I GUESS PPL HAVE FORGOTTEN ABOUT ALL OF THE BACKLASH P'S FANS HAVE GIVEN HIM DURING HIS CAREER NOW THAT HE'S GONE. I HAVE NO ISSUE WITH THE SUPPORT OF HIM, I SUPPORT HIM, I'M HIS FRIEND FIRST. HOWEVER, SUPPORTING DOESN'T MEAN SLANDERING SOMEONE ELSE PUBLICLY. THAT'S A LAWSUIT. IT'S VERY UNNECESSARY & UNPROFESSIONAL TO HOP ON SOCIAL MEDIA & START ACTING LIKE A KID BECAUSE YOU'RE MAD FOR WHATEVER REASON. I READ THE BOOK, IT'S NOT A TELL ALL. EVERYTHING IN THE BOOK CAN BE FOUND ON THE ORG, TRUTHFULLY. AS FAR AS PPL CALLING HIM A PEDOPHILE OR DRUG ADDICT & LAYING HER FOR IT: THAT'S NOT WHAT SHE SAID. IN FACT SHE STATED THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE: HE NEVER TRIED TO CROSS THE LINE WITH HER. SHE WAS 19 WHEN THEY GOT INTIMATE. SHE SAID HE SIGNED POWER OF ATTORNEY DOCS THAT WERE VALID FOR 6 MONTHS, WHILE SHE WORKED FOR HIM, UNTIL SHE TURNED 18. SHE NEVER SAW HIM DO DRUGS BUT RECOUNTS SITUATIONS WHERE DRUGS WERE INVOLVED, SHE NEVER CALLED HIM AN ADDICT. IN ACTUALITY, IT'S HIS "FANS" THAT MAKE THESE CLAIMS OF HIM BEING A PEDOPHILE AND DRUG ADDICT. PPL WHO LOVE HIM & KNOW HIM KNOWS HE WAS NEITHER & SHE CAN'T BE BLAMED FOR PPL & THEIR STUPIDITY. EVERYONE IS KNOWS HOW THE MEDIA & TABLOIDS RUTHFULLY TWIST THE STORY, SHE STATED WHAT IT WAS SHE DOESN'T NEED TO GO BEHIND & CLARIFY WHAT THE MEDIA IS SAYING WHEN SHE ALREADY CLEARLY MADE A STATEMENT. EVERY CELEBRITY HAS BEEN A VICTIM OF HAVING THEIR WORDS TWISTED IT'S PART OF THE BUSINESS, SHE'S NO EXCEPTION BUT THAT'S NOT HER PROBLEM. WE AS PPL HAVE SAID THINGS & SOMEONE HAS TWISTED OUR WORDS, IT HAPPENS.

Thank you for making sense!

Luckily I dont particularly care what you think. I will keep saying it so you may as well suck it up.

I don't take in other people's harshness; I transform it into something gentler. Hopefully you'll go a little easy on yourself today...

Your comment was pretty rich coming from one of the most sanctimonious people on this site.

Wooly headed, navel-gazing platitudes aside, I am at peace because the TRUTH of my comment can't be denied.

PRINCE HIMSELF CAUGHT MORE FLAK AROUND HERE THAN ALL OF HIS EXES COMBINED

Which is why you chose to deflect from it.

Nice try though,

I'm gonna keep saying it until somebody gets it. When somebody chooses to put themselves out there, whether it's a book, podcast, interview, etc, no one has a right to complain about the backlash. That is the cost of doing business in the big city, period. Stop whining.

It is beyond absurd for you people to take sides because of what the wifeys say about the sister-wives and vice versa.

Y'all silly. Mayte is no sacred cow who is off limits.

Furthermore, I don't care if I have to say it a thousand times, PRINCE HIMSELF CAUGHT MORE FLAK AROUND HERE THAN ALL OF HIS EXES COMBINED, and I ain't gonna let y'all forget it.

For that reason, all of his former associates who get criticized for various reasons can suck it up as far I'm concerned.

It is the world we live in, even the Pope is scrutinized; no one is sacred.

I wonder if the purple cent will ever understand this?

Exactly. And that is the way it should be. People want to be selective and sensitive about who can and cannot be criticized or questioned and I am not having it.

Criticized or questioned -- is that what this is?

.

If you want to criticize the book, then do so, but that is not what is happening in many cases. The meanness and hate just drips from some posts. I have to say, the things people say on this board are far worse any any tabloid report. Here people take rumors, twist them, add to them, and they become different stories altogether. Ii’s amazing. They put 2 + 2 together and get 5. Sheesh, how many threads talked about her being 16 when she met him, NOW it’s an issue?

.

She is telling the story as she remembers it. Do you remember every little detail of every event in your life? Come on.

.

The indignation displayed by some org members is beyond rational.

