I thought of Meron too.She described them as "Afro-centric hipster cool jazzy young women."She said they were in the bathroom smoking some weed.She also said it wasn't normal for him to have people like them around.I also thought of Mikala Love but I don't think she was still around in 2016. | |

She doesn't come across that way to me but some of the other girls around him do.Mikala definitely does and she did smoke weed but not sure she was still around. | |

But could Damaris could have associated. Her and Meron would hang out. Anyhow, it is not up to Jill to decide who Prince's friends were to be as if he would have been better off with her friendship. Some later friends tried to get him the help he needed. This is my normal life. These marital standards cannot be recreated with money. | |

That's true.Jill also hadn't been around for awhile and wasn't aware he had young women like that around him the last few years,starting with Chelsea Rodgers. | |

Tamron Hall said she talked to him every-single-day so . . . I think he had friends. Yes, but it’s not the same as having people there. Prince needed human touch. And hugs. And love. Do you think anyone was there to give him that? I think Kirk gave him love and companionship. | |

He was tired and ready to go . . . he went on his own terms what was of value to him was not on this earth any longer. I think Prince always had friendships/relationships but not as deep as these women and the media and associates want to think. Reading about them and what these women say it was wash-rinse-repeat. They took as more - he sounds like the Great Romantic. . I will always believe there was public Prince/private Prince/secret Prince. These women got public/private. . Just my opinion . Well he was a “G”. He had Damaris around him too, for the muse thing still, and to share clothes and makeup with. | |

During the P&M shows he seemed to be reflecting on love lost and failed relationships and he seemed almost melancholy at times.He also often mentioned the movie The Way We Were.He didn't talk like he did when he was in a seemingly happy relationship I agree. I feel that he always grieved through his music and he was grieving his last situation, plus other one’s still a little bit, and that he was in a space where he was in between his last and future romances. I truly feel another he passed before the next one came. | |

1990
I used to think that Prince and I would have been friends during the duration, during our whole lives. Because we had a really strong friendship... You can be with people for 10, 12 years, it's phases of your life, you just close the book and you just put it on the shelf. So, it's so bizarre when people ask anything about him, it was just a phase in my life. It's nothing in particular, it's just my point of view of certain phase in my life. It's always in retrospect. I used to say, when I got older, if I was on the Swiss Alps and I was milking cows, there would be somebody that would come across the hill that asked about Prince! The second album... My mother passed away in '95. When she was diagnosed in cancer in '94, I had a deal with London Records. Steve Fargnoli hooked me up with them. My contract expired with Prince in 1993 on April 15... which I remember because it was seven years to the day. When my mom passed...I didn't want to sing. I don't think I handled it as professionally as I should have. I wrote a letter to my manager that said “You're just too busy going through the corporate world, because you don't know what the fuck you're doing.” And I faxed it. And we were dropped... I (later) recorded (the album Two) with Chris Bruce and it was cathartic. I had a new boyfriend at the time and that was a nightmare. (I) just had to get it all out. That record came and it was supposed to come. (The song) "Gorgeous Wonder" is about my daughter and she just saved me in so many ways. I just ended up going into interior design through friends. It was very trying and tricky. I remember (one time) that I was bartending and the RZA (from the Wu-Tang Clan) came in and said “you're Jill Jones” and I was like “No, I don't understand” and I pretended like I was French. Don't let your pride swallow you up...because that is a mistake. Everything's fixable and your good friends would never make you feel bad about it...
Ten years. Ten Years (emphasis added). Wasted. Yeah, ten years wasted. And I don't think fondly of these ten years, the ten years that I'm thinking of... But, I got a good song out of it.
I want to know how to stop over analyzing and to kind of just not take things so personally anymore.
http://beautifulnightschitown.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-question-of-u-jill-jones-talks-2.html Wouldn’t it be 1993 since that is when her contract with Prince expired? Either way, I know they had a strong friendship and sometimes you can know someone so well and who they are even years later, to some degree, like what they are like, but it does seem she didn’t see him for years before he passed. | |

She said in one of her interviews she visited him at his home in Paris. I suspect it was passed 1990. We recently found out hecwas with Denise doing Batman period. We really do not know who Prince was communicating with or for how long. | |

In Jill's other FB post we were discussing, she said she and the other ladies decided at Denise's memorial that they were going to take turns going to Minnesota to take care of him and feed him to help him gain some weight.She said that she thought he looked gaunt.Apollonia posted on the morning of the 21st that she was making arrangements with Prince's manager to fly out.It looks like they were very concerned about him and were trying to help. | |

. I think her comment was referring to certain people that Prince had in his life that did not really care about him. Maybe he was beginning to learn who were his true friends? . I think Prince was still evolving and growing as a person; we never stop growing/changing. I don't believe he wanted to die, so I have to agree with Apples.
