I'm sorry I ever saw Mayte on reality TV I feel yucky even posting about this - I can't believe I watch any reality Tv at all, or even that I'm on the org - but hey, I'm a Prince fan! So I check out Hollywood Exes, of course, to see Mayte, and damn! What a mess! I'm sorry I did. I used to think she was all innocent and P was terrible to her to kick her out, and she looked so lovely and cute in the videos and sitting by P's side, and the beautiful songs about her, love of his life, etc. I'm sorry about the two losses (babies), and I am NOT attacking her as a person (apparently, that is not allowed on the org, which I appreciate), since I don't know her personally. I just think that it's a sorry state that she's on reality TV and acting so immature, passive-aggressive, stubborn, envious, spoiled, and stupid. How much is acting or not, I don't know and it really doesn't matter - if she's not acting and this is her real self and real life, it does not reflect well on her; if you're acting and creating drama for the show by behaving in the immature, passive-aggressive, etc. manner, it still does not reflect well on her. And I'm sorry also because now, instead of the picture of P as a womanizer and heartless for divorcing the wonderful Mayte love of his life, I have the picture of P as completely clueless about real, mature relationships and frankly a total dolt in choosing women, which reflects badly on him too. I actually prefer the image of him as heartless and predatory, not clueless and pathetic. I really cringed when I heard her utter the phrase, "I don't have Purple Rain money!" When the PR reissue comes out this year, I'm gonna hear her whining and crying, "I don't have Purple Rain money!" - unless I can wipe all memory of having watched this show from my memory, which I hope to do. I'm done watching. It's outstayed it's entertainment value and is now just sad. | |

Yes, even though it has only been two episodes, she is not being portrayed in a very good light, whether it is the script, the producers or what, it is really quite cringe worthy to see.
She has a gorgeous daughter, a boyfriend and her animal rescue and she still seems unhappy, and dissatisfied. [Edited 5/15/14 6:05am] You know you are in love, when you cannot fall asleep because your reality is finally better than your dreams - Dr Seuss | |

* It isn't all about internal pain. What, the rest of us don't have internal pain? Hasn't everyone suffered? Are we all entitled to act like spoiled children, take it out on other people, act evil & immature? Are we all entitled to be controlling, manipulative liars? * Let's face it, some people are narcissistic, selfish, immature, egotistical & downright evil. It's got nothing to do with internal pain. If internal pain was driving this type of behavior, then ALL OF US would be acting like narcissists & sociopaths. It has everything to do with personal choices & a total lack of empathy for those around them. They can't get their eyes off themselves. * You don't have to know someone personally to know what they're like. Their actions & words are enough. There's enough evidence on the show to PROVE she's several sandwiches short of a picnic & full of pride. Maytag is so full of pride & full of herself that she can't even apologize to Nicole for breaking glass in her kitchen & making a mess. She needs to get over herself FOR REAL. * For the love of God & all that's holy, let's please get off all the enabling of evil that goes on around here at the Org and face the truth (for once). Somebody, just might get free. *

Mayte's mother raised her like she was the center of the universe, and had it confirmed by Prince (for awhile). Why are we surprised that she believes she is? We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

Actually, I'm not surprised by her behavior at all. I knew she was trouble all along (from the first time I laid eyes on her & heard her speak). I wasn't around for the 90s (thank God) but I had my fill of her the first time I ever saw her live on Tommy Lee's documentary back in 2002. Holy buckets! She was a piece of work on that show too. I had her number at "Fuck me or I'm going shopping!" She's just over the top wicked. She's no different today than she was then. She's no different today than when she was married to Prince (or dating him for that matter). She is what she is and she's not repentant AT ALL. She just struts around with her nose in the air like she's God's gift to the world. And, she's not. *
I'm not sure who (if anyone) was under a delusion that she was all sweet, peaches & cream. Maybe some fans? I dunno. I was never under that delusion. If anyone was under that delusion (fans) it was probably because Prince led people to believe that she was something she wasn't / isn't. I mean, the entire 90s was a delusion. The whole thing he made up about him being Akhenaten & her Nefertiti & the whole fabricated deal surrounding them meeting & hooking up was delusional (destiny, fate, etc.). It was a lie. I don't know why he fabricated all that stuff around the two of them but he did. Some people were probably taken in by it & believed it. She went along with all of it too so she's also to blame for the lies & distortion as well (not just Prince). * Regarding their divorce, they can't even get the story straight about their divorce & who wanted it. I just watched last night's episode of Hollywood Exes and on the same show there are 2 different stories about who wanted the divorce. The ladies were all under the impression that Prince wanted the divorce and that he made the announcement at a press conference that the marriage was over. In other words, Prince dumped her. Then, a few minutes later on the same show, Maytag is off saying she asked for / wanted the divorce at the table with Drea. In other words, she's giving the impression on the show that she dumped Prince. WTF? * Now, common sense says, Prince wanted the divorce. It's obvious to me that's the truth. If she originally wanted the divorce, she wouldn't have been sleeping with the china for all these years. I mean, come on. When you want a divorce from someone, you want to MOVE ON. You don't sleep with the china for a 1,000 years. *

