bibrose, I totally get your point.

You don't like the book and are exercizing your right to dislike the book and critique it.

Gotcha.

I just have 2 questions: Why not give Mayte your opinion of the book since she wrote it, and not torture everyone else? Also, When will it be enough?

[Edited 4/8/17 0:54am]

I admit I don't understand all this devotion for Mayte, but I'm not "tortured" by it. Likewise, why should you or anyone else be by the opposing view? If you don't want to hear it or "enough is enough" for you, then keep scrolling. Bibrose is welcomed to share opinion here and directly to Mayte if so inclined- although I'm sure Mayte has her people reading this forum and already knows. She should also know by now, that when you write a book, you need to be prepared for the wonderful reviews and the critical ones as well.

Oh, that guy...I thought you meant JLo's ex-husband.

Sorry, I should've spelled Mark with a K.

Actually, she does explain it.

It's explained pretty well.

She signs a document that outlines the both of them annulling their vows. Then the document disappears with Prince. How is this explaining?

Exactly. She said that he "bullied" for hours until 4 a.m. when she finally gave in and she signed the document but she didn't explain it other than saying it was not legally binding. So if she explained well in your book, then I guess LBrent, we don't have the same book My impression by how she explained it, was that he wore her down with his antics that she surrendered without possibly knowing what she just "scribbled" her name to.

Great! Can we have your crib notes on it 'cause my take away from that whole thing was there was no explanation. She wrote she didn't read something and that she signed something. That was all the explanation she provided in the book. Then she writes she wrote him a letter saying she knew he didn't love her any more and, less than 60 days later (fastest divorce on record it seems), she got an envelope handed to her from her lawyer.

See? You got it. There ya go.

And it was all right in the book.

BTW, since her lawyer was in NJ, maybe the divorce papers are filed there or in NYsince folks said they couldn't find a record of it in Minnesota.

BTW, as I've pointed out earlier in the thread that got pulled, NY requires 2 years of CONTINUOUS residency to file, so, yeah....I doubt it.

She said she signed it without reading it but Prince explained to her it was a document to annull their vows. She agreed by signing it to the anullment of the marriage. She daid it wasnt legally binding but she also didnt read it. What and who was the document for? Did Prince have his lawyer draw it up? This is the clarification i was talking about. In the morning he hoofed it out of there with the doc in hand.

These unanswered questions are correlated to the topic of this thread because if the items she was trying to auction/ sell were in her possession or were transferred to her through a divorce settlement, then she should've been free to do what she wanted to with them. It's obvious that if Prince was suing her, that she was not. Why is the question. Aside of from trademark issues (like LauraRichardson mentioned earlier in this thread), I can't think of any reason other than she wasn’t supposed to have them in the first place. Based on what she said in the book about him bullying her and wearing her down to sign this document without reading it, tells me that she was salty and felt he better not start in with her about selling things after all he'd done to her- hence her comment, “Prince better not mess with me”. I italicized “done to her” because when she starts in her book with the insinuations and misrepresentations of Prince, it’s about what he did to her. There is never any responsibility on her part about her role. Only my opinion.

Mayte had the items because Prince left them in the house in Spain. She made several attempts to get him to pick up his stuff, but he refused and left them there. She noted this in her book, that he had left clothing and other personal items at the house, that she called him several times, sent him letters, etc., to get him to pick up his stuff, and he never did. Therefore, legally, they were hers since she made the attempts and he refused.

The tapes were his, his music so she couldnt sell tbem even if he had left them lying around. There must have been some basis he had the auction pulled.

This I understand- his music and trademark items were not for her to sell. So if that's what she was was trying to do, then it makes sense for him to have sued her, taking them down.

Yes....and additionally, had kept them in climate controlled storage for years. That is a costly monthly expense, I assure you. She did not profit in any way via the divorce. By the time the Marbella house sold, any equity had been exhausted by the general upkeep during the time it was on the market. And, just to further clarify, they (she and Prince) did not close the sale with cash. They put a down payment toward the purchase and had monthly mortgage payments (gleaned from info she provided in the book). Hope that helps to clear up any "what did she do with all the money she got in the divorce?) questions. Almost forgot.....she also included her pink Mercedes/BMW/can't remember the make, in the sale of the house. As incentive for the buyers.

She wrote she got the house and contents in Spain. I'm assuming he had clothing there when he did visit. I am surprised, however, that she didn't just pack up all his stuff and ship it to MN after he didn't get back to her, especially when she was engaged to Tommy Lee, instead of continuing to pay the "costly monthly expense" for 17 years. I also remember reading, when the Marbella house was listed again in 2006, that the Pink MINI had been included in the purchase price in 2004.

Exactly no matter who if you put yourself out there by writing a book, going on a reality TV show etc. you are welcoming the public to discuss you good and bad. Interviewers should be able to ask questions about the guardianship, her age and the annullment.

BTW, please leave Denise Matthews and TOB out of the discussion about Mayte's book. TOB suffered a loss he has not recovered from but is gracious enough to share with us. Denise is at rest and need to be allowed to rest in peace! We all know she rejected the name "Vanity" and reverted to her given name. Please show her some respect!

Regarding the bolded text.....you cannot make a demand for freedom of speech while attempting to silence another who is entitled to that same right. So no, I will post what I please, about who I please, when I please! Furthermore, you can critique (not critic, btw) the contents of a book without relentlessly bashing the author. You, and your posse, do not seem to grasp that concept.

This book is about the author. To discuss the book you have to discuss M1 it is about her life and times.

She may have had even more personal items than just tapes or music maybe letters he received or wrote to others. That makes you wonder who was being contacted about the auction. Clearly she must have things from those contacted . I have to look at the other pages in this thread to see who else was in communication with the aution house. It is very intriguing.

That's right. She needs to endure scrutiny as it comes with the territory of writing a book and thrusting herself into the spotlight about Prince.

Gurl, yes...I like JLo's Marc Anthony and all, but I was like, Huh? So P's gonna have a NYRican accent and be nearly 50 when the story starts???

If she was left with nothing, how the hell did she make the payments at all on a expensive house like that? Its not like she immediately had a career once she and P split. Explain how that works. I would think that either her first couple year's payments were late or she had some money from Prince to pay the payments or that in the divorce Prince paid off the house payments. A person with no money would have to fill for bankruptcy if they were stuck with those kind of payments. (remember she supposedly already depleted her 100,000 dollars.) Her divorce papers need to come out too. Why Manuela's and not hers?

LMAO

1) My computers are usually turned on 24/7 and open to my favourite websites, but I'm not watching them 24/7.

2) I'm retired. I was a career Registered Nurse for 34 years.

3) I'm also an insomniac from working night shift all those years so I'm awake most nights.
