We can attend Mayte's belly dance class from home by going to Stageit.com and purchasing a ticket for whatever amount you want to donate. Anyone want to? | |

Exactly, he is her paid pitch man and who knows what else is going on with these two. | |

You know people gotta pay the bills. This is her going her job elsewhere. It's possible she needs the money. I know I can't take a day off - if I went somewhere I'd have to take my job with me. | |

The argument that Mayte has to make money to live is very true but why make it off a deceased person? She did not hesitate to cash in! She was already earning a living but clearly that was never enough, now she sees the opportunity for more money and fame - it leaves a bad taste in the mouth. She was groomed by her parents for this after all so the idea of morals or respecting the wishes of the dead is beyond her.

prince did not and could not have stopped the book back in 2012/13, whenever it was. she may have just put the book on hold while she was on the HWXs show since that would have been a steady paycheck. i agree that she has been groomed from an early age to the hustle.
++
MG, SE and to a lesser extent NG told their side of the story(in MG's case, began to and then stopped) while prince was still alive. the cash in accusations seem a little misplaced when directed at them. and i'll say again, SE has had a career and full touring schedule since she was about 15. with and without prince. the purple tour thing was already scheduled, she is turning some of the dates into charity events or tributes to p. no different than if i was booked into a gig and decided i was going to make it halloween themed bcos it falls near or on that date.

Totally agree tho I think the dance class thing is because she put the price up immediately following 21/4 which is poor taste to me. I think right now it seems like everything she does is related to Prince and making money off the connection (rightly/wrongly), I do think she could be successful in her own right with the dancing but I think she wants the fame too. She needs therapy. In 2011 she had a pic of herself on instagram which showed her phone case was a picture of Prince! She's never moved on and now she's positioned herself as his widow she likely never will and it's very sad to see. The price went up because the expenses went up to go along with the increased attendance. Studios are not free...the help is not free. We usually have a staff of 4-5 people working on this. We have been getting demands to travel to other cities too, when we do, that's not free either. We have many options for different packages, and a large portion of the proceeds go directly to her rescue as these dogs need food and fosters and boarding. At any given time she has 10-20 animals in her rescue that she is footing the bill for. She doesn't do it for fame either. Everybody that comes to the class has a great time and gets a great workout. As far as me arguing? Like you state your opinion, I state mine. So your allowed and I'm not. And this section of Prince.org is for associated artists and last time I checked she is much an associated artist as anyone else to ever come out of his camp. If ya don't want to read about her, skip these threads. That's all. [Edited 10/12/16 12:47pm] Mayte is a beautiful soul. Truly. She is real. So rare. If I were to lose my husband, whom I married at 20 and he was 32, I'd be heartbroken. It would be forever engrained in my heart. We have no children, but he is my heart. We've been married 28 years. Age means nothing. If she never marries again, or falls in love again...I for one understand that. She lost her love, albeit many years ago, but now he is truly gone. For anyone to judge how she is grieving has always stunned me. I read people say they can imagine what they're going to do now. Really? You did not know him, have a life with him etc. It just amazes me. For the record....I am one of the few who use my actual name. | |

Seen her in a live video at tonights tribute. She is very beautiful.

I forget about that reality show & when it aired- must explain why so many of the people who stan for her seem so young given how they romanticise her relationship with Prince & how they adore her very childlike snapchats. I forget she has a fan base from that, explains so much why some think she can do no wrong- cos they have no memory of anything from 90s or when she made digs on twitter/FB about Prince or whoever he was dating they don't get the context.
By the way this is in reference to what I've seen from on twitter & the like not necessarily here.

Out of all the women he had and could've had, I'm wondering why he chose to marry the 2 that he did? I know with the 1st marriage that there was hard times losing the babies.
Don't know what happened with the 2nd marriage. But wasn't Prince quite hurt and surprised at that divorce? Is Mani the one that really broke his heart? | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
I don't know who he loved the most (how would any of us know that?) but it did seem that with Mani he let his guard down more than he ever had with anyone. I think he thought he'd found a good solid woman and it would last forever and whether she broke his heart or not, who knows, but I do think he thought that would last. He really relaxed with her in a way I'd never seen him do with anyone before.