One more thing I'd like to add, please pay special attention to the conversation Maytag has with Drea at the table (near the end of episode two). It's tough to put into words how crazy she really is. * She's going on & on & on, whining & complaining about child support. Say what? This after sticking a dagger through Sheree at the brunch regarding child support all because Maytag couldn't TRULY own up to what she did surrounding Terrell's 40th birthday bash. Last I checked, YOU (Maytag) wanted a kid and decided to go out and get one. THAT WAS YOUR DECISION! NO ONE FORCED YOU TO GO OUT & GET A KID! Of course you don't have child support cuz you didn't have the child with anyone. Get it? The kid is ADOPTED! She's using that child in order to try and gain sympathy for herself (extreme narcissism). She did the same in the last episode of Hollywood Exes last year (in Vegas). It's sickening. * Maytag ALWAYS wants to paint herself as a victim. It's very controlling & manipulative. Narcissists & sociopaths are very good at that game. It's always everyone else's fault & they're always the victim.

I agree completely with you, and I too feel yucky posting about this, but I had a visceral reaction to last night's episode. Cringe-worthy indeed. Her conversation with Drea really turned my stomach. Just awful. | |

I doubt it as well Psychodelicide. * If Maytag doesn't do an about face & change her ways VERY SOON, she's well on her way to becoming an evil, angry, bitter, jealous & spiteful old woman. Even more contentious & wicked than she already is. It's going to get much, much worse over time. The more she clings to wickedness, the uglier it's gonna get.
As a side note, she will be SANS stilettos (strictly orthopedic shoes) & wearing Depends. I don't think she's gonna handle that well.

I dont care to comment on the Prince/Mayte relationship, thats their business
What I will say is a person at the at of 16-21 is not the same person as they are at 39/55 whatever, you cant look at grown adult and assume they were the same person when they were a young adult, ppl change over time due to life experiences
Vh1 just hired a new development exec who fired the entire development team, smart woman, hopefully it means the end of that show and countless others on that network. [Edited 5/16/14 11:46am] | |

It's wishful thinking to assume that ALL people change with age & experience. I've known people who NEVER changed (grew up) and I knew them ALL my life. I'm not the only person who witnessed it either (others have said the same). OK, they may have grown physically but emotionally, spiritually & socially, they were immature from the time they came out of the womb to the time they went to the grave. Mature, responsible people mature properly through age & experience. Many extremely immature selfish people do not. It all depends on the person. * Maytag acted immature on the Tommy Lee show back in 2002 & she's acting selfish & immature today on Hollywood Exes. She's 12 years older & IMO actually acting worse on Hollywood Exes than on the TL show. Go figure. * My point being, some people just never grow up. It's a personal choice and you have to WANT to grow up & mature. It isn't automatic. You can actually CHOOSE to remain a spoiled rotten evil brat for your whole life. It's entirely possible. Trust me, I've personally witnessed it. *

not fair to judge a person from a 20 minute tv scene unless you know her personally. i suggest you challenge those immature ppl you know so they can become better or remove them from your life completely. | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
* I can judge a 20 minute show if I want to. Who are you to tell me not to? There's more than enough evidence to back what I'm saying. Not only that, but all the ladies on the show (& many more out there on the internet) say she's crazy, immature & selfish too based on the same evidence I saw. And, the ladies on the show KNOW her personally. I'm in agreement with them. * Btw, I MORE THAN challenged the immature people. Ever dealt with sociopaths & narcissists? Since you don't know me AT ALL, why did you ASSUME that I didn't deal with them & ultimately remove them from my life? You have NO IDEA what I've been through & what I've accomplished & battled in my life. Therefore, give it a rest & quit with the assumptions until you've walked a mile in my shoes. God knows what I've been through in that regard. I've climbed many mountains, been through the fiery pit and come out the other side. You're clueless. * Just because I said I've known them all my life doesn't mean they remained in my life. Some of these relationships were VERY close to home. One of them gave birth to me.

