Kirk Johnson: Judith Hill Was Not Prince's Girlfriend

When asked by the authorities, "Who is Judith Hill?" he responded, "A singer." When they asked him point blank, a bit later, if Judith was Prince's girlfriend, Kirk replied as follows: "No she's just an artist of his. A singer." The full interview transcript can be found at the link below.

Well, he also said that he didn't know about Prince's drug addiction, but I'm pretty sure he's lying.

What would be his motivation to lie about the nature of P's relationship with JH? Besides which, he's not the first insider to cast doubt on Judith's girlfriend claim. Both Kiran and Damaris were publicly upset on social media when her claims were first reported in the New York Times.

I thought she may have actually been dating him but after reading her interview,I started questioning some things. He also talked to Natalya the most from the way it looks, though they seem to have been just very good friends.I had also read before that Judith was dating Kirk,not Prince but that wasn't confirmed.With everything that's come out who knows? I'm a bit surprised that the Star Tribune did a story on this though.

I never thought that JH and Prince were dating...and her interview (and Kirk's) confirmed it for me. BTW, the Star Tribune didn't do an actual story on Prince and JH. The article linked is the transcript of Kirk's police interview transcript, from which I extracted my headline.

Ah ok. I used up my freebies for the month so I couldn't see the article.

How can you believe anything that he says at this point?

Yeah, I don't believe anything he says. Maybe he's protecting Prince with some of his lies, but he's obviously protecting himself too. Maybe he didn't want to get JH mixed up in any of this so he said she's just a singer.

Or...maybe she was really just a singer (and associate) to P. Besides, she was on the plane that made the emergency landing. You can't get any more "mixed up" in the situation than that.

Also, I read her transcript very carefully. She says that Prince called her the day before the Atlanta concert and invited her to come to the show. She says that she flew in...after which she checked into her hotel. If she were really his girlfriend, wouldn't she have gone directly to her man? I had heard previously that she stayed at a hotel when she was at Paisley working on her album, so this account is right in line with that. Moreover, when the police asked her which side of the bed Prince slept on, that question seemed to really throw her for a loop. After floundering for a bit, she finally said the side closest to the bathroom. The more I think about it, that seems like a strange and pointed question. And, IMHO, it was a strange exchange.
