I get it you don't like her. But are you seriously throwing out the line"did not publish anything about him when he was alive" in reference to Manuela Testolini..for a second I thought you were talking about Mayte.

I hope Manuela tells her side. I don't know why I feel sorry for her because she could very well be a snake in the grass. But let's think about this for a second. People make excuses for Mayte's book, its timing, it lack of reference to rumors about affairs with Spanish dancers, and her HOllywood Ex's appearance. But Manuela doesn't get a side, doesn't get the benefit of the doubt. So I will be playing Devil's advocate for a second.

1.) the Superfan stuff...aren't we all? Maybe the infatuation with him as an artist went beyond just golddigging opportunism. Infatuation can be mistaken for love (even become love)

2.) HEr becoming a JW...well, if she loved him and they bonded over whatever..Love makes you do crazy shit. Mayte followed Prince down some crazy paths as well. JW's were just too much for her.

3.) The affair...According to her, P and Manuela didn't do anything physical when he was married to mayte. Well, if Prince can hold off having sex with Mayte until she was 19, then I am sure he can show some restraint here.

4.) Once again, We don't know what P told Manuela, We don't know entirely how Mayte was conducting herself. We are not even entirely sure how he and Manuela's proceeded during this time. Mayte didn't witness it. The only person who is still alive who knows is Manuela.

5.) The divorce papers...Manuela asked for money..So what. Most wives would. Manuela was smart. Mayte, according to herself, was not. Manuela stated that she was hurt so stuck it to him a bit. She could have stuck to him a lot more than she did. Also, I Find this fascinating in the internet interchange between P and Manuela from the divorce papers that she was upset about P bulldozing the house that he shared with Mayte. Remember, most of the time in that house was with Mayte, not Manuela. So, why did Manuela find it so unsettling? (Remember, this was a private conversation while they were still married and not for public consumption.)

6.) Manuela's facebook--if she said nothing about Prince or ignored his death---you folks would be just as pissed if not more so. She can't win for losing here. BTW, she took the picture of her header..it was placed there on April 21st and then taken down. A tribute to the time with a deceased ex husband is not the end of the world. Eric is not doing full time Prince replacement in the Revolution. As for Eric doing Prince tributes, we don't know much about the behind the scenes dynamics between the three of them. Rumors about P not wanting to be in the same place as the other two might be real, assumed or completely false.

7.) Manuela's earlier facebook about "enabling"...she was the only one to imply that P could struggle due to enablers. She might have been one of them at one point. But, she seems to have grown up. If she had an affair with Eric, could it be due to P overworking, a growing discontent with JW's, loneliness and a lack of patience for enablers like possible Kirky J?

No, I don't. At least not anymore. I used to until I saw her real personality come to light. She is dishonest and manipulative but some of us can read that easily.

First, she is not the most attractive woman in his harem as hard as she tries. Second, she has done a lot of wrong and even apologized for one of them. Mayte's book doesn't help her case. Then, she communicates cryptically. No need for words to know what her intentions are.

.

Amen! ^^ ^^

I've witnessed this phenomenon happen with other music wives before (who remarry within the industry) Ocaasionally it happens. Only in former times people used to at least have a little more finesse with how they chose to capitalize on former associations, and before, there was no 24/7 digital media to capture every infraction. The Benets are coming off as either a classic cuckholded marital Union like babynoz suggested, or worse, they are THAT kind of couple - unified by opportunism at its most tawdry and smarmy. Either way, it's not really a good look.

I was just going to type something to this extent. They are both riding the purple wave. After all, Eric is singing Prince songs (WTF?) and Mani is posting pics of her marriage days to Prince.

.

Riding the Purple wave says it all!!

.

I can see why Prince cut ties with both these woman. Good Lawd. Is there any woman out there who would actually love Prince for being Prince, and not his money or fame?

.

It coulda been me. Just saying.

FINALLY someone says what I thought, too!

Me three. For anyone hating in Mayte sadly it makes you look like just another toxic female with no respect for yourselves or your sisters. You sit there and honestly ask yourself if you would be ok for some other woman to move in on your man regardless of the circumstances. Mani was wrong, she did Mayte wrong, her involvement with Prince was inappropriate, she was wrong, wrong, wrong. Anyone who feels anything other than compassion for Mayte needs to have their head examined. We should be a unified force against these aggressive female predators who ruin and destroy lives without pause.

.

Prince made his choices. Right or wrong, it was his choice and his life. It takes two to tango.

You mean ALL Of US are jealous judgmental people with zero sympathy who ALL think the same thing about M2?

Prince was divorced from M1 and M2. That alone should tell you everything right there. They were both Gold diggers!

M1 and M2 keep on riding on Prince's coattails.

Sad.

I know a lot of women secretly think that THEY would have been his

match

or"equally Yolked" as we have discussed before

easy to think it, in retrospect....

We could even specualte and create a

Profile of what we think this woman would be like

What qualities would she posess?

But in reality....?

Ill go with what I orginally posted and reiterate

He remained ever Hopeful...

And GOOD GIRL...

