This broad proved to be unworthy of Prince and one of the luckiest limited talent chicks in history.

People need to stop critisizing Mayte. She was with Prince for 10 years. Longer than any other woman. She was the only woman in this world that made Prince a father. Things did not turn out they way they should have. Both were devastated. She never got over it, even though she tried for years. As a woman, I can understand her suffering. Give the girl a break! What ever happened between them has impacted her life eternally. And we all have to see with the BET awards, she is still very much a part of his legacy. Sheila E invited her to dance like she did for many years with Prince in his concerts and videos. Mayte is a part of Princes legacy!!! Like it or not!

I don't understand how she is greedy. The items she sold in the garage sale went towards her Animal Shelter. Some people have unwarranted spite towards Mayte on this site that I don't understand. She has an adopted child, runs an animal shelter and petitions for animal rights. But somehow people still want to view her as selfish?

I thought it was off for her to sell the note, but clothes and other stuff not so much. That stuff can be sold to museums or whatever. Other than that, what is she supposed to do with it all? I think people would be more angry at her if she threw it all out like it was worthless. She owns(owned) a part of music history and she has done the right thing to put it up to auction where museum collectors/historians or whatever can bid for it.

Why was she selling his personal items and such intimate things like notes and China from their wedding a while back... Don't mean to be negative but it doesn't sit well with me sad

Its just stuff, just his old things. I dont care because I dont put a value in that. I value his music.

She has let go so why not sell it give the money to charity.

Just wondering...is all the negativity towards her because the items she sold were items to her from PRINCE? They did belong to her, correct?

.

Would it have mattered if they were from Tommy Lee or someone who was NOT famous? Seriously my cousin tossed all her old items from her ex husband cuz he cheated (several times) and broke her heart, she even got rid of the love letters he wrote her-------but she burned them razz

She seems sweet and genuine. She got taken for a ride in my opinion. His other ex comes off like a man-eater. I digress. Aaaanyway, why does it matter to anyone what she does with her things? It's her stuff. It's her business. It shouldn't be up for discussion.

You know she can do with as she wants ....I understand the marriage was annulled by both parties approaching the two year mark. they loved each other so that's what counts ....Hollywood exs. Really? Not my cup of tea but move on ..the truth is within and only she knows....as for me I'm just a little sentimental when artists died their work goes up over night it's just the way our society values things. So for mayte perhaps her tv show will give her the chance to heal. I hope and stand by my handle Loveandkindness. I would have a hard time parting with a love letter at any cost but perhaps its something thing she wants to share with the world. All blessings mayte heal healthy with no regrets...that's what this discussion is all about.

Personally I thought it was about time she sold the stuff.

How do you move on with a new lovelife, when the man walks in the house and is hit by all things Prince???? It is already a bit intimidating knowing you are his ex-wife to then be confronted with something of a shrine to him.

That aside, I think his deal probably pushed her forward but also set her back a bit. His chapter is over and done. The End. But I don't think she ever got closure WITH him and that love she had is still in her.

She needs to process the good, bad and ugly and free herself from her love for him.

I wish her well (although from that show I still think she is slightly nuts).

This was settled by her friend Dave. She was selling the stuff to open a brick and morter to house the animals she rescuses. The money was going to be used for that only. But she didn't sell any of it and retains all of the items. This happened before Prince died. Mayte changed her mind and decided to keep everything.

Aside from money, I believe she was just trying to move on and get rid of the stuff. Holding onto stuff isn't good no matter the reason or the particular items.

Well, he certainly didn't want them, or he would have requested them. Now, I agree she probably should have kept the personal letters, but the rest of it? Why the hell should she keep all that crap? A lovely rfeminder of a failed marriage? Are you /serious/? Nope. She did the right thing in being rid of it. That's the first step in healing herself. You don't keep items from a divorce you didn't want, even if the one you're divorced from is Prince.



I get it, from a fan perspective, that you'd want to keep momentos of him. But Mayte wasn't 'a fan'. She is his ex-wife. That's very different.



:yeahthat: Couldn't agree more!

Leave Mayte alone, please. Prince once loved her more than anything else in his world. That should tell us something about her. She has flaws like any of us, but none of us knows what went on between them, then or later.

She's not my cup of tea, but she doesn't need my approval and she obviously has many endearing qualities. I hope she gets the help she needs to move on with her life.

