No, they spent most of the time on the phone talking.

\Tamaron said they spent time together and she said she needed grief consoling after he died. Make of that what you will. I think he still had a few ladies he was seeing in his last years I doubt he was lonely.

There was an interview (a few actually) after he died, and think 1 or 2 before, where she said they talked on the phone a lot, next to her mother, Prince was the only person she talked to a lot on the phone.

.

I know she lost her sister to murder, and I don't think she ever moved on from that, Prince contacted her through the show she was on when he heard her say she was a Prince fan, and sent that song for them to play on the day show. She talked about how he used to tell her to style her hair like one those 1940s starletts etc
.
Unlike Judith Andy and other Tamarons job was localized to NYC

Not saying they never saw each other, but from what I got from those interviews, most of her communication with Prince was by phone.

.

It is quite sad people like Tamaron and Apollonia and a few others saying Prince was their best friend and such, and I think 'don't you have a life? don't you have people in your everyday life that you can reach out and touch that you see often?"

She has said they went out. Talked about never seeing him so much as drink a glass of wine. I think you are forgetting Prince could hope a private plane and fly to see her anytime he could.

That's shade.

Ummmm...you didnt keep it to yourself. You just told everyone.

Lala Escarzega said she was in 5 videos for Prince. I can list 4, but I do not know the 5th one.

1 - Chocolate Box

2 - Xtralovable

3 - Dance4Me

4 - Crimson & Clover

Lala also said she styled him for a photo shoot, with a ring and necklace. The ring being the large turquoise one that appears to lay across at least 3 fingers on his right hand. She said it was just costume jewelry. She said he told her he would like to have her dance on tour with him, but he said his audience might not like him for doing that, being she looked so much like Mayte. If you Google her name, you can probably find the text showing she said that. She was from an area that was close to PP.

I will try to post one link - https://www.facebook.com/...2258519963

Lala also said Prince wrote the song "That Girl Thang" for her. You can look that up in "Prince Vault" and see her name there.

I thought I'd also seen Tamron say they liked to watch movies together. Or was that someone else? I'm sure it was her. She also went to Michael Jordan's birthday party with Prince. [Edited 4/25/17 9:57am]

yeah, while talking on the phone lol

I think Lala also made a brief appearance in the unreleased video for The 1 U Wanna C.

Yes, because you can go to a party with someone on the phone and you can never see a person take a drink via the phone. Tamron even talked about dancing with him on the Tom Joyner show.

I believe he took her out a few times it does not mean it was anything serious but she was very upset by his death.

I'm just messing around.
I'm not denying they spent time together.

But I do believe most of her relationship with Prince was verbal which is still a relationship(long distance of sort)

Yeah, she was a Prince fan like us, before Prince started calling her.

True. From what I gathered Tamron and Prince did not spend much time together due to her busy schedule with NBC. She did speak opening about visiting PP. I think Tamron and Prince had a special bond/friendship and maybe Prince wanted more, but it never materialized. Tamron has been very respectful of Prince, a real classy lady. I think Prince was intrigued by her intellect. She is an attractive woman, no doubt and I think they would have made a cute couple. She was so devestated when the news broke of Prince's passing -- I felt so bad for her. She does seem very genuine and sweet.

^^^^ Yes, Prince was calling Tamron on the daily! What a lucky girl she was!! She must have been quite special to him. She said she would text pics of herself to Prince with her outfit of the day and ask for his approval. I mean.....whoa, to have Prince dress you and tell you what looks good on you? What a compliment. That's what I love about Prince (well, one of the things), and most men, because they are honest. If you say "Honey, do these pants make me look fat", and he says Umm, YES......he's telling you the truth! LMAO!!

I'm not so sure that Judith and Prince had a romantic relationship. In her first interview JH said that Prince said he would always be there for her. I think he genuinely loved and cared about her, but I don't think he was "in love" with her, imo.

.

