This is the REAL Mayte. She has always resented her paltry divorce settlement from Prince. She was mad because she didn't get that "Purple Rain money," but now she's making up for it. This book is strictly about the vast fortune that she is poised to make by exploiting Prince's name and selling her so-called truth. Shame on her. I predict this shameless, mercenary money-grab is going to backfire on her.

In the event that the link doesn't work, which has been known to happen on selected links on the org, here is the direct link to the Hollywood Exes clip that can be copied and pasted into your browser:

Sadly Mayte is still a child that thinks she is "entitled". Does she not realise that she has been manipulated by people smarter than herself with regard to this book. Many other people have a financial interest in the success of this book, not the least, the publisher. Mayte is still coming from a place of bitterness, loss and resentfulness, not realising she will bring all this down on herself if she does not slow down with her insinuations. Other than the shared grief of the death of their child they had nothing more to share and hence the divorce.This book is not coming from a place of love. It is a selfserving account of a bitter person who as shown truthfully in the video,feels she is OWED. She is still immature and irresponsible in her actions.

^^ I agree ^^

Finally, a thread where people have some common sense!

Do people suffering from substance abuse die overnight? There are unfortunately many people who use drugs and overdose a couple of times for decade. Sadly.

So you're saying one incident that she mentions from the mid-1990s means he was suffering from substance abuse for the last 20 years? Something happening in the mid 90s and dying in 2016 is not "overnight".

We see what happens when people use substances over the years look at what happened with Whitney Houston. She lost her voice.

Prince loss nothing but his ability to dance, dance, dance but that is normal as people age and joints change.

I will never believe years of substance abuse.

I'm really disappointed in Mayte. She knows Prince was a very private person and he would not approve of her writing a book about their life together. No, I haven't read her book and I won't. She wanted to write a book a few years ago, and Prince shut her down. I'm sorry for what she had to go through with the loss of their son; it was a painful ordeal for both her and Prince. Their relationship/marriage was a very complicated one and he ended the marriage and with good reason. Prince wasn't perfect, but he was hurt, and I understand that. Mayte surely was no angel either. It just seems to me that her book is about revenge and having the last word. I just don't feel that Prince would be cool with her talking about such intimate things. He was devestated when he lost his son--they both were. I sincerely wish Mayte well. I don't support her book, but if it helps her find some closure and move on with her life, then there was something good to come of it. Seeing people who are profiting off of Prince's death is what upsets me. It's about morals and respect for a man who is no longer on this earth to speak and defend himself.

Its a fact unfortunately.. all of Princes Proteges and ex band members ex-wife's are all trying to make money at this time.. I don't blame them.. Prince due to him being so controlling cost people money too.. yes he might not be here to defend himself but if he had his way we'd know nothing... He was Human, he was flawed.. but truly most of the things people are saying including Mayte does not surprise me about him.. if you look at the way he conducted himself over the years its all there anyway. It doesn't diminish the fact he was a genius and was one of the great entertainers of our time.. but really if he cared about what people thought after he died I think he would have had a will.. .. I think just people really need to enjoy the music and his performances and let whoever say their thing and if you dont want to know just don't read it or get on here... his legacy will never be tarnished he wasn't a freak like MJ.. thank God!! he was just controlling of everything.. and that's it.. Rant over..

True. People will do what they wanna do, right or wrong. They have to look in the mirror each morning.

I agree. Prince's legacy will never be tarnished.

I know some people were saying she was delusional, from the beginning of her last 15 minutes of fame, and I thought that was probably over stated. But the further I get into the book, about half way now, and the more I see her on tv, I am beginning to think she is delusional. I think she thinks, now that he has passed, he has come back to her, and she can talk about him like she is his widow, and believes that her shady book is loving.

LOVESYMBOLNUMBER2 - I am still laughing! The part that I find spooky is her saying she haunted his home at Galpin Ave. How can a living person haunt someone's home thousands of miles away. She must be into occult stufff. No wonder he had everything that reminded him of her burnt in a bonfire in LG's backyard, and then tore down the house.

This type of obsession with another person, even if one has been married to the person before, is not healthy. It is psychotic. She did not own Prince. Once he divorced her and moved on, she should have sought psychological counseling and therapy in order to move on too. There is no point in her continuing obsession with P. The man is dead and gone! The woman needs to move on.

The people who are indulging her psychotic behavior are not helping her. At this rate, she is never going to find another person to settle down with. At age 70+, when her parents are no longer with her and her daughter has moved on, she is just going to be a sad, pathetic, and lonely person. She should not count on her adopted child to be there for her. She will most likely go back to her birth mother. This is very sad.

Calling MJ a "freak" is not cool. People assume that P was wealthy and had lots of cash lying around al the time. In reality, he had huge overhead costs that he had to cover. During the Symbol era when he was with M1 he was not making as much money as he did before. There was a time when some of his properties were in foreclosure due to outstanding property taxes. He paid the property taxes and the foreclosure action was halted. He had homes and other fixed assets but he was not always flush with a lot of cash. When he died, the asset inventory list did not disclose a lot of cash. He probably did the best that he could do at the time in terms of the settlements that he made with the two wives upon his divorce from them. Both of them were very young, and they could move on and generate income on their own. If they married him expecting to make a fortune and that did not happen, tough luck! If he had children with them then one would expect them to have received more from him. At the end of the day, neither one of them gave him a child that lived. He was not obligated to take care of everyone that came into his life. That is why God gives each of us talents so that we don't go sponging off other people like parasites.
