I wonder if she knows that her parents pimped her out at age 16? Her parents had a plan and knew what they were doing. Truth.

And Prince knew what he was doing.

Is the "ban" on her talking about him over or something? Is he gonna sue?

I'll be very disappointed if this books turns out to be her just telling us about other famous people she encountered while with Prince. I want all the Prince deets up to and including how Manuela came into the picture and how the hell they ended up friends?

It would be great if prince writes a tell all book.
And an autobiography. Those would be
very interesting books!

If Prince actually wrote it himself it would be like reading Kcool's pointless, poorly punctuated, childish drivel in an extended format.

such a shame.

no wonder prince makes people sign confidentiality agreements. i heard he made mayte sign one - if true this book will likely never (legally) see the light of day.

All those songs do not give details about everything
regarding his life. Most of the songs were about
the many females he PORKED. When he writes his
autobiography, I want to know info about parents,
grand parents, siblings and personal details about
Prince(that he never told the public). And I want to
see numerous pictures, especially the ones of him
with his clothes off(my favorite!). wink

This sounds really interesting.

Although what I don't understand about Mayte, is why she constantly says she wants to rid herself of her "Prince's ex wife" identity and become her own person...yet she pulls this shit?

I mean, lets face it. She's only really still in the public eye because of her ties to Prince.

It's rather sad, because I've seen some of the stuff she did in the '00s (the show she presented, her acting etc) and I really think she could of become someone in her own right.

^ exactly: thanks for posting this comment. thumbs up!

No need for all those bitter and hateful comments from some of you Orgers.

I love Mayte - theres no need to feel threatened, she was and is a real sweet woman.

I am sure she will tell the truth from her point of view, of course she's allowed to that.

She was once a great part of The New Power Generation, my fave appearances are the American Music Awards 1995 and Pussy Control/ Get Wild at the VH1 Fashion Awards I think it was 1995 as well or maybe 1996?

She was a nice dancer in the NPG, it seems like everyone have already forgotten this? sad

Do you really think she would hurt Prince, of course she's entitled to tell her version of what happende back then. She's a hot, sexxy, and sweet woman, let her speak.. smile


I don't get all the Mayte hate either. I think if anyone is qualified (more than so actually) to write a worthwhile book regarding Prince, it's her. She's never seemed like she has any ill-will towards Prince to me. The way some people are acting, you'd think Bart said he was writing the book. falloff

Anyhoo, like I said earlier, if the book ever sees the light of day, I damn sure will read it. But of course, if it ever does, I'm pretty sure that would mean Prince hasn't sued her out of existence, so how much down and dirty, real juicy dish could there possibly be? I'd guess - nil to about none. lol




She has said some of the suprisingly nicest things about him that I've read, and I suppose it is because their relationship was more love focused than work/music focused as many people who have spoken on Prince.

I'd read her book. Hell, her life seems pretty interesting to me. To fall in love with someone like Prince at a young age, have this whirlwind experience, tragedy, and then try to figure out where to go after sounds like a pretty good story...

Plus, I am biased, as I like her anyway. She seems very kind.

If you will, so will I

She did an interview for a magazine this month.

She states that: "The relationship was strange",

"Now I am messed up, not normal and can't
find love"

She believes that their strange relationship that
ended 15 or so years ago, is the cause of her
not finding love at Age 41!

She will probably be stating that again in future
interviews and the book in progress!

Can't she blame it all on Mommy? Oh, that's right--Mommy doesn't have deep pockets.

The relationship was strange right from the start:

1. Parents give a video of their 16 year old
daughter gyrating/belly dancing at one
of his concerts.

2. She started to work with him.

3. She was a virgin, so she had sex with
a man twice her age at 18.

4. Six years later, the relationship is still
strange. She is not aloud to call him
by his first name. She marries him
ANYWAY!
lol

Superfan1984, I think that he did not want to
glamorize that the baby died. Some things
should remain private. Everybody grieves
differently. To some, talking about a relatives
death only increases the pain!

im saying tho...dude wasted hella chapters and pages going on and on about his interpretations of "baby boomers" and "Gen-Xers" and race relations in the 60s and whatnot... he was trying to do too much...like he was compensating for the fact that he had no new info or original insights to offer.... "Possessed" by Alex Hahn, is by far the best book about P available

I think Prince's rationale was the only way to keep the press at bay about the death of the baby was to keep making media appearances affirming the birth of the baby. It was the way he chose to cope the best way he knew how and I just leave it at that.

Just to lend more context to the insanity:

  • 10/16/1996 - Son born.
  • 10/23/1996 - Son dies.
  • 11/04/1996 - Oprah interview taped (so basically, Mayte had 12 days to "get over" her grief and put up a brave face for Oprah.)
  • 11/04/1996 - Oh and by the way, their son's death certificate is filed on the day of the Oprah taping...
  • 11/09/1996 - The Betcha By Golly Wow video is taped which depicts a pregnant Mayte in the hospital waiting for P to arrive...
  • 11/20/1996 - Prince performs on Oprah.

I know we all process loss in our own way but WTF?!? eek

Oh hell- When it's laid out like that it's even worse----- Betcha By Golly Wow was made AFTER? Never knew that- must have been really hard for her to do that. I think that for Prince- things have always gone so perfectly for him, his mind just couldnt' wrap around the idea that things were REALLY AWFUL. Sometimes you just have to call it what it is.

You think things have always gone perfectly for prince? What about his dysfunctional upbringing? The issues he suffered as a kid, which he himself has outlined. I dont think he has had an easy life, he has immense talent which saved him from a life of poverty and god knows what else. Anyway, i agree, i dont understand why he dealt with his childs death the way he did but thats his business. I kind f feel sorry for mayte, could no have been easy for her, it seems to me she was traumatised by the whole thing.
Baby, you're a star.