So long as you're respectful Angel

I can see that my difference in perspective has caused you some resentment. I was hoping you'd be a little more mature than that. Oh, well.

That was a Joke Angel...saidwith affection

not resentment or anything else...

Sorry you saw it differently

I was going to say I didn't see anything wrong either but because I'm on team Angel I kept quiet

One more thought I have is how, with time, we will lose track of those two. I know nothing about Eric unless it is reported on this site. Someone obviously trying hard but without enough potential to make it bigger than the little clown he is right now. As for Mani, all we know is being the second wife Prince married by accident out of the blue and who brought no artistical experience to Prince' world. Slowly but surely the priorities attracting us to Prince, mainly artistic, will sustain memories of his associates and the stronger ones. This means we will totally lose sight of Manuela Testolini just like we did for some associates who understood this quick and for that reason are not saying anything else but moving on with their lives, trying other fields, and staying away from...US. Prince fans.

Hope you don't mind me adding to this. I think Manuela gave Prince something different than he ever experienced before in a relationship. I think she was more business-minded, like he was and he loved her charity work and they both accomplished some wonderful things together, but their marriage ended, because that is what Manuela wanted. It did not take long for Prince to realize that he was being used (again), because she wanted a lot more out of the divorce than she actually ended up with, but Prince was very generous with her. I think Prince did love her at one time, but things change. Just my :two cents:

I noticed that the day Mayte's book come out and she is making all these apperances on TV, Mani (or M2) decides to change her FB profile picture a photo Prince took of her on their Marriage/honeymoon trip to Hawaii. All I could think of was someone (M2) is a little jealous and seeking some people to ackowledge that she was his most recent wife..... I just felt some shade toward Mayte with the timing of that profile pic change and her comment, "photo taken my a mystery photographer " Then today, Apples makes a comment under it with all sorts of praise and emoji's of this photo. To me, it looks like M2 thinks M1 is stealing the spotlight and she acting a little desparate. Something tells me to expect a new memoir from M2 in the near future but she will position it as all proceeds go to her charity so haters won't hate. M2 craves the attention she no longer gets and is resentful she is not part of the attention M1 is receiving. It seems like Mani and Apples have sister-wifed up against M1. SMH

Now let's comment on WHY someone who is "happily married" with 2 children and "family is her everything" would use a profile photo of herself from her first husband's wedding 17 years ago if they she wasn't needing attention? How on earth is that lifting up her current husband and showing her pride in what they have built together? It's a public slap in Eric's face!!! It's like Prince is her show pony and Eric is stud horse she leaves in the barn. Thoughts?

After reading maytes book i don't have any respect towards M2

Me either!

Mayte wasn't innocent in how she got with Prince. She knew he was seeing other women at the time, Nona, Carmen, etc. She probably got pregnant on purpose cause apparently it was a surprise for him, then he proposed to try to do the right thing by her. How you get him is how you lose him. Mani (even at her young age) was a more mature, stronger partner for Prince than Mayte ever thought of being. I wish he had meet and married Mani first. Things may have turned out better for him.

True. The way Prince met both M1 and M2 is very strange. I'm sure you know the story about when Prince gave Mayte her engagement ring and she went and showed it off right in front of Nona!! She was crushed. Yes, Mayte was young and naive, but she knew how to get what she wanted from Prince. I think both M1 and M2 were gold diggers, so I don't know if he married M2 first, it would have turned out any better.

I thought the same way when I first met Mani. I did not like Mayte at all for cultural reasons (revealing too much and not representing women for their real worth instead of a mere body and sex) while I loved Mani who presented herself as a tomboy, humble, and so approachable to people. I was so hoping Mani and I would be close friends because I felt we had so much in common. (Yes, I met her personally at Paisley Park)

Time has changed, attitude has changed, and opinions have changed.

Nowadays, I feel empathy for Mayte (losing her youth, suffering tragedies, and being pushed out) as well as a certain inspiration for fighting phases of deep depressions yet keeping strong. Today, she is opening up about it all regardless of resistance. Mani, on the other hand, has been more attracted to the limelight, money, making a name for herself, and trying hard to persuade people she was still in Prince's world when evidence showed she was not only pushed out but had to remain away from Prince.

Whatever reasons are behind close doors, their public persona has revealed a lot about those two characters.

This exact quote can be said about Mayte now and over the past 17 years! If there was no gag order from Prince, her words, why didn't she "open up" while he was alive? He's not here to refute anything she says, so many will just take her word as gospel.

Mayte was engaged to Prince months before she was married

Where are you getting your information? It is woefully inaccurate. Prince proposed to Mayte on July 25, 1995 and they married on February 14, 1996. So, if you are saying he proposed because she was pregnant and he was "trying to do right by her", then she was pregnant for 1 year and 4 months. Yep. Makes sense to me. And, fwiw, Prince invited Nona to the event where she saw Mayte's engagement ring. Mayte did not do anything malicious to Nona, Carmen, etc. Prince ended those relationships on his own terms. Additionally, Manuela was calculated in her pursuit of Prince. She seized upon an opportunity, Prince was incredibly vulnerable having just lost his beloved Amiir, with dishonest intent. Her most egregious action, imo, was to embrace the JW religion only to relinquish it upon the dissolution of her marriage to Prince. Faithful follower, indeed!