I thought I read somewhere that he didn't want the divorce with Mani, but he said that he couldn't stop her and if that's what she wanted, he wouldn't stand in the way.
Kinda makes me sad that he didn't have a life partner that he could spend the rest of his life with, have kids and grow old together. | |

I think when those divorce papers are open we are going to find out that she was at fault for that divorce and not him. She is trying to hide something. | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
Yeah, I'm curious about those as well. As far as him not wanting the divorce from MT , I'm not sure if that was because he loved her and wanted to be with her, or may have been completely due to JW religious beliefs.

Consider looking at how Mani calculated her way in. That's not normal, nor natural, nor love.
Mayte was always a professional, employable talent in her own right, regardless of her questionable parental guidance.
Susannah is pimping product around the corner again, but, that's fine here.

StopIt, get a life! I do remember you being delusional and lying I was a stalker at her pet charity events and belly dancing classes, which never happened. You will say anything including lies, rumors, and all to paint a perfect picture of Mayte. Pathetic you are and you make me sick. This is my normal life. These marital standards cannot be recreated with money. | |

Fams who attended Mayte's class loved it and many fams at the Official Prince Tribute loved her performance. It was awesome that she performed the dance intro to the song "7" like she did with Prince during the Act 1 tour. Prince loved when she performed that dance during the symbol era. | |

I saw that on her Instagram and almost cried. Beautiful performance and she looked so happy.

As far as her "riding on his coat tails"....... she was belly dancing before she ever met him. So this is something she's done forever. Maybe not teaching the classes, but her being a belly dancer didn't result from her meeting him. And the fact she was asked to be there by the family should say something. | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
Yes, we know she was belly dancing since a little girl, her parents sent a tape to Prince, pimping her out, I believe. | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
So did anybody from the org go and meet her? I read on Facebook that some idiots threw bottles at her while she was on stage. Any truth to that?

She's riding his coat tails & exploiting his death because: -she increased the cost of her dance classes immediately after his death. -she arranged for paps to photograph/video her discovering the news of his death & when she flew to Paisley in order to maximise her profile & position herself as a grieving heartbroken ex wife who was still married to him in her head -she is writing a book about their relationship - 16 years after the fact -she is releasing her book close to the anniversary of his death

If she's as bad as you say, I highly doubt his family and friends would be including her in things like they have been... | |

Listen, most women that marry rock stars never have to lift a finger again in life. She is doing whatever she can to make ends meet and in the process, helping animals. She and her friend, Meltedman have already said the book will be a love story and not a trash tabloid tell-all, so why is everyone hating on her so hard? I feel for her. Watching her dance to Seven was beautiful and sad-- it's obvious she never got over him- whether that is right or wrong- it is what it is.

and... Has anyone here not ever had a life experience that defines you as a person and changes your whole life? I know I have. It wasn't a man, but, if you meet Prince at the tender age of 17 (or whatever it was) and he is your first love and first marriage, first everything--- it would change your whole life. All of it-- like living in a fantasy. And then you're plunked back into the real world and all the magic is gone. It would be hard.

meltedman said: Purplebflogirl said: I agree with several posters that Mayte is no different than others..and cashing in on her Prince connection ( which ended in the 90's right?) It's a money grab for many..But at least she appears to be rescuing animals.But the grieving widow is played out.Hold dance classes, raise money for the animals that is fine.And leave it at that. Grieving widow? For real? She hasn't appeared on any big news shows or done any interviews claiming to be a widow, like others. If anything, other than a book coming out(1 of many, some from way less reliable sources), where has she appeared? Find me one interview, tv or magazine where she discusses his passing? Everybody has gone on Facebook with long winded posts and news mediums, doing interviews and such and she has not appeared on one. She made a statement when he passed and has privately dealt with the grief. You think CNN didn't come knocking? She is still traveling around the country teaching her Bellydance classes which have been well received (she was doing this before his passing, actually cancelled a class right after it happened) and rescuing endless numbers of animals all the while raising a child, oh and auditioning for and acting on tv shows. She appears at memorials and tribute performances when asked. She never just shows up. And she has been asked to almost all of them. So tell me, how does she come across as a grieving widow? Like I said earlier, she is getting blowback from a select few who have other agendas, which happens to be all women. I love Mayte and her beautiful spirit, and I agree wholeheartedly with everything you said. Erin Smith | |
