She just can not get enough attention...why didn't she post these "the sweet loving time we spent together" photos while he was alive? Obviously her current husband is fine with it, so why wait until he is dead, if that is how she really feel?.. Or did she just remember how much beauty they shared. Out of all of them, she is by far the most annoying...would be great if Eric got done with her as well, most men would not be cool with all her creepy pining for her ex

When Prince was still alive she was selling his piano on Craigslist- yes, CRAIGSLIST- like it didn't mena shit and posting comments about how she was waiting on him to go off like Charlie Sheen, and a whole bunch of other stuff... which is why I say I'm confursed.

Sure she was respectful of P not celebrating his birthday.

M2 didnt celebrate either when she converted to JW and then quickly left after the divorce.

This ex is a slick one.

M1 and M2 need to quit.

Both are desperate for attention.

There is a reason he left both these women behind and didnt look back.

man...someone needs a hug and a life.
And it's not other of those ladies.

I dont need a hug any longer.

I got one from your Dad tonight.

She posted a few challenging things like Prince should explain his stance on gay marriage (not sure she has room to talk consideirng her JW following while with him) and that was kind of irritating but not completely off the mark. Maybe it did him some good to hear/read people calling him out for referencing Sodom and Gommorrah the way he did. The other thing she posted was not 'waiting' for him to go off like Charlie sheen but rather that she hoped the same thing didn't happen to him due to the enablers. Dhe had been an enabler herself at one point. But she also wasn't totally wrong with that post. Prince and she were still going through divorce proceedings during that time but she still stated that he was a friend she was concerned about when people called her out on her Charlie Sheen quote.

That is the worse she got. Unlike Mayte, who wrote an entire booking outing Prince on his very flaw and then rarely admitting that she had any flaws. If Manuela ever wrote a book about P, at the very least, she would have to admit her flaws because Mayte already has mentioned them as if she didn't take up with Prince when he was with other women herself.++.

As for Manuela, she plays piano herself. Perhaps, it was one he bought for her. I noticed she seemed to have kept quite a few candid pictures of Prince.

She don't need to call out anything because she followed the teachings at one time. She should explain that and why she did not follow the teachings after their marriage ended. I am sure she was not worrying about "enablers" when she was asking for a whole lot of money to maintain her lifestyle. Look who she is married to now but she wants to call out Prince's faults and business. I am not buying her nonsense. The picture she posted is very lovely.

Posting a photo on instagram on his birthday is looking for attention?

To this rabid pack of haters and jealous fanatics?
yep.

I know. Man, she comes across so much like she's trying to be slick. I've never liked her but sometimes I think I could be wrong. But you're right- she should just say it. I still think she's going to be releasing a coffee table book of photos like this of she and Prince. We'll see...

I would look forward to that. But please, no cryptic quotes next to each photo. Just truly loving and authentic. This has been QUITE a year. Much more will come out in the coming one!

Me too! That is a book I would buy and have on my coffee table Every time she posts one of these personal pics (which her current husband "hearted" btw on Instagram) I think it's a lead up to the coffee table book...

There were many pictures of Prince and Mayte together. There were also many videos made that has Mayte in them. Prince also wrote many songs about Mayte. I think someone hit the nail on the head when they said he loved the one he was with - until the next one came along. In the end - I think he was terrible to Mayte. When he was making the "Septimo" video @ PP - Mayte was almost in tears. I believe it was said that was the last time she was on stage with Prince.

[Edited 6/9/17 19:12pm]

[Edited 6/9/17 19:32pm]

I think you are oversimplifying this relationship with Mayte a bit there.. you are leaving out the loss of a child and his pretty zealous religious conversion that probably resulted from it. Those things would put a strain on any relationship. I don't think he just got tired of Mayte one day. I think the loss drove them apart partly due to different ways of coping, differing religious beliefs, mistrust (Prince bonding with other women, Prince suspecting his mom-in-law of using him for money) and Prince's sense of order/control being shaken to its core.

Theirs seemed to be an oddball relationship based on its own idiosyncratic rituals, rules and even delusions--one they both willingly entered into. Then real life came and threw it into disarray. Maybe, Prince wasn't strong enough for real life or a shattered delusion. But I don't think he just callously threw all the women in his life around. I don't even think Mayte thinks that;. I think it was a painful process for both of them.

Regarding the supposed lack of candids/non-work photos of Prince and Mayte, remember he literally burned everything that reminded him of their personal relationship - to the point that she only has one photo of herself pregnant. If we rarely see any it's most likely because he destroyed them, not because none were taken.

