though).