Actually, we can spectate because Mayte herself has been incredibly vocal over the years even when it has not been asked for or suggested to. It is nice of people who were actually in his life over the last 16 years to befriend her, considering that's a time where she had nothing to do with him at all.

Actually, they weren't. She had directly stated their relationship technically ended in 1998. The process of divorce and annulment happened over a span of two years because he was still showcasing her publicly. (Fact not opinion) I'm quite tired of people giving this woman a "free pass" just because she was involved with him. Prince was with Nona Gaye and I'm not even going to discuss that shamble because I feel angry even thinking about it, and I had no parts in it. I love Prince but he did some terrible things around that time, he wasn't with this child (Mayte) at the time. She kept in touch with him when she was very young, and as she turned legal, he let her in the band. Don't be ridiculous. Right when he was to marry Nona, he got engaged to MAYTE because she was pregnant. Again, that is fact, I'm unable to provide documentation, but this is well documented/credibly sourced information made public years ago. I'm not a fan of his other ex wife, Manuela, but the ways in which people degrade her compared to Mayte is absurd. I say to thank her, and Larry Graham. Prince truly grew up after leaving Mayte, WB, and finding some sort of peace. A large portion of Prince's life in the 90s seemed like more of a fantasy, he lied and covered up quite a bit which was understandable. I don't believe a happy newlywed would overdose two months after getting married, and having a wire extremely young who was also his employee was enough to entertain a life that could only exist for a certain amount of time. I'm not belittling their relationship or their love, but what I'm saying is that it is somewhat tasteless that over the years she has used his name to do all sorts of things. I don't appreciate Dave coming on here or any form of social media advocating for her as though what he's trying to do is not obvious. He's from where I am in Jersey and to be quite frank, instead of coming on here for years to try and give Mayte a good name, like a human advertisement, he should have directed his focus on helping her continue her life outside of the Prince world. Seeing him come at people on Instagram who have pointed out clear distinctive signs of questionable activity, has been upsetting. "She had his child! All his songs were about her in the 90s. She was his wife. How about he loved her more than anything." Disrespectful comments to longtime Prince fans and has nothing to do with Prince's music. If I recall, Love Symbol was about his "fantasy of ", not reality. People have called Manuela an opportunist, a stalker, a fanatic, and all unfortunate things as though Mayte was not cut from the same cloth considering her parents were involved. At sixteen, you allow your daughter to be thrusted onto Prince, doing belly dancing of all things? Bellydance is a sacred dance but it's also incredibly sexual to the western eye and the mere fact that it was allowed by them shows what they were looking for was opportunity as well. She was pregnant before him and her married, and I'm sure he card about her deeply, one can only imagine that's why he dropped everything with Nona Gaye and married right away/engage quickly. She was extremely young, 22, and now with Prince. I don't fault her pain, I think she is unfortunately very pinned due to a past life that she can't quite compete with or believe there is more in life because of. She had it all from such a young age with Prince and is now living in a very artificial past. I wish her healing and hope that she can find closure in befriending these people because maybe it will allow her to realize that it is okay to be in his past. Her trying to connect with people from all stages of his life even when he was alive, was a clear signal of mental instability and dependence. Again, I'm not judging, but had this have been Manuela, folks would have harassed and slandered her abnormally. It is quite pitiful to think that one is treated better than the other with Prince fans. I'm almost tired of responses like yours that highlight a very shallow relationship that was not actually "10 years" just because it sounds good. I don't see anyone highlighting the fact that he did not want to part ways with Manuela and was in desperate love with her, and she was involved with him since 1998.

why do you think she's nuts exactly?


I definitely agree with you. I think sometimes believe people insult her, but really they are questioning why she does not get psychological help because Mayte is a very beautiful young woman. She is well-spoken, seems passionate, but revels in the fact that she has no ambition other than Prince. That, to me, has been her problem for a long time. She has been through a lot and never got closure, it is hard, but her family at this point is to blame. Prince is no angel, for sure, but to have birthed a child for him and have the child died, it obviously caused a complex. I believe it is clear to see that she felt like a failure and very important at the same time. I think that's why people, including Dave (who repetitively posts the same thing on Prince org because he and she want people to believe certain things) bring up the child. It sounds like that child is considered more important than any other because it was Prince's. It sounds good and it continues the legacy, but the reality is that it did not live. So of course she feels perplexed and confused. I understand the child must have hurt, she was my age when all of this happened, but again, there is no one to blame for such a rare circumstance. That syndrome in itself is extremely traumatizing to witness. Imagine birthing a child and seeing it for the first time, looking that way? That is troubling. It would be enough for me to never want children again to be honest. All in all, she has depicted clear mental instability and delusion over long bouta of time and as a friend of MAYTE (the guy Dave) is not doing her any service in helping her move on which makes it clear that they just want her to gain fame and fortune out of all of this.

