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.

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?

I don't care for any of these love affair books, but Devin isn't running around claiming Prince, saying she wrote her book out of love or that he would've been proud and hugged her and ish like that. If Mayte had said, yes, I'm writing a slam book on my ex now that he's dead and can't do ish about it, I would've respected her more. I was one who supported her writing a book when I first heard about it after Prince's death. She claimed she was doing it out of love and it would be respectful, then the contents leaked out and it was all a lie. She lost me for good with this one.

Devin was nothing more than one of Prince's lovers.Around the same time that she was supposedly "seeing" him,he was also seeing Susannah Melvoin,Sheila E. and others.Nothing spectacular about her story.She's simply cashing in on her association with Prince.At least Mayte was married to Prince and had his child.She has a more compelling story to tell,imo (as opposed to Devin's "I-was-Prince's-sex-shooter-for-a-few years,here's-my-story" book).

There was nothing scandalous in Mayte's book, she didn't knock him. She probably could have been a vicious bitch, but she wasn't. So get over it, move on, but if you are outraged at 1 book, then you probably should be outraged at all the others too.

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.

True.

......And, just think of what she probably had edited out of the book.

Exactly!! She is just cashing-in like all the rest of them.

Am I the only one that couldn't care less about the women Prince was with in the mid to late 80s and early 90s? None of these women interest me in the least. Certainly not ones that write books about it.

I care. If it shows us more of Prince. Like I and some others were saying on another thread, I would love to read Robin Powers book, talking about them running around the house playing, stuff she talked about like how he liked to wear tube socks and slide across the floor. That kind of book would be fun to read. It's not about the women really, more just showing us the fun side of Prince.

Ha-ha! Your comment made me chuckle.

Personally, I really don't care, one way or the other, really. I'm not gonna run out and buy their books anyhow.

Nobody knows who you are

And yet they act like they do, come to me for "tea" and share personal things without my permission and without even knowing how they relate to Prince LOL And weren't you the one who asked me if he had a pulse, to support this crazy "he was a vampire" idea? ...

and your wrong about people not knowing who devin is

I can't be wrong when quoting someone else. Doesn't make sense.

because i personally talked to jill jones

Me too. But she was not the one I was referring to about Devin.

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?

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.

Amazon has the paperback for 29.99

It was Robin who was talking about the initimate details, i.e. threesomes, girl on girl in case it wasnt clear. Not Devin and certainly not Mayte.

You can get it on Kindle for a buck because I would not pay 29.99 for it.

PennyPurple said: 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.

It she said the moon was made of blue cheese you would believe it. Mayte was suffering from depression perhaps even post partum I would not be mad at her or Prince if they both were taking something with what they were dealing with at the time however, she acts like it was not his baby and he was supposed to be super human. I never get any compassion from that women about that baby stituation at all. Not too mention how super personal it was and I am really glad he was not around to see this book releashes as I cannot imagine how much this would have hurt him.

Once again you have no idea about anything. Robyn said everything except his penis size and she has not written a book a lot of what she said was sent to people in private org notes.

Devin only said his shoe size had nothing to do with anything with no graphic descriptions. You do not come away from her book knowing anything deeply personal about Prince.

You learn that he liked to have fun and chill out. The only women making his come off as a butthead with females is Mayte because maybe she made him be a butthead with her.

I know Robin said it...we are on the Robin thread....

A lot of what Robin said wasn't in org notes either. It was right here on this very forum. Book or no book, it was right here in print for all to see. She didn't org note me, I seen what she wrote on her thread.

She also did not write a book and put out a person's most upsetting and horrible moments in print for the world to see so she could get a check. What portrait of Prince do you think he would have more of a problem with some ex-girlfriend talking about all the fun they had or some ex-wife cashing in on their child's death.

Most fans want to hear the fun side not the depressing stuff that Mayte is selling and trying to make Prince's whole life as one sad sack party. We all have bad times and we all learn to cope and move on instead of writting a book Mayte needs to get to a thearispt which is what most right thinking people would do.

I cannot imgine an ex-wife that simply will not go away. Next she will be saying he murdered her soul like Steve Harvey's ex-wife.

____ actually RP said he had 7 inches with nice thickness. Go back and check some of those Artpal threads.

I may have missed some part of the topic back then but so what she is not making him look bad and I doubt most guys would be upset about the ladies praising their bedroom skills. The point is Prince had a whole life before Mayte came along and after she left he was not the sad sack she made him out to be. I suspect she may been a little bit of the problem.

I hear you. But I think people are being too hard on MG.

Did she not bring it all on herself. No one forced her to write that book and she takes no responsibilty for any of her actions which really does not help garner any sympathy for her.

I hear that too. The way she wrote the book, the narrative voice she uses, she really does want their life to read like a tragic fairytale. Not the most mature thing but their whole relationship was a fantasy that Prince capped her head up with, so I expected as much. She was also more reflective Than I thought she would be. Still, I could tell there were deliberate gaps.

The gaps are her not telling on herself but to be fair so many autobios are like that now a days. People are too chickenshit to be real about their own mistakes which are the only mistakes you can correct in life.

I didn't want her to org note me. She said she would share more in org notes and if you want more info to org note her, I didn't want more info. Evidently you wanted the dirt.

Once again you have no idea how Robyn was run off of this board. I just reached out to her and we had an exchange. I did not think she should have been run off in the first place.

She had no dirt to tell as I do not think consenting adults are doing dirt if they are doing what consenting adults actually do. Some people live in the real world not fairy tale land.

Robyn talked about a fun, happy go lucky fellow that she had a fling with. Unlike some people she did not delude herself about him and she moved on with her life.