She probably took some pictures with her before that happened.. Plus, the house in Spain would have had some pictures left in it.

She might have more pictures than we realize but doesn't want to show them. Mayte and Prince had a working relationship as well as a personal one. Manuela's pictures are all just personal ones.

I’m going to play devils advocate…or at least introduce alternative viewpoints on Mani/Eric and the whole JW conversion criticism. (I don’t know either of these people.)

.

Maybe Eric is secure in his own manhood and the strength their marriage and doesn’t feel threatened by Mani posting pictures of her past with Prince (who is no longer with us, nor a threat to the relationship). We all love seeing pictures of P, so what’s the harm, why criticize her/Eric/them? Just enjoy the pictures.

.

I can’t speak to P’s religious conversion, that’s a whole other topic. But I will speculate about her conversion to and away from JW by sharing a story of a friend of mine, (or rather her aunt who I’ll call Mary). Mary met a wonderful man, Stan (not real name). They fell in love and got married; however the condition of marriage was she had to convert to his religion. She did so whole heartedly, because she loved him so much. But our roots pertaining to God and spirituality run deep, for most people at least. After the first few years, Mary was sneaking out (dramatically speaking) and going to Mass in another town, she felt guilty because she had renounced her religion and could no longer take communion. Martial infidelity spiritually speaking?

.

I could go on… but you get the picture. The marriage fell apart and they divorced. When you ask someone to believe something that is not in their heart, even if they do so with the purest intentions at the end of the day it ususally doesn’t work. So I would not criticize Mani not staying a JW.

I think the problem people have with Manuella is that this is not exactly the case. She (according to Mayte's book) jumped on the JW bandwagon BEFORE she and Prince were officially an item and when he was a married man because she knew that was what he was into. And then she abandoned the religion when it no longer suited her. So the whole thing looks contrived and she looks like a sneaky snake.

Maybe she did convert knowing she could snag him doing so, but if that is the case, then she must have known that Mayte and Prince were on the outs. In my opinion, Larry Graham and Prince's JW beliefs were a bigger threat to Mayte than any one woman would be. We don't know Manuela's feelings about Prince. Its easy to assume that she was using him for his fame and money. She was a fan but she may have also been controlled by an infatuation, even a love. People say that Prince was his music. Well, her being a fan of his music doesn't mean she didn't at least temporarily love the man. As for her greed, we know Prince thought she was greedy because of the way he cut her off from the finance (and some of the divorce papers) but PRince was an especially suspicious man. All i know is that People have multiple contrasting and complicated motives for the things they do. She is a human being too and she and Prince seemed geniunely happy for a short while. So, there must have been something there beyond opportunism. Mayte acting like her love for PRince was a pure as the driven snow gets on my nerves. You can't tell me that his fame and connections didn't at least play a part in her infatuation with PRince...also, he was with other women when she (and her parents) allowed him to be a part of her life romantically. I am not being cynical because I think that you can love someone and use them at the same time (one doesn't necessarily outrule the other one). But i guess you can also completely use someone as well (but unless we look into someone's heart or get to know them we will never know where one ends and the other begins.)

All that being said, I don't think any relationship Prince had was the equivalent of Trump and Melania. Prince was too attractive, charming and talented and his girlfriends/wives were too accomplished, charismatic and unique for that to be the case.

There is something desperately wrong with this woman! Prince would never approve of her posting pictures of them together....BECAUSE THEY ARE DIVORCED AND SHE IS MARRIED! Manuela, what is it your trying to prove? Prince fans know you two were married we, well most don't admire you. What dummy wants to be married to such a control freak, money or no money?! You are married girl have some respect not only your husband but your kids. You don't be posting pictures of yourself with your ex while your married to your childrens father.

Mani got what she wanted out of Prince, then she divorced him. She was never there for the long-term.

IKR? How does telling the truth/facts have anything to do with a stalker?

Bottom line is, M1 and M2 both used Prince. We can sit here and compare M1 with M2 until the cow's come home, but when people get divorced, it's usually for good reason. M1 and M2 both got what they wanted from Prince.

rogifan said:

Why is Mani wrong for posting a photo of her and Prince on instagram on his birthday? Is she supposed to forget he ever existed because she's married to someone else now? Mani posting an instagram photo is wrong but Mayte selling a book which includes intimate details of her marriage to Prince and the loss of their child is ok?

Because, Prince clearly wanted nothing to do with her after they split up. Why didn't she publsih all of these when he was alive?

She comes across as wanting to be known and cryptically post personal pictures probably with the intention of telling people she has a certain value in the Prince's world.