You are kidding right?! Mayte has always been a performer even before meeting Prince where Mani took total advantage and opportunity every chance she had while in a relationship with Prince and even now with Eric because she'd not been married to another celebrity she surly wouldn't be where she's at now in life and definitely wouldn't have the exposure she's had the past few years since her marriage to Eric. Manuela married two celebrities, she loves the limelight and the attention that comes with it.

I don't see anyone highlighting the fact that he did not want to part ways with Manuela and was in desperate love with her, and she was involved with him since 1998.
Manuela filed for divorce because Prince wasn't willing to make some changes and eventually showed no interest in a life long relationship with her. He didn't care if she divorced his image was changed big time and his religion prohibited him from doing certain things and divorce was one of them. Her faith in her religion wasn't as strong as his and eventually went back to her own way of life no longer a Jehovahs Witness and eventually no longer a vegetarian. She made changes he did not. If he'd cared enough, I'm sure he would've made some sacrifices to save the marriage.

People need to stop critisizing Mayte. She was with Prince for 10 years. Longer than any other woman. She was the only woman in this world that made Prince a father. Things did not turn out they way they should have. Both were devastated. She never got over it, even though she tried for years. As a woman, I can understand her suffering. Give the girl a break! What ever happened between them has impacted her life eternally. And we all have to see with the BET awards, she is still very much a part of his legacy. Sheila E invited her to dance like she did for many years with Prince in his concerts and videos. Mayte is a part of Princes legacy!!! Like it or not!

Actually, they weren't. She had directly stated their relationship technically ended in 1998. The process of divorce and annulment happened over a span of two years because he was still showcasing her publicly. (Fact not opinion) I'm quite tired of people giving this woman a "free pass" just because she was involved with him. Prince was with Nona Gaye and I'm not even going to discuss that shamble because I feel angry even thinking about it, and I had no parts in it. I love Prince but he did some terrible things around that time, he wasn't with this child (Mayte) at the time. She kept in touch with him when she was very young, and as she turned legal, he let her in the band. Don't be ridiculous. Right when he was to marry Nona, he got engaged to MAYTE because she was pregnant. Again, that is fact, I'm unable to provide documentation, but this is well documented/credibly sourced information made public years ago. I'm not a fan of his other ex wife, Manuela, but the ways in which people degrade her compared to Mayte is absurd. I say to thank her, and Larry Graham. Prince truly grew up after leaving Mayte, WB, and finding some sort of peace. A large portion of Prince's life in the 90s seemed like more of a fantasy, he lied and covered up quite a bit which was understandable. I don't believe a happy newlywed would overdose two months after getting married, and having a wire extremely young who was also his employee was enough to entertain a life that could only exist for a certain amount of time. I'm not belittling their relationship or their love, but what I'm saying is that it is somewhat tasteless that over the years she has used his name to do all sorts of things. I don't appreciate Dave coming on here or any form of social media advocating for her as though what he's trying to do is not obvious. He's from where I am in Jersey and to be quite frank, instead of coming on here for years to try and give Mayte a good name, like a human advertisement, he should have directed his focus on helping her continue her life outside of the Prince world. Seeing him come at people on Instagram who have pointed out clear distinctive signs of questionable activity, has been upsetting. "She had his child! All his songs were about her in the 90s. She was his wife. How about he loved her more than anything." Disrespectful comments to longtime Prince fans and has nothing to do with Prince's music. If I recall, Love Symbol was about his "fantasy of ", not reality. People have called Manuela an opportunist, a stalker, a fanatic, and all unfortunate things as though Mayte was not cut from the same cloth considering her parents were involved. At sixteen, you allow your daughter to be thrusted onto Prince, doing belly dancing of all things? Bellydance is a sacred dance but it's also incredibly sexual to the western eye and the mere fact that it was allowed by them shows what they were looking for was opportunity as well. She was pregnant before him and her married, and I'm sure he card about her deeply, one can only imagine that's why he dropped everything with Nona Gaye and married right away/engage quickly. She was extremely young, 22, and now with Prince. I don't fault her pain, I think she is unfortunately very pinned due to a past life that she can't quite compete with or believe there is more in life because of. She had it all from such a young age with Prince and is now living in a very artificial past. I wish her healing and hope that she can find closure in befriending these people because maybe it will allow her to realize that it is okay to be in his past. Her trying to connect with people from all stages of his life even when he was alive, was a clear signal of mental instability and dependence. Again, I'm not judging, but had this have been Manuela, folks would have harassed and slandered her abnormally. It is quite pitiful to think that one is treated better than the other with Prince fans. I'm almost tired of responses like yours that highlight a very shallow relationship that was not actually "10 years" just because it sounds good. I don't see anyone highlighting the fact that he did not want to part ways with Manuela and was in desperate love with her, and she was involved with him since 1998.


