She is and clearly has been nothing but a blatant opportunists from the start with Prince. It bothers me how people close to him or people who supposedly support Prince (photographers, family, etc) support her as if she was such a great addition to Prince's life. I am an outsider looking in everytime I try not to think negatively something else shady shows up. It reeks and shows nothing positive. It makes me sad for Prince and he is not on earth anymore - it is just sad.

This is not the first time she has tried to trademark his ideas...in 2005 when she started her company Gamillah (Weren’t they separated at the time?) she trademarked “Soul Sanctuary” from the 1996 2nd Emancipation CD and also “Lotus Flower”. According to Prince Vault recording for some songs that were included on the Lotusflow3r CD released in 2009 were recorded in 2004. I doubt Prince knew what she was doing. All of this very very sad

I never want to see another pic of her in anyone's book loved up with Prince again.She was a user- manipulated and misrepped herself and Prince fell for the con. It is so clear she was not about the man but the come-up she could get from him. People are known by their actions- not what they say and not pretty pics. Poor, poor Prince.

Why did she have the book published AFTER Prince's death? SHE herself admitted on Hollywood exes that she is not allowed to talk about Prince. You are reaching wayyyy too hard. I'm sorry but you are becoming less and less believable. Nobody with an iota of intelligence is buying what you are trying to sell right now. You have not successfully answered anything I asked you. It's too bad you feel the need to deny facts as there are enough things out there for you to make legit arguments yet you create a story that you and everyone else knows is not true. I'm not going to engage in further discussion about this as it seems to be an excercise in futility.

How many times does it need to be said that she began work on the book a year or so before he died? I don’t even think it was a year. I recall reading an article about an upcoming book in June 2015. She has said it in almost every interview she’s done since her book was released. What about that is difficult for you to comprehend? Also, you say you don’t know much about Mayte but you sure as heck have a lot of opinions about someone you know nothing about. Rather than judging, perhaps you should sit back and listen.

Do you honestly think he would not have sued her ass out of exsistence if she had put that book out when he was alive?

With the exception of the death of her son and their marriage she cannot prove much of what she

states in the book and he would have had a good case of defamation.

She may have started working on before he died but she waited to put it out on the anniversary of his death which is beyond crass.

People are judging her based on her actions and if she does not want to be judged then she would have kept on mouth closed about her personal life in the first place.

Has one penny of her bellydancing and book profits been donated to any charitable causes? How about the birth defect her son died from?

Isn't it exhaustive to always put her down? She had every right to write This book and if Prince would've stopped her, it would've been because he was a controll freak. Mayte didn't write a thing that damaged his legacy.

Nothing exhaustive about the truth. Because you have a right to do something does not mean you should or maybe you should just write about yourself and not try to interpret someone's else feelings or thoughts from 20 years ago.

He could have sued her for defamation because she is saying things that defame him and that she cannot prove. He was a private person and anyone who thinks he would have been okay with her discussing his dead son and what his feelings were about it is being delusional.

Yes, he was a control freek but what sane person is not when it is your life. In addtion, look at the crooks and scammers that came out of the woodwork since he died.

A bunch of associates and so-called friends who have been riding the purple gravey train since he died to get paid. He should have been more of a control freak

Just amazingly coincidental that she had 17 years to write this book but she doesn't start until a year before Prince's death then it comes out very soon afterwards. Just amazingly coincidental!

Most of what she has said in her book is substantiated by Prince himself. He did beaucoup interviews during most of their relationship and spoke of her constantly. Sweetheart, don’t worry about what she does with any money earned from her book sales. She doesn’t owe you or anyone else an explanation about how much she earned or what she did with the money earned.

I never said she owed me an explanation for anything. In fact I do not give a hell about what she does with the money. I am poiniting out a fact. Deal with it. You seem much more concerned about her rep then she does which is odd.

Prince never said he an interview that he overdosed on wine and aspirian. He never told the public he had migraine headaches, he certainly never told the public when time and date that she lost virginity to him. He never discussed his feelings about his child dying or his reaction when the child was born. I am takling about personal things that were not known by the public because he knew enough to keep his mouth shut about his personal business.

If she wrote a book just about herself do you think any publisher would be interested. She has peddeled his personal business and their death of their son to make a dollar and that is all it is really about. Nothing more or nothing less. Pretending that it is something else and calling anyone who disagrees a hater will not change anything.

Prince put himself in that predicament with Manuela. Any fool could tell what she was about. But I’ll give him a pass considering her was in avulnerable state of mind. She’s a lunatic.

