Because we don't appreciate Mayte's persona, we are unhappy people? Is it that difficult to accept that your girl is not... amazing, for lack of a better term?

Acknolwedging is the first step but forcing one's irrelevant opinion on to so-called haters demonstrate a lack of critical thinking and lack of diplomacy.

But what about you trying to force your irrelevant uneducated opinion on others too? Get a grip and live in he real life....not this imaginary life you created in your head.

Like you know me Dave? You have no idea what my life is all about and all you keep telling those who do not approve of Mayte is that they are unhappy, they are haters, they are uneducated and all you can think of. When will you recognize Mayte will never be famous and Prince's fans will pick apart all she will do when using her name.

What does fame have to with someone sharing a story that millions of people are going to be interested in, a love story....there are a handful of haters, the majority of Whom we come across, at these tributes and even at her Bellydance class, or even in airports show her nothing but love....it's actually a beautiful thing. So you and the 10 other people who have a problem with her can go off and just deal with it. But don't try to spew your hate onto others. Why is it nobody has ever said anything to her in person? Because you all hide behind computers and screen names. She is very accessible.....just like the Instagram trolls whom specifically create Instagram accounts just to hate on her.,..that's a whole other level of fanaticism....almost borderline obsessed. But you know something, in a way I want to thank you and all the other naysayers as you are the ones that keep her more relevant than anything. By constantly having to discuss her and all she does. So thank you for the support. I'm done now...gotta get back to the real world. [Edited 10/6/16 14:54pm]

If there are that many people buying the book, I will go as far as making a public apology. I doubt it will be as many copies sold, however.

A handful of haters? I don't count the audience at the Wendy Williams ridiculous talk show but do you count Lala, Delilah, Appolonia, Vanessa, and others who publicly announced on social media they didn't approve of the book? I only talk about her in this website and do not go on other social media to discuss her whereabouts.

What's baffling to me is the incredible hatred of not only Mayte, but many, if not all, of Prince's ex's. Not one of them ever committed bodily harm to him or emotional harm, I'd venture to say. He most likely caused them emotional harm from his behavior in relationships though, yet they get so much hate. This kind of hatred is not healthy.

There is no other associated artist I have a problem with. You will find no thread where I comment negatively on any of them. Just Mayte.

I don't mind being called a hater and would admit to it. Yet, I do not seek further informatin on other social media outlet. I am not that obsessed and do not seek any harm either. Just voicing my frustration on certain concerning actions.

I appreciate, in all that, how respectful and constructice some of these firey conversations become at times. It gets difficult when it turns to conflicts which I am not interested in.

without discussing what he may have, or have not, done in the relaionship; just curious why you would venture to say that?

Lala, Appoloina, Vanessa, Delilah and Demaris were associates/muses (perhaps) and I use the term loosely. None of which were his FRIEND, WIFE and MOTHER-to-be of his children. With all due respect, their opinion isn't really woth considering.

great, then stop stalking her and her family at bellydancing classes and pet charity events.

What????

I live in Minneapolis. Do you think I would waste money on stalking on anybody?

See, I think this is what discredits Mayte so much. Some of her fans are saying the most stupid things, starting conflicts, spreading rumors to attack those who don't approve of Mayte making her hate her even more. Now, people are going to think all her followers are ...dishonest people.

Calling one a racist, a bootlegger, a stalker, ...what else? An alien while we're at it? a walking dead?

Its another case on woman judge another woman's actions with extreme harshness but yet takes a lot of bullshit from men who usually done worse.

She's invited to everything because she was MARRIED to him, they had CHILDREN together and has a connection with P's family and other associates/band members. People change and what has Mayte done to deserve some of these hateful, vicious comments? P and Mayte at one time loved each other yes, it was a long time ago, but that doesnt negate that it happened. Wish some could find it in their hearts to show some kindness towards her since the negative and nast comments really reflect and speaks volumes on the people that wrote them not on Mayte.

Some people are unhappy with themselves so it makes the, feel good to tear another down....you have to feel sorry for these trolls. If his family don't have a problem with Mayte, why do some of you...she was INVITED to Minnesota...what does that tell you?

Co sign. I don't understand either why some people have hatred toward someone they never met.

"Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone"

Those that are condemning Mayte for everything she does must live very pristine and perfect lives and NEVER do anything they have felt ashamed of, embarrassed about, or do things that others would consider questionable. Congratulations to all those people! I sure wish I had been able to get through life without doing anything that others called into question. I sure wish I had been able to get through life without making any mistakes. How do you do it!?!? I would love to have your secrets to living a perfect life and doing everything right.

Or is this a question of talking loud about someone doing something that you, yourself, would do? There is an old Buddhist saying that what we see in someone else, it is what we, ourselves contain. Hmmm....

I don't think the divorce left her independently wealthy. She needs to earn a living. So, if she trades on her memories/alliance with him, who cares? He wouldn't have liked it? Well, let us not forget what happened back in the late 90s to further destroy their union.

This woman is sure trying to make herself seen in all things concerning a man who divorced her ass damn near 15/16 years ago

I agree if he was alive she wouldn't be caught being near him or his frineds and now that he's gone I feel like she's just milkying it, and to be honest I don't think Prince would of approved there was a reason why he didn't want her around when he was still alive.

It doesnt mean Prince was right. Maybe, Prince avoided Mayte for the same reason he avoided funerals...too painful.

What was Mayte going to do? Hang out with Prince's friends and bandmembers in Paisley if he is avoiding her? I actually believe that Prince hated conflict despite his seeming confidence and swagger. And if he was indeed shy (in his own idiosyncratic way), awkard reunions with ex's were probably not going to happen. Malice from either Prince or Mayte may not be the issue. I have mixed feelings about the existance of her book, but no idea what's in it so I can't judge her intentions here.

I've got the book preordered - looking forward to reading it!

So why post on the Associated artists & people page? I'm not really a fan of the exes, but I respect them for who they were to Prince at the time he was with him. He loved them, they loved him, obviously, or none of them would have been in a relationship with him. I trust Prince's judgement on what was best for him at those times in his life. Now, as for why he ended the relationship with Mayte, it's just possible that it had everything to do with the losses the two of them experienced together. It's possible that Mayte wanted to try to have another baby and Prince didn't, because he was afraid going through that again. That would cause a lot of hurt feelings. It's also possible the baby looked like Mayte, and every time Prince looked at her he was reminded of their loss. There are a lot of different scenarios as to why he might have ended the relationship that had nothing to do with who she was as a person, and everything to do with the experiences they'd had together as a couple who had lost their son. And it would not mean that he stopped caring about her, but rather that she reminded him of the heartache of losing a child.

Have you ever lost a child? I've had 4 miscarriages and a stillborn daughter. I don't remember the year following the loss of my daughter. I know after it happened the doctors sedated me because I was inconsolable. And then I buried that pain. I had to in order to be able to carry on. But that loss tied to other reasons resulted in the end of my marriage. I still loved my ex, but he reminded me of a lot of pain every time I looked at him and it was hard to move forward from that loss. Prince threw himself into studying the Bible with Larry Graham after that. He was trying to find answers. He was trying to deal with that loss in his own way. And sometimes, you have to let go of the one that reminds you of that loss to be able to move forward. And maybe the reason he didn't want to be around Mayte after that is because every time he looked at her, he saw Ahmir, or maybe he believed he let her down because he didn't want to risk going through that again, or maybe, just maybe, he believed he was somehow at fault and believed Mayte blamed him and couldn't handle the guilt it made him feel. All of this is supposition, but when you have a loss like that, you go through a lot of different emotions, including self-blame, guilt ...

I only wish her well in all of her endeavors and cannot understand the hatred towards her from some women on this site. Even during an interview Prince said asked the reporter if he had ever forgiven someone immediately, stating that he had, that he forgave them instantaneously and didn't hang on to any ill will towards any one, that it was the most loving thing to do. If he could do that, with all he had experienced in life, how can anyone else find fault with any of those associated with him, past or present?

The hate is unbearable, childish and disgusting. Thank you for stating this. People need to find forgiveness and let go, if not get a colonic and detox from all that negativity. Love is an exercise, be STRONGER. "Its more hard 2 love than it is 2 hate" - PRINCE.