Some people want to check dates, pick apart every word said, take statements (totally out of context) and apply them to her whole life. If you don’t support her, then guess what, don’t buy the book, but please don’t discuss something you haven’t read, as though you are the authority.

.

The questions of when she believed prince cheated, or specifics of infidelity, or marital discussions are left out of the book, as well as a host of other topics… they are the details (scandalous/tell all) that would make P fans GO CRAZY!!! Maybe she is vague or glosses on purpose. She is telling her story, what she believed at the time, how she loved him, and remember she is doing so with the benefit of life experience and hindsight. Do any of us look back at what we did at 20 years old and remember it exactly as it was?

.

I think if she detailed a blow by blow discussions / arguments or experiences she had with him durning the 1992 to 2000 time frame the org would blow up! Now that would be a scandalous tell all book and a different discussion.

.

For this of you who actually read the book, please tell me if you agree? She really doesn’t say anything new really if you read through old threads, she only verifies or clarifies, or brings certain P events into perspective, she doesn’t reveal all! Isn’t that what you were afraid of? She didn’t do a tell all book, and you’re still angry/not satisfied with her.

.

I have a feeling she could hand some of you the winning lottery ticket and still she couldn’t win you over to say anything positive.

.

sorry for the soap box, peace.

~~DD55

Good points all around.

As I read more posts about it, I also find orgers experiencing a certain thrill in simply attacking others, or wanting to have the last word no matter what part of a sentence is picked apart, or even the pleasure to just argue. These people I label as ...sick.

No, I am not because this is a discussion board with moderators who decide what will or will not be allowed whether I personally agree with other posters comments or not. That is what you signed up for when you joined.

I do not condone censoring comments I don't agree with unless it is something that is against the site rules. We have people here who are taking sides in a dispute and think they can stifle dissenting opinions because it hurts their feelings. Sorry snowflake but it does not work that way.

ON TOPIC, M1 had her say and if others who knew him decide to have their say, it's no big deal. I am not taking sides and nothing you have said negates the validity of my initial comment.

Stop deflecting.

If you have something to say to me then please be woman enough to address your comments to me. Don't be a coward.

Both of you need to stay on topic.

Didn't I bring you down on my last post and still stand by it. [Edited 4/12/17 19:21pm]

It is against the site rules to carry a beef from one thread to another. Please confine your whining, garment rending, weeping and gnashing of teeth to one thread. Making comments about me isn't going to protect M1.

Again, Apples, Jill, Anna etc. have every right to comment on any publication they choose to discuss.

PRINCE ROGERS NELSON TOOK MORE FLAK HERE REGULARLY THAN ALL OF HIS ASSOCIATED COMBINED, FACT!

Any and everybody else can get in line and cry me a river.

Stay on topic.

Then stop breaking the rules by attacking others and keep your dirty mouth somewhere else.

My replies are on topic until you pounce. I was having a convo with Angelooksdown when YOU decided to butt in with drama from a different thread. That is against the rules.

Again, Prince's associates and anyone else has a right to critique Mayte. That is the topic. Your hysterics will not change that.

You mean I should list who you are attacking like you do? Well at least you know you have issues with other people too

If angel has an issue with me I have zero problem with her speaking for herself like she did before you butt in because of your anger from a separate thread, which is against the rules.

One common thing in the pic of these women was, they were all Prince's Ho's.

Not true.

One is Andre's wife.

Careful now with the name-calling. Remember, Prince was already with someone else when M1 came along.

I was kind of pissed at susannah for selling shirts and claiming a great deal of credit for starfish and Coffee (to the point of suing other folks for selling a t-shirt with the facts from the song prior to her doing so.) If Cynthia Rose (like she claims) was a real person then the facts from her life are not copyrighted to Prince or Susannah..Facts are not intellectual property.

Jill can act a bit OTT but Wendy also said she and LIsa 'wrote' Purple Rain but it is a fact that that was collaborative effort (melody, lyrics and guitar solo mostly P)

Really? They said they wrote PR? At first they only said they wrote the first chord note.

No, she absolutely did not say that. I believe it was in the extras for the most recent anniversary edition of Purple Rain that she told the story of how the song came to be and said, "Did Wendy and Lisa write Purple Rain? No. But we helped."

JJ had an awful post on the boycottmayte instagram page which has been removed .It basically ranted about what her mum had to do sexually to get Maytes tape to P. I will qualify that JJ has said her FB account had been hacked .I don't know if that affects the IG account

I did not read it but Jill Jones was in Prince camp for years and comes from an family in the biz. I don't why there is hate for Jill. There are awful things that go down at times and desperate or determined people may do certain things. Groupies are groupies for a reason. I am not calling M1's mom a groupie. I am saying Jill is legit. She has been there, done and seen various sides of music business and the culture that goes with it. I do not havecto like or agree with her but she is legit. I am not discounting her on anything she shares.

I wouldn't call her a groupie, either. I'd call her a pimp.

But I digress.
