coldcoffeeandcocacola said: I actually enjoyed this book - I seem to be in the minority. I don’t know I believe she was present when baby was born but I do believe she was there when poor mayte was on bed rest. I could be wrong and she was there when little one came, I don’t know, I certainly wasn't there. I wish some of the teasers at the end had been expanded on. There is plenty of prince being a dick in there. That’s important as he wasn’t a god he was a human and I think most of us are the not so good way than the other most of the time! The contrast between how she speaks of m1 and m2 is fascinatingly blunt. M2 I’m surprised at I have to say. That incident was cold. Wouldn’t you be grateful to even be provided with that kind of service in that situation? You’d have to read the book to know what I mean don’t think I’m allowed to write anything copyright infringing. [Edited 4/26/19 17:23pm] Yeah. I believe she was present too at the birth. It's not so farfetched especially given the lifestyle. There wouldn't have ever been a reason for Prince to expose her presence to the world if all she did was his hair once in a while. As far as Mani goes maybe she was trying to practice the Monique method of staff hiring, If she ain't 60 , with one eye and a limp she gotta go. Idk, you know that relationship is going to be in the next books IF they come out Time keeps on slipping into the future...

This was before she said it would be three volumes. She didn't announce that until right before the book's release. I was looking at the People of Paisley Park site last night and came across a story where it was mentioned that his light up shoes were inspired by a pair that Kim's daughter wore so I guess that was what she was referring to in the interview. | |

Yea! I remember her saying that. Kim has a LOT of stories like that about Prince(r.i.p.) she reveals so much in her interviews about him. I've already heard two radio interviews she did promoting her book. The other day another popular DJ was trying to get her on the her show. "That mountain top situation is not really what it's all cracked up 2 B when was doing the Purple Rain tour had a lot of people who knew 'll never c again @ the concerts.just screamin n places they thought they was suppose 2 scream." | |

Yeah,I hadn't heard her talk about that one before. I've heard some of her recent interviews and she didn't tell any stories on those,just mainly her background and how she came to work for Prince. | |

Oh ok. The two radio interviews I listened to were with Shelley Wade and Dominique Di Prima and she discussed the same things as she has in her interviews concerning meeting him and coming into the camp. She also talked about the difficulty of getting into the union for movies and tv work.She said that Katt wanted her to be his stylist for Two Minutes of Fame and that she was still working with him and at her salon on La Brea. | |

Yes! It is VERY difficult to get into the union. That's why I TREASURE my own union membership so much. I remember It was one of the PROUDEST moments of my life when I went to the orientation that day.
On the DJ that's trying to get Kim on. She's a BIG Prince fan! Plus an up & coming actress that was on a very popular tv show recently. So it would be wise for Kim to accept this interview to help her book sells.

I got the book and I am looking forward to read it. Kim seem like one of those realist chicks and I loved read books of people who show our idols human side not their God status.
I had issues with her by doing gross things of trying to sell Prince's comb and hair, but she still was there. Prince's biographers wrote stories about Prince and they were getting their information from others who were there. | |

Looks like Mayte may need to put out a sequel to either deny or affirm these statements by Kim. | |

I see! Congrats! Yes,she said that she was working non union jobs at the moment but that Katt insisted she be his stylist for the movie. I'm wondering who the DJ is that your hinting about. She didn't do too many interviews before the book release and none now that it's out so that would be good to help sales,I agree. I enjoyed the recent ones that she did. | |

Kim said during one of her FB streams from the Celebration that she's still planning to release the hair care line that she said she and Prince were working on and mentioned the glitter they would use for the concerts while showing a bit of 'Prince Live On The Big Screen' She said their own line would be included in with the hair care products. I was wondering what was going on with the hair care line since she hadn't mentioned it in a while. | |

Thanks!
I don't want to mention the Dj's name, because Kim has some real hardcore haters on here. I feel they may try to sabotage it for her.

You're welcome! Ah ok. Hopefully it will work out with the interview and she will share some more stories that weren't included in the book as she did during her FB streams. | |

. Honestly, how can you believe someone who starts her book with a blatant lie already on the front cover? And while it's true Prince could be a dick sometimes, can you honestly believe that while he was in the hospital with his dying son, he was having a laugh with his hairdresser and said to her "quit making me laugh when I'm trying to be serious"?

Prince was such a dick that he gave Kim a job as his personal hairdresser when she was fresh out of school -- he had already done 3 films, won an academy award, grammies, released many albums such as 1999, Purple Rain, Diamonds and Pearls, Graffiti Bridge, Parade, yet he took a chance on her, eventually even helping her start her own business. She claims Prince always dismissed his women, but even a casual Prince fan knows that isn't true. Vanity left him and chose not to take the lead in Purple Rain -- she left because she wanted more money (being an A list actress and all); never mind that Prince financed the film personally, pitched the film to Warners, and could have lost his money had it not been picked up. Would Sheila E agree that she was dismissed, having worked with Prince years after they ended their romantic relationship; Devin Devasquez wrote a book claiming she chose to leave Prince; Carmen chose to leave and pursue her own career; Manuela Testolini filed for divorce, not Prince. Tamron Hall speaks of her friend, "The only other person I spoke with or speak with more than Prince is my mother," she explained. "This is the person I communicate with more than anyone." She explained that he did so many great things for so many people—beyond just music—but he always did it in silence. "There are just great things about him I wish I could tell people, but he wanted them to stay private. He didn't want people to know all of the ways he helped other people. He did it as this silent angel including how he helped me, in my life, on many occasions." - E News, April 22/16 [Edited 4/29/19 16:00pm] [Edited 5/29/19 21:10pm] | |

Yes, I remember. She still posts pics on her instagram from her time at Paisley, or just pics of Prince. She said he told her not to share about their relationship so people would respect her on her own merits. | |

No, I meant Mayte, all we know is that she unfollowed Kim on IG like any big girl would. To heck with correcting any lies or typos. Or maybe its true, she had the miscarriage before the baby. That is not what she said in her book though. | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
Just a question, and I need a logical reason for that, why would Mayte say that the miscarriage of the baby was after ahmir died if it wasn't true? Honestly, I really don't get why she would lie about that.
And a reason for not correcting Kim would be, that it's not worth it. Remember when Steve and the others called her out because of the photos? And she didn't really react, just kept going and the photos are a more serious thing. | |

Mayte can continue to pretend these things are above her, but as someone who forked over money for Mayte’s book, I’d like a confirmation, but maybe I’m just entitled. | |