this was my point exactly, you dont know mayte personally, you made an assumption like i purposely did to show you cant judge a person based on limited observation because you have no clue of mayte's life experiences to judge her, now u see how she or anyone would feel reading your comments | |

* Are you for real? * The difference here is I HAVE OBSERVED HER BEHAVIOR (on 2 difference reality programs) along with thousands of other people on national televison and came to the same conclusion they did. Why? Because she acts like an immature, selfish, narcissistic, bitch ALL THE TIME. It's obvious the woman has serious issues. EVEN HER FRIENDS ON THE SHOW SEE IT! WHY DON'T YOU?????? Are you blind? I'm not judging her life experiences. . . I'm juding her HORRIBLE BEHAVIOR! There's a difference. Do you get that? She's always the same bitchy, rude, selfish, narcissistic, snotty & deplorable person every time I see her on television. Doesn't that say something? Should I not come away with an IMPRESSION of her based on her words & actions? For crying out loud. . . GET REAL! * YOU made an assumption about MY LIFE & EXPERIENCE based on NO EVIDENCE whatsoever! There's a HUGE DIFFERENCE! I'm not on a reality TV show. Get it? You don't know me from Adam. You don't know if I'm a male, female, how old I am, what I look like or anything. You have absolutely no clue about how I behave in my life or how I've dealt with the crazies in my life. NONE! * I've actually observed the evidence. You have no evidence on which to base your assumption. *

* WOW! You are SERIOUSLY out to lunch. . . . HUN. * People adopt & even have children naturally for selfish reasons ALL THE TIME! Get real! Some adopt to "fulfill" their own needs, some adopt or have children to abuse, and the list goes on an on. You must be seriously, seriously naive to believe that people don't adopt or have natural children for selfish reasons. Maytag herself is using the adopted kid to draw attention to herself and play the victim (no child support). The woman is OFF HER NUT! * Obviously, you live in a bubble.

At the end of the day. . . . * OBVIOUSLY, Prince felt the need to make up a bunch of lies in the 90s (fantasy) surrounding their "relationship" because reality was just too damn scary to face. That doesn't excuse the lies but it's pretty clear why he did it. It's too bad he didn't have the guts to ultimately tell the truth (repudiate all the lies) since he made it all so public in the first place. I mean why lie & make up a fantasy? When you're in a loving, secure & respectful marriage relationship, you don't need to make up a bunch of lies to make it seem wonderful. It just is. And, you don't feel the need to make it public either. You just quietly enjoy the marriage. Now that the lies are out there and everyone can see for themselves what she's really like by her crazy behavior, I'm sure they're (fans) are kinda lookin' back at the 90s goin', "Huh?" * In his case, he obviously felt the need to somehow make things seem different than they really were. Therefore, he made up lies. Unfortunately, lies don't change reality. They only compound the problem.

I met Mayte right after D&P came out in the retail store at Glam Slam. I knew who she was from the Gett Off long form video, where Prince is playing a video tape of her dancing. She was with one of Prince's bodyguards and was dressed in all white. She was like a little kid in a candy store. I was kind of shocked. She was fawning over an issue of the Controversy fanzine, because there were some pictures of her in it. She took a whole bunch of stuff and stuffed it in a bag and walked out without giving the guy running the store anything. He was pissed. Talked to her several times after that. She gave me a tambourine one time out at Paisley Park. I don't think the whole thing about her being an "Egyptian Princess" was to be taken literally. Just a storyline for the album. She was pretty naive, considering she was kept in an apartment at his beck and call. There were a lot of women around during that time. I suppose she didn't know about all of them, considering she was never at the club when Prince was or at the Paisley Park parties back then. TRUE BLUE | |

I completely agree with you @motherfunka...watching the show has completely ruined my image of Mayte as the naive/sweet girl. I can only imagine the arguments/fights that her and P had back in the day. I know loss (especially two losses) can cause a lot of stress and can lead to people changing BUT that is no excuse to act a hot mess 18 years later IMO. I hope she's continuing with counseling because she obviously still has several issues to sort through. | |