This especially the last line. People seem to want to gloss over the fact that he did NOT want to divorce Manuela and he made SURE he got rid of Mayte and never looked back... but Manuela is demonized around these parts... he stayed married to her for 5 years and she was around before that ..

Uggh another poor little mayte thread... it's amazing how people want to diss manuela (who he stayed married to and had no plans to divorce ) but want to coddle mayte ... Manuela stays out of the public eye and has managed to move on with life like normal people do...but mayte is still pining over prince but she can do no wrong over here.. like seriously
You are kidding right?! Mayte has always been a performer even before meeting Prince where Mani took total advantage and opportunity every chance she had while in a relationship with Prince and even now with Eric because she'd not been married to another celebrity she surly wouldn't be where she's at now in life and definitely wouldn't have the exposure she's had the past few years since her marriage to Eric. Manuela married two celebrities, she loves the limelight and the attention that comes with it.

You've got to be effin kidding me right.. before she was with Prince.. did YOU know about Mayte?? No. After Prince did she have any sort of life.. no. She went off screwing good old Hepatitis C Tommy LEE who left her and went back to Pamela Anderson... didn't she date some other dude who also left her too? She just can't seem to "keep" a man.. and maybe it's not the men.. maybe it's her. On that show she seemed to be irrational and crazy.... when Andrea Kelly had it with her antics and cursed her out for saying something about child support.. that's when it got real..

Stop downing Manuela. She was just like Prince in that she saw something she wanted and went after it. She kept to herself... she had her business on the side and she lived her life. After she divorced Prince she moved on like a normal person and had two kids with her husband and she's still somewhat under the radar... she was Prince's last wife... she got alimony I believe. Wasn't she the one prince lived with in that lavish yellow and purple house? The one he destroyed after they split? She left him and according to all reports he and her had periodic contact... yet HE left Mayte and cut HER off. Doesn't that say something.... don't diss manuela.. worry about why you feel the need to excuse mayte so much... and I'm not even a manuela stan.. I guess Prince simply loved him some Canadians...and ironically they both left him.. and he never turned away from them... that should tell you guys something ...

P.s the whole oprah interview should be relegated to the bottom drawer for the comments about how he felt about her and his behaviour as during this same interview he pretended the baby was alive. He was totally out of it.. seemed sad and in a fantasy the entire time

Personally I thought it was about time she sold the stuff.

How do you move on with a new lovelife, when the man walks in the house and is hit by all things Prince???? It is already a bit intimidating knowing you are his ex-wife to then be confronted with something of a shrine to him.

That aside, I think his deal probably pushed her forward but also set her back a bit. His chapter is over and done. The End. But I don't think she ever got closure WITH him and that love she had is still in her.

She needs to process the good, bad and ugly and free herself from her love for him.

I wish her well (although from that show I still think she is slightly nuts).

why do you think she's nuts exactly?

From the show??? Watch it. She loses it over things that have nothing to do with her and over reacts on other people's business.

Because of their half-baked mistakes, we get ice cream, no cake; all lies, no truth; is it fair to Kill the YOUTH ~~ Party Up

Identity

HE left Mayte and cut HER off. Doesn't that say something....don't diss Manuela .


Yes, it says he died in an elevator left to his own devices leaving both exes to jointly organize a private memorial. I'm not going to pretend I know Mayte and Manuela as intimately as the rest of you.
