The only reason people are defending her is because they are nosey.

eh ? what does that mean ?

You are or nosey

Oh I get it know, you think I'm defending Mayte cause I want to read the book ?

.

No that's not it. I won't buy it - I might read it, but that's not the point. If you look at my previous posts on this subject, you will see that I am not behind this book and that I do question some of Mayte's decisions.

.

Having said that - she doesn't deserve the hate and negativity that she gets in this forum. Seriously. She's a human being. Let's be a little bit kinder and loving to one another.

.

Again, strange logic that the haters think that spreading hate is a way of having Prince's back If that's your thinking, then you have seriously not been paying attention to what Prince had to say and spent his whole career talking and writing songs about.

I know I asked before, and thank U 2 all those who informed me, but 3 pages later I have 2 ask again, 'who is that person?'

Criticizing someone's behavior is not spreading hate. Everyone is open to criticism and this idea that anything that criticizes behavior is ridiculous. If Mayte and Dave think no criticism is coming they are living in La La land.

She was not in his life for almost 20 years and it appears that he was not on good terms with her.

If you look her up she has a long resume and dated Prince back in the day.

She used to be on General Hospital.. Was also in P's video of the Undertaker as the woman in a daze and vomiting in a bucket....sorry, but that's the best way to recall it.

I was being a bit sarcastic

There was a interview with her a while back and she had a relationship with him. She worked for him in the wardrobe department at Paisley Park and she said she was going thru a lot of personal problems and that he really helped her. That working for him and seeing his work ethic made her want to straigten up her life.

I think are comments are out of a sense of loyalty. I think some of you are forgetting that he did help a lot of people out and they have a sense of loyalty to him.

Obviously most all of us have a sense of loyalty towards him...just may not be seen in the same way. Yes, he helped a lot of people and many that don't even know he did. Over and out.

Vashtix, i hear what ur saying and i wonder how u betray a dead person? it's that line of thinking that i find so weird. i'm not interested in the politics of the hens trying to out rank each other or even remind people of their connection to him(which marcil is obviously doing here).

If P had a will, wouldn't his will be followed after his death? People respect a person's will. Tyka had him cremated because that's what he wanted. Prince wanted those he allowed in his life to not go around telling his personal business. Mayte once said in an interview that she couldn't talk about certain thing because she signed something saying she wouldn't. She shouldn't want to betray that after his death. To me, I would think it's disrespectful and would find it hard to believe that person really loved him. Whether Mayte release or not is her business but it would make proper sense to honor his wishes (not just his will, if he had one) but also whatever commitment was made or contract signed. In other words, if he had a will and they follow it they she also follow what he wanted that wasn't written on a will. Jmo [Edited 10/8/16 12:33pm]

i see what you mean. the thing is betrayal hurts people and prince isn't here to be hurt, harmed or embarassed by anything anyone might divulge. also the whole thing about 2 peoople being in a marriage and both have their respective stories to tell. and finally, i have always believed that anyone who seriously asks and expects anyone else to sign such agreements are assholes just for asking. however common they may be in certain lines of work it's an asshole thing to do.

---

concerning the content of the book- the only points of interest to me would be her thoughts on larry grhamm entering the picture and where they lived. the twin nannies described the house as being a modern structure with no windows. the house on galpin was a modest split level ranch style home. did he buy a new family home for them, or did they live in the apartment in PP? other than that, knowing that she was a pet wife and is obviously not very bright, i can't imagine she would have anything truly interesting to say.

Vanessa is just giving her opinion. I do not sense she is jealous of Mayte. Just because Prince is dead and is a historical figure does not mean his all his personal business should become open season for books. Not everything needs to be public. This has because a hard concept in the age of TMZ and social media. My only hope that Mayte's book is truthful and respectful when writing about the good and bad times with Prince. She has a lot on her plate to address in her book.They are so many book on historical figures that are not accurate.

This book might be the worst post-death idea ever been ...sold.

It's a real shame women can't have certain opinions of other women without it being labelled/dismissed as jealousy.

For me, it comes down to one reality: of all the women he was involved with for one night or one year, he only married two. With the exception of Vanity, whom many think is the one that got away, the rest just seem to be a succession of starlets, protegees, employees and hangers-on. I would be interested to know with whom he was in love at the end, if he was in love. I have a feeling it wasn't the person who has been in The New York Times.

Another one?


Honestly I'm more excited about Little Red Corvettes book. That's ashame really, but she does sound like she'll be an interesting read just in general, hope I'm not disappointed when it comes out.

Now, THIS is the book that I find problematic. I think this woman is shameless. Why didn't she write this book while Prince was still alive? And, she claims that her husband is supportive of her book. SMH

What book is that? Don't tell me it's from the woman who aleges LRC was written about her?! How long can that be, a 2 A5 page deal?

Brace yourselves, soon Prince's cleaning lady will be publishing a book covering all aspects of his laundry, specifically the fact that Prince always threw his clothes in the laundry bin still inside out which really used to annoy her...

I must admit I don't see the problem with Mayte's Book. Firstly no-one knows what it will be like, it might well be positive and complementary about someone she shared some remarkable times with. Secondly, are people really say ing that she doesn't have the right to talk about her own life? Whilst I understand it's Prince's life it is also Mayte's life. Imagine if you had this life and then somebody told you that you don't have the right to talk about it.

Vanessa is cool. I was a fan of hers on General Hospital and Beverly Hills 90210. She is entitled to her opinion just like everyone else. Mayte also has the right to share her story, just want her to keep it classy that's all.

I would also say that if Maytes book was going to be a tell all, I would have thought the family would have tried to stop her publishing the book and she would not have been invited to participate in various Tributres by Sheila E and the Family.. if anything It says just how important to P Mayte was if his family and Friends want her involved.. just sayin