Prince proposed to a few ladies and didn't follow through. Maybe Mayte got pregnant while they were engaged to his surprise, so he followed through. All I know is he exiled her for some reason from his life, even saying he wanted an annulment. And then trying to make her buy a ticket to one of his concerts? Something deep happened with her that made him flee and not want to look back.

Unless you are related, this information would be very difficult to corroborate considering it only involved Prince and Mayte.

Whoever you are or claim to be endiadj!

Mayte was a very young girl when she first Met Prince. 16 years-old, so I think a lot of the blame is on her parents who pushed her into the limelight and encouraged her to dance for Prince.

.

The funny thing about M2 is that one of the reasons she divorced Prince was because she didn't like being in the limelight. But look who's she married to now, Halle's leftovers, doing tributes to Prince. Creepy!

.

Well, M1 wrote a book about her life with Prince and she was on TV talking about it, so she is only drawing more attention to herself in the "limelight".

M1 was left in another country while husband ran around with his mistress openly who was no different then Nona and Carmen who he was openly seeing while dating M1 but she still after 20 years cannot stop talking about him.

I know after that crap that came from the divorce docs she deserves no attention.

Writing all kinds of crap about him on her Facebook page when she was a greedy golddigger.

Pretending that still talked when Dr. Funkenberry said he had to relay message to Prince about the school because he would not speak to her. In fact he said he stopped speaking to her altogehter before the divorce papers were filled.

Dudes who burn shit and stop talking to their spouses do so for only a few reasons both these chick got skelatons in the closet they are not sharing. It takes two people to make a marriage go bad. All stories have two sides.

I am not even going to go into Mayte and her racist buddy Dave. You are judged by the company you keep and the stuff you do.

She can keep that ugly China but she could not keep her son's urn!!!!

"Dudes who burn shit..", which fucking one is it??!! On the Apollonia thread you just stated that in your opinion, Mayte burned her own stuff. #DELUSIONAL Furthermore, on an interview this morning Mayte stated that the Ahmir's urn was not given to her in the divorce. We all know P kept Mani's immigration papers in a "safe place" as per unsealed divorce docs, and you yourself stated "P had a jealous streak a mile long"...so exactly how do you know he didn't "keep" Mayte's stuff to be just as spiteful.

You are defending a person who is delusional. She does not even know if her stuff was burned and how do you burn ashes?

She has no proof this happend and has not even named the assistant who told her all this occured. It makes for great drama in the book and you are one of many who is buying into.

In addtion, if he did burn it so what. It fine to say my stuff was burned but my guess is nothing was burned that he did not own and I am sure he saw it in that manner.

He may very well have burned her shit or maybe he kept it the point his dude's do not this type of shit for nothing. There are two sides two every story and we are never going to hear one side of this drama because it would intefer with the riding of the purple coatails to the bank. I am telling you I would not spend the time and energy on someone who treated me bad which is all she has done for 20 years.

Maybe she did not get anything in the divorce because she did not make an effort which would mean she did not care. If you want something you make an effort to get it.

All she had to do was get an attorney and once shit started hitting the news she would have gotten money out him and maybe even the urn. She did not make an effort so what is the point complaining about it now.

Exactly. In the book, it sounded as if she wanted to divorce quietly, no big production. She wrote him a letter and next thing you know, there is a deal, she gets the house in Spain, and it's over. This is how she presented it. I can go back and read, but I don't remember her mentioning a prenuptial. It seems to me that should've gotten more? Why didn't she fight for the baby's ashes then or request that it be part of the transfer of property? I can't speak from experience as I've never gone through divorce, but the way it all went down, is a bit bizarre. It's too late to question and/ or complain against what she didn't get.

Maybe she did not get anything in the divorce because she did not make an effort which would mean she did not care. If you want something you make an effort to get it.

All she had to do was get an attorney and once shit started hitting the news she would have gotten money out him and maybe even the urn. She did not make an effort so what is the point complaining about it now.

Exactly. In the book, it sounded as if she wanted to divorce quietly, no big production. She wrote him a letter and next thing you know, there is a deal, she gets the house in Spain, and it's over. This is how she presented it. I can go back and read, but I don't remember her mentioning a prenuptial. It seems to me that should've gotten more? Why didn't she fight for the baby's ashes then or request that it be part of the transfer of property? I can't speak from experience as I've never gone through divorce, but the way it all went down, is a bit bizarre. It's too late to question and/ or complain against what she didn't get.

M1 did not make the effort to get more out of the divorce. She says so in the book. She says that her attorney told her it was a crap offer, but she just wanted it over with, so she took the 1st offer. My question is why, when she would need $$$ to get back on her feet and be comfortable for at least a little while? In the preface of the book, M1 says that she is not telling all, and the gaps in the whys for several situations is proof that she is not telling the whole story. Maybe she didn't persue more because she just did not have the fight in her or maybe she is hiding something on her side of the fence. After all, she is the one who asked for the divorce.