She may have showed him a different side and fooled him or who knows he may have had her number somewhat because it appears that were separated for a bit in 2002 as we know she was living in a different residence.

If you're talking about the OD she's writing about, it wasn't even a secret. It was in the press. It's not her fault that he might have had a problem with pain Killers, and if there's a thing that damaged his legacy, it's the rumor that he was an addict. And if He wasn't and was ill with Something and His Family keeps them rumors Up, it's more damaging than Mayte's book. [Edited 1/22/18 6:10am]

It was in the National Enquier and it was said by the two nannies who also were blackmailing him by threating to sell pictures of his son to the tabloid media. Are you believing what these two blackmailers had to say?

It is damaging to not put his private health file out to the public? . Okay you think about that for a minute and I will notice how you ignore all the other personal stuff she could have keep quiet about since it was not her life that was being exposed.

The facts are out there if only you looked for it. No one, especially me, has any reason to make up stories. I guess that’s what you’re used to seeing. There are several sources but this is one just shared with me. Look at the last 3 pages of the document http://www.mncourts.gov/m...6,-and.pdf

Were these Exhibits recently unsealed?

I dont remember seeing these before.

The Exhibit is an email dated September 1, 2016.

It states the issues surrounding the charity is complex and the records sparse.

In November 1996 a non-profit corporation was created named Love for One Another Charities.

The Directors of the Corporation were P, M1 and Kirk.

They cannot find documents that shows this was ever modified.

In 2008 an attorney created L4OA LLC under the Corporation.

Cousins is listed on some of the LLC documents as Manager.

It states the Love for One Another Charities was run properly until 2007.

Then crazy things happened.

$8.2 mil was transferred from one account to another account.

The new account listed Cousin's Florida address.

The tax exempt status was revoked in 2012 for non-filing of income tax returns.

The sole assets of the Corporation are 3 parcels of property.

They had requested the 70 boxes from Cousins.

What happened to the $8.2 mil?

20 years ago Mayte was in charge of something. That's nice. But it's 2018 today. And there are current post that are claiming she is STILL in charge. That's the part I want proof on. None of the paperwork dated in the 2000s shows Mayte's name anywhere. So, uh...I'm not convinced folks know what they are talking about and they're just expressing personal feelings and wishes. Which all good for them, I guess, but I'm not jumping on any bandwagons based on somebody's personal feelings and wishes.

Mayte had the chance to totally wreck him! Don't forget how he treated her! Think about it and be thankful that she's not a bitter woman who takes the chance to wreck him in a book. This book was not a tell all, I don't know where you get your infos from, probably LSA, right? I read the book and there was NOTHING exploiting about it!

And it was her son too! She gave birth to him! She had to back down 'cause Prince didn't trust the doctors, she played his game to make him happy! And I don't give a fuck if Prince decided not to talk about his son, he decided for himself! He had no right to tell her to shut her mouth. It's not his son only! Do you even understand what a woman feels if she loses her child? And how she feels if she has to act like it didn't happen at all? It's like the child dies over and over again!

She had to go through so much and now you dare to judge her for a beautiful book about HER TIME with Prince and THEIR CHILD.

She had the chance to totally blast him, but she didn't. Besides the PR Era Studio Sessions, it's probably the best book about Prince.

I doubt that you really read it, because you're talking so much crap about it that's not even the truth. You're only telling your truth, the one that only exists in your head, 'cause the hate you feel towards this woman would eat you up if you wouldn't always write it down.

No one said it was not her baby. You would actually think that would make her more respectful. That is one of the things I cannot figure out.

Why use a tradegy to make money.

It is not about trusting doctors she said they prayed on it and decided to go forward with the pregnacy. You realize that test can endanger a child's life and their would have been nothing todo but to go forward with the pregnacy or terminate. I am certain if he went home and prayed on it he had decided to handle whatever the lord was giving him. I keep wondering about her faith.

I doubt he told her to shut up about anything. It was one thing to speak to family and friends and quite another to be on T.V discussing it with the world. I am not sure how that helps someone heal.

Everything I have pointed out is factual. She discussed a lot of personal things about their relationship that he never shared with the public and health info about him. I just do not think it was cool and that is my opinion. We have to agree to disagree.

Oh I forgot. The family cannot sue Mayte because she is not defaming them and estates cannot sue for defamation. Does it makes sense now why the book was published after he died?

Did you miss the link to communications with Orinces attorneys from 2016 or was that hard for you to understand? The estate attorneys just reviewed their divorce records on top of that to make sure there was nothing in them preventing her from being involved.
