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 | |

Both trademarks were abandoned just saying that It seems she has been taking his ideas from the beginning and try to make $ off him. I think Soul Sanctuary is actually Sandra St Victor title so it would have not been Prince trademark. Prince did an incomplete job of making sure all his IP was properly trademarked and copyrighted in US and internationally. | |

They are a shameless bunch of opportunists. I really feel badly for Prince. He had nobody around to really look out for him- it sounds as if he could trust no one. | |

One reason not to share anything with people on this thread whether it’s public or not, is because half of you guys take simple ass facts and create these crazy ass theories, conspiracies and don’t comprehend what you’re either told or read. The estate and everyone else is well aware of what’s going on and have been for nearly two years now. You’re just hearing about it. | |

Her song was “Sanctuary.” Prince renamed the song. But the song was for Mayte on the Emancipation album. | |

Soul Sanctuary is what Gamillah trademarked in 2005 and it was abandoned. The under the radar things M2 has been doing all along and acting all humble since his passing just rubs me the wrong way. She is fooling a lot of his fans and donations to her charity have doubled. Peace | |

Glad YOU arent fooled with your insider knowledge! As soon as someone says something negative about Manuela Testolini (in any thread) you appear and jump in ready to fight. How about YOU give some info as a rebuttal to the correct information that has been reported here about her so we can put it to rest. Never mind, I guess you have been too busy with that charity of your own that you told people here to create instead of saying a word about Manuela... I'm no fan of Mayte. Hell no. She has used Prince to make money. However, your fluff about defending Manuela is getting old. It really seems that you are hard pressed on deflecting. Keep in mind that you don't know who people are in this board who juuuust might know a thing or two...js. [Edited 1/21/18 19:40pm] [Edited 1/21/18 19:58pm] | |

I clearly meant she made money off her relationship and continues to do so long after their relationship was finito and you know it. Don't twist my words with an idiom that doesn't fit the context of my post at all. It doesn't help your cause. I know you are trying to get to the bottom of some things that are unquestionably true but when you tell other people to get a clue you need to make sure you have one too. You cannot say with a straight face that Mayte has not profited from being Prince's wife for a nanosecond years ago. C'mon. If you truly want to accomplish what I frankly think is fair, you need to stick to gravitas as opposed to personal feelings. Otherwise,there is a bridge I like to sell you...over there in Brooklyn.

[Edited 1/21/18 20:12pm] No. She hasn’t PROFITED from Prince. She was legitimately married to the man and put her own life at risk having his child. She was also a member of his band and he has called out her name on several of his songs. He made sure the world knew she was the love of his life despite how their marriage ended. She can’t help that people take an interest in her because of her association with him. She will forever be associated with him and mentioned when his life story is told if no other woman is mentioned. You’re saying she should be held at fault because of it? | |

No, I'm not saying that at all. For true and true Prince fans Mayte will always be part of his legacy. That's not Mayte's doing.She didn't create that or make her part of Prince's life, professionally or privately. It was her life at one point. I don't think anyone would argue that. However, she was blocked from publishing the book when she initially intended to. She went on a trashy reality TV show solely to profit off of a marriage that was long over. She tried to sell her ring, his clothes. Why? What was the motivation behind all of this other than money? I don't know Mayte or her life with Prince or her life after other than bits and pieces, I have way more info and knowledge on wife number 2. However, I am not going to give Mayte a carte blanche on anything and everything she has done or tried to do by her association with Prince. [Edited 1/21/18 20:51pm] | |

[Edited 1/21/18 20:51pm] She was never blocked from doing anything. Another lie that floats around like it’s the truth. She wasn’t blocked from writing a block just like none of his other associates or non-associates were blocked. If she made the decision to do a reality show to showcase her life, that’s on her. Prince was rarely mentioned and she has to sell what possessions she wants to sell. Why is that a sin? If I were, I would have had a public bonfire for the hell of it and burned ever piece of clothing he left. Who cares why she decided to sell those things but she had every right to sell them because they were lawfully hers whether you agree or not. Truth is, the only item she was successful at selling were the handcuffs he gave her. All the other items were pulled and still in her possession. | |

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. | |
