. I guess pre-meditation isn't considered stalking. When she was a young girl, she said she would marry Prince. That's a bit odd, in my book and kind of stalk-ish behavior. . M2 was working for Prince, so I don't see that as stalking. Maybe she had a fascination with him, I guess. What girl wouldn't?

hmmmm yes, i think amethyst, is saying that it seems like her parents kinda directed her in his direction, that the parents were perhaps the groupies and leaned a little to hard in his direction. there was a performance background in the family and she had been on tv, so some guiding of her potential stardom, more than stalking, it seems. it seems that the other one's behavior was more methodical, the long con. but both angles worked for a while. he never veered to far from script so it would have been easy to con him a bit. as someone said on another thread if you were pretty you were half way there ( i would say over half way, 3/4?) | |

Just to correct you regarding the second wife, she is well know to have stalked Prince. Who do you know graduates from college and leaves TORONTO to go to Minneapolis to sell Prince concert memorabilia? | |

. Yes, I am familar with the M2 story. She was a Prince fanatic and he loved the attention. It's odd circumstances to meet someone under and end up marrying them, but Prince was no ordinary guy.

Oh, my goodness, when I was 15 yrs old, I was convinced I was going to marry Kirk Hammett of Metallica (don't ask, I have no idea...). Then, I happened to meet him when I was 32 and within a second regressed to that 15-year old girl for a moment. The embarrassment...ugh. Mayte's age when meeting Prince paid a big role as did her parents' somewhat sick desire to live through her and benefit financially. Manuela on the other hand, was a fully grown adult who concocted a plan and went for it full force from 1997 on. She transformed her looks, ideology, religious beliefs (she didn't have a religious upbringing) and molded herself into what she had studied for years by that point. None of her shtick is authentic except the smug look on her face she never seems to be able to conceal even to this day. Was she an actual stalker...uhmm, that's a push, though. Let's just say she came up with a plan and was going to execute it no matter what. The timing was in her favor. Normally, when a couple decides to marry, the idea of starting/not starting a family is being discussed. There's no evidence of Prince having anything genetically wrong with him that resulted in the loss of a child and one early pregnancy with Mayte. So "his defective genes" argument is quite far fetched and sounds more like trolling than anything else. [Edited 12/14/17 20:33pm] | |

I agree with you Laura that Prince never stalked or, frankly, even pursued Mayte. He didn't have to. She was practically offered to him on a platter and I don't think she was ever "put on a pedestal" over the other ones as she wants the story to go. For whatever reason Prince wanted to hurt Nona and got engaged to Mayte who promptly got pregnant. I think Carmen Electra left because she was done and wanted to move on. I believe that's where Mayte's antipathy towards Carmen stems from. I'm not saying he didn't love Mayte at some point. I'm sure he did and was looking forward being a dad to their child but it wasn't the love story she wants to portray. It started strangely, it seemed strange and it ended strangely.

Here is more proof about the surgery from the Ebony editor who set up the interview. I guess the editor, the writer, Ebony, Tavis and Billy are all lying about the surgery. Even Morris Day said he had hip replacement surgery and that he spoke to Prince about it. Do you really think all of these people are making this up?
Hip surgery confirmation Replying to @FutureSoul1 @Gerbara5758
Seems like yesterday when I planted the seed for this story to happen. Prince wouldn't have ever done this had it not been for Tavis making the ask. Believe that!! He was just recovering from hip surgery as well. Bless his heart.

Yah! He basically was calling her every night when she was 15 - 16 yrs old.... | |

Why did you add "15" in there? Did she say 15? Did she say every night? As for stalking, no one has to answer a phone. Thank Jesus that Prince had self restraint because I, for one, would never let my 16 year old daughter spend that much time with a 35 year old rock musician known for sexual lyrics and womainzing ways. Her parents irk the fuck out of me. Prince may have been wrong, but they were worse in my opinion. the reality is that rock stars are constantly approached by young girls. Many of thewse guys do not show restraint. David Bowie and Jimmy Page fucked a 14 year old groupie for God's sake (and they aren't the only ones or the worst of the bunch) . What the hell were her parents thinking (let me guess--possible fame) ? They are lucky their daughter wasn't raped at 16.

She was not 15 and she was going to come and work for him when she got out of school. So of course he would have stayed in touch with her. Even Mayte has said their calls were innocent and that he did not lay a hand on her until she was in her 20s.
You are making a rockstar with a gang of girlfriends pressed for Mayte. It is funny because Mavis Staples said he was really crazy about Carmen Electra. Who was more interested in her carreer then being with him so I really think Mayte got him by default. She was his back up chick.

Co-sign Prince was talking to her on the phone which may not have been ethical but he was dating her since she lived in Germany with her family. Her parents are pathetic and even what she said about her and her sister being molested makes me question how much about that her parents knew about.
Normal parents do not introduced a teen girl to a rock star and certainly do not let her talk to 30 something on phone.
If she just went and worked for Prince on her own when she was 18 then fine but those parents of hers knew exactly what they were doing. Just think there is no reason Mayte could not have just gone to college even if just to study dance. Instead her parents packed her off to work for a rock star. | |

i can't even believe it either. in his hotel that night too, that she describes, that late at night having tea, still not OK. Some people say bravo to their kids when they display maturity beyond their years.
i don't think that is praise that is always should be pushed further, you are in essence hurrying them on out of childhood from which we can never return. so great she displayed maturity and competence but that doesn't mean your reward that with adult activity. If we are all allowed to be kids as long as possible we would have much more secure adults. but we want them to walk early and read by 3 because why???? they should be playing in the dirt for as long as possible because once you engage and ripen maturity there is no turning back to the imagination and creativity that comes from the flow of simple play. Society robs kids of childhood it should be held a crime. | |

What was Prince's motive? Love? artistic inspiration? Sex (he waited an awful long time for that one.)?? mid-life crisis? Really, how does Mayte's belly dancing contribute at all to Prince's career or music? What was their motivation?--possible fame for daughter extending to themselves, living vicariously through her, success for her..etc?
I don't think she sees her time with him as being pawned off.. She says she would still be with him if it weren't for the baby dying. If she is to be believed, his dumping her and cheating on her were bigger issues than his calling her at 16. It depends a little on what they talked about. If it was as innocent as she claimed and then her parents stepped in and said, "hey, this might be innocent, but I think you are too young to engage in working for him right now. Wait until after you go to college"... and he still pursued her afterward, I would think that might have let to a more successful relationship (or no relationship at all but either way healthier.) To be honest, her childhood seemed stolen with or without Prince. Bellydancing professionally in Cairo at her age driven by a stage-mom (who had once been a belly dancer), molestation, warring parents. ,...her childhood was doomed. Who knows..maybe Prince was more fun (for at least a little while) than her mom so it didn't bother her too much to go off with his entourage and work at what she loved. It wasn't all bad presumably.
