What person on the earth is not self conscious from time to time or just different with different people at different times in their life. Also you are leaving out that she is speaking about their short affair in the past and just using 91/2 week as an example as she certainly discussed having sex more than once with him. Perhaps once was like 91/2 weeks and another time using the furniture. Don't you think it is something that Robyn said the same thing about using the furniture could mean he was really using the furniture. Did he not tell us this in Gett Off? Also you are leaving out that Devin was molested by her step father and I am sure this left her with trauma and maybe the inability to have an orgasm which would have nothing to do with Prince which Devin seemed to understand as she still said she enjoyed being with him.

Funny how you approve of Devin's book,where she apparently shares alot of personal information about Prince,and yet you're angry at Mayte (who was actually married to Prince) for writing a book about her life with Prince

Isn't that the truth.

Oh my goodness, is this, Mayte is greater than sliced bread, mess carrying over into other threads?

Just wondering why it's ok for some to write a book, and make money off of the purple gravy train, and but it's not ok for others?

A 6-month affair way back in 1985? She was nothing more than Prince's booty call.

For me, I draw the line at spreading harmful/demeaning gossip about someone in a book especially after they've passed away and no longer here to defend him/herself. insinuations of him taking her drugs, gossip about him burning his baby's ashes, her interpretation of his first reaction to their child, that stuff is hurtful and harmful. That's what Mayte brought to the table in her book.

Are you referring to Mayte? I haven't read her book, nor do I care to. Are you saying Mayte admits to taking drugs with Prince?

.

I have to agree with you; all these people coming out and saying things about Prince when he is no longer here to speak for himself is very hurtful and disrespectful, to say the least. Prince was not the type of man who would ever talk trash about any woman he was with, and he was with plenty of them! Just saying.

I think it's unfair that only a handful of orgers even mention Mayte's name but the rest still have to be subjected to her name being spread all over other threads that have nothing to do with her. I know I didn't even mention her name even in the thread about her because I personally have zero interest in her one way or the other. I've paid for her book, she's gotten all the pennies she'll get from me. I've commented all I care to about what I think about it. If she ends up being featured too much in the family reality show, I guarantee, it will get me for no more than 2 episodes if that. I have little to no interest in Mayte at this point in life.

Reality show?

I'm speculating, based on evidence presented so far.

Like what??

Mostly the post that Tyka said. It in a thread somewhere below. As well as what Omar posted about not being a part of or something to that effect. And the swirling rumors.

What about his penis size, how he liked 3somes, doing it on all the furniture, how he liked to watch girl on girl, how he was like a woman in bed.....do you draw the line there? How can you draw the line on 1 and not the others?

No Mayte didn't take drugs with Prince, she didn't even know if Prince took drugs or not back then. But now when she looks back on things, it started coming together, and there was a possiblity that he was using back then.

Thank you, PennyPurple. I would also like some clarification. I also read a comment on another thread by a very vocal anti-Mayte org member who said "she admires Devin for donating some of her book profits to a charity" (not verbatim)! Ffs, Mayte is doing the exact same thing!! Additionally, this "org member" said how Devin kept the book respectful, classy or some such bs. Hmmmm....how is talking about the size of the man's penis showing any respect? Unfugingbelievable.

I know, I don't get it either. SMH

She was taking pain pills from her doctor and we have no idea if she was abusing them or sharing them. All we know is for a while he seemed happy when she was gone Listen to "She Loves Me For Me"

After a MAJOR surgery which was a C-Section. She wasn't sharing them, as she said they would come up missing....OMG don't even start this again.

Because Devin does not go into any detail. She leaves some mystery and the bulk of the book is about her time in Hollywood, her encounters, and her rough childhood. In addition some of the proceeds go to Yes We Can Code and the book only cost a dollar. A lot of old head fans knew about Devin already.

LOL Did we read the same book? Other than Mayte she goes into detail right at the beginning. That's what I was saying in my previous post. She starts with the sex stuff (an old publisher's advice if you want to get the reader interested) only to later in the book tell us that he couldn't make her climax and that she had never been interested in sex anyway. Yes, abuse might have been the reason for this but then why does she sell her body professionally? And as a minor? That picture with Gene Simmons in that Daily Mail article that was posted here does not show me the shy little girl that she's trying to sell.


There is absolutely no mystery in that book, the mystery to me is just how she can sell it only for a dollar and yet donate? LOL And it is another mystery to me why the price of the print version is 39 bucks? I used to work in publishing, I know a bit. Yes, it is self-publishing, and she knows why. Because no serious publisher would publish it. It is so poorly written, full of contradictions and filler. It is almost ridiculous how many times she repeats things like the "elastic on his pants that went around his heels" - and in places where it makes no sense.


Plus, in the print version you find nothing that hints to the "fact" that proceeds go to any charity or something.


To top it all she tells us that she asked Prince for a sign if it's okay to write a book and he sent an owl LOL If it had at least been a dove, okay but seriously, she wrote the book to advance herself, and this, and only this is the reason for coming with things like the "furniture" adventures.


She also does not humanize him, she writes like he was one of the many who were after her and she adds herself to times in his life where she was not around. Which shows a lot through the book as she always goes back to the Purple Rain times. Cause those were the only times she was in the picture. I talked with others from his life - they've never even heard her name. They all went, Who?


That they "remained friends" is something she claims. Now. I approached her personally about some of the times she claims she was still around and gave her some details. She was very quiet. Yes, that doesn't prove anything but to me, that doesn't matter. The timing, the style, the quality, the contradictions, her reaction - nothing speaks for her.

Compared to hers Mayte's book has class.

Consider the source.

A real lady would never talk that way about her ex-lover, just saying.

.

She probably needs the $$$$$.

An ex-wife who claims to still love her husband (present tense) would never throw her ex under the bus like she did either.