I think the media has taken what few words she has said about her relationship with Prince and twisted it into something more, imo.

But sad on her part, because it doesn't seem she really had that connection in perspective. Maybe she did but calling Prince her best friend, is a touch out of touch.

Prince like people who 'idolize' him, so it was a good + for him to have heard that she talked about being a Prince fan on that day talk show.

Yes, how true. I think they shared things in common, more like a friendship rather than a love affair. He seemed like he adored her though. He sure had a way with women.

I don't think it is skepticism as much as what to believe or not, there was Andy Allo Judith Hill Tamron Hall claiming something and people claiming Damaris was too all around the same time, I forget, but I think there was a few more

Lala Escarzega, penguin girl (likely a figment of her imagination but who knows), Kandace Springs said she had to rebuff his advances, did he try it on with Shameless Maya as well? And lots more i'm sure.

What the definition of girlfriend actually was in the final years is up in the air though.

[Edited 4/17/17 18:02pm]

I was reading that article in GQ magazine and I have reason to believe "he tried" Kandace Springs and was going to "try" Shameless Maya but they were like "naw bro, do not pass go because you ain't getting the $200"- in other words they shot his ass down! I love me some Prince but I understand why a girl might want to think twice before giving up the booty!

peri1025 said:

It's Prince. I'm sure he was still dating/playng mind games with a lot of women at the time. Judith was just one of the many women he was seeing I'm sure. Seems like he was still in contact with Tamron, Lala, and possibly Andy at the time too. I do think it's interesting that after Andy, he was seeking out other women with big, natural hair but I digress. If Judith was his last gf, I just wish she had stayed with him and pushed him to get help.

I'll be damned I noticed the thing about the big natural hair too. Lol!

I thought I read somewhere that Prince asked Tamron to come to that last party he had at PP and she couldn't go because she had other obligations.

I remember this too. I think she said it while she was still on the Today show.

According to Lala, they were just friends. This is what she wrote last year:

"I am so grateful and feel so blessed and amazed that my fate led me to know him and become such a good friend of his up until his passing. I never would've guessed in a million years that my timeline in life would align with such an incredible soul."

https://www.facebook.com/lala.escarzega/posts/981942258519963

According to Tamron Hall, they were close friends and P once gave her a private concert as reported by People magazine here:

That post she made yesterday truly broke my heart. I bet she reslly does stare st that email response from him saying he was ok over and over. And im guesdong she is overwhelmed w guilt. Appsrently whatever their relationship was, he wanted it secret....sounds like.he made her believe that was to prote t what they had together but now im wondering if its bc he had Judith as well.

Yes. He wasn't ultra keen on his "privacy" because he had such superior morals than some of the rest of us, he didn't want anyone talking because he always had women here and women there who could make his life miserable if they found out about each other. He was a player his whole adult life and a master manipulator. I hate to mention this for fear of retribution, but there may have been a hint of misogyny deep in his purple psyche.

misogyny- Please explain how? Many of these women knew about his other women and accepted it. See a womanizer can not get away with it unless the women go along. Now some went along because they were in love with him and some went along because they were devireing a financial benefit from being involved with him. In some cases women are still milking the purple cow now that is gone and trust me you can not blame that on him.

OldFriends4Sale said:

That says a something not so good about women then.

But people see Prince, women who have certain standards, who can see men for what it is and not go there, more at stake. Also Prince wasn't the Prince of 1985 in the 2000s, his touch wasn't golden like then

Right? And OF4S, I'm not sure all of us would agree with that. For my money 2011 P was as golden as at any point in the 80s...

2011 Prince was not the same as 1985 Prince. It isn't a put down.

If we pull back from a place of adoration and awe, 2011 Prince was respected for being someone in the business for a long time, like a lot of other musicians who have been in the business for decades.

But 2011 Prince was not hitting on all points like 1985 Prince. I'm talking about those years of frenzied stardom, where women young and old knew who Prince was and he was electric.
