Prince would NEVER do anything so self-centered and misoganysitc...

Clearly, she's lying.



Are you serious? if you know him, then ok maybe I can by this statement. I don't think she's lying it's just her side of the story.

Prince's womanizing is a classic trait of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, which is a form of depression. People with this disorder repress deep emotions towards others, leading to a lack of empathy for others' feelings. They also are very threatened by others who may be of equal or higher talent or intelligence, which is an obstacle to their ultimate goal of huge success and recognition. That's why it is so easy for Prince to go from woman to woman without concern about their feelings. And this is also why he chooses women who are passive and can be controlled. Why do you think the flings with Madonna & Kim Basinger were short lived? They are too threatening to Prince based on their talen and success. Usually, the only way to change this kind of behavior is to seek professional help, which is unlikely among people with this disorder.

I wouldn't put my money on any long-term relationship or marriage, unless he got help.

Nona:

…not really stable. And I wasn’t either. I was still into drugs big time.


Exactly. Read between the lines people!! What Nona is really saying is 'Prince and I were really into drugs big time. We used to sniff blow all night long and party like it's 1999!'

Drugs obviously enabled Prince to write some of the best music in his career (can you say Gold Experience?). It's too bad Prince doesn't come out and share with the public his experiences with heroin, ecstasy, cocaine, herbs, etc. He shouldn't be so ashamed. Now that he's sober and giving us church music, it's time for him to retreat back to his good old days of being bad--I think Prince needs to return to his old playboy self, pick-up a 16 year-old hottie, and start back his old drug habit. bluntplayboy

Just my 2 cents. Stop the War on Drugs!
Whatever it is, it´s got to be PHUNKy!!!

Man I don't get it. Okay does everyone remember the Prince video with Nona in red. 'Love Sign' Well during that time Mayte was in the picture. Or does any1 remember the Soul Train show they did with Mayte showing some signs and Nona singing 'Love Sign'. What I'm trying to say is that ... I don't believe the story about Prince marrying Mayte and not Nona. talk to the hand

yeah the story seems a bit suspect...i'm sure they had a relationship of some sort but i was at both palladium shows in new york city on the 13th and 14th of july 1994..i was up front on the dance floor in front of the stage both nites and nona was there...she stood along side the stage both nites with lenny and some other people and got up and sang love sign with prince..ect...so i'm not sure what "new york" show she could be refering to in the article...plus after that she did the "love for one another" video with prince..and i'm sure you all remember the point of that video was to point out mayte as "the one" for him...ect...blah blah blah...

That's interesting that you put him into her quote on her doing drugs. If she spoke enough about hwat happened between them, she probably would've mentioned he did some with her too. If she had any type of confidentiality agreement signed with him, she wouldn't have said all that she already said, IMO.

But I must say DAMN, is that boy lucky. He's dated some of the prettiest women on this earth!!! Nona's SO fine! disbelief And I'd be lucky just to date the cleaning lady in my work building. LOL!

In this article Nona does admit she didn't know Prince and he didn't know her as well. So, this let me know that maybe it could have been an off and on relationship. Maybe, Prince saw Nona once a year or every blue moon. Which makes me beleive that Nona took things a little more serious. I feel when your dating that long distance does not count especially, If their is no kind of commitment. Nona proably wanted in her fantasy to marry him or something. I don't think that Prince would invite Nona to a concert as a date knowing that he's engaged to Mayte. He proably invited her as a friend. Nona, is crazy if she's still affected by the past. By the way, I hope Nona is drug free.

Clearly, she's still hung up about her whole relationship with Prince.

Every time I read a Nona Interview, If Prince gets dropped in the mix, it always goes into some sad sop story of "What Could Have Been"

At least she acknowledges that she's unstable, but I think it's a bit worrying that she also mentions that she doesn't think she can handle another relationship based on what Prince (so called) done to her 8 or so years ago - Move ON!

If Nona's daddy were around, I think 4 sure he'd be singing 2 her "What's Goin' On!"


ditto... Nona, move on honey, Mayte did. Get some help to get over the past, so you can enjoy a brighter future. AND, Prince may have been a playa back in the day. Obviously he has matured and moved into a more stable stage in his life. Any how, we all know some folk who use to liv that kinda lifestyle. Most of us get older and wiser.

Nona is not telling the truth. She was not in a relationship with Prince. Nor was Mayte. Mayte has been with Tommy Lee for a while. You all don't get when someone is distracting you from the truth. Prince is in therapy now. Hopefully he will stop. He is not a womanizer. But certain women that are prone not to tell the truth latch on to him. Athena is sort of on the right track. There is a reason all the women look similar that is another disorder.Smile. He doesn't do it to be mean or even does it consciously. Mayte was pregnant but it was not Princes. He does not have sex as much as his fans would like to think.
sorry if that was over your head...jump up and try to catch the point next time.

How do you know Prince has Narcissistic Personality Disorder? Are you his therapist? I'm not trying to hate on you here, I'm just wondering how you came up with this so-called disorder that Prince has. True, Prince can be arrogant, but perhaps labeling him with this disorder is taking it a bit too far, dontcha think?

My perspective on Narcisstic Personality Disorder is a result of having a relative with this disorder, and getting extensive professional perspectives on what the disorder is, and what the typical behavior is. Search the Internet on Narcisstic Personality Disorder, and you will educate yourself on the subject, and identify the striking signs that coincide with how Prince behaves towards others.

In her defense, it's really hard to have closure about a situation when you've invested time and caring then have it end so harshly and abruptly...after 3 years. This isn't Joe-blow down the road that she's getting over. If someone as attractive, massively talented, and powerful as Prince CHOOSES to want to be with you out of so many other women and promises to marry you! You're thinking oh I'm the one...then you see some other chick wearing the ring you thought was going to be yours. Not to mention him not giving her the respect and saying at I'm sorry I've chosen someone else...come on people. I was in this situation with Joe-blow down the street and it took me a while to get over. Not the part where I didn't have him anymore...but the cowardly way he handled the situation. Yeah 8 years is a long time, but...He is Prince. As far as Mayte goes...she had a fuller relationship with Prince and a child. She was in it enough and really got to see who this guy was...enough to know she didn't want to be with him anymore. Or maybe they got tired of each other. Nona apparently was in love still when he dumped her. Oh and lets not forget Carmen Electra was in the picture too. I do think Prince has chilled though. I hope he finally figured out what loving a woman is about. This is really wild though...I was at an in-store signing and Prince had Nona on one side of him and Mayte on the other side of him. The rest of the band was nice an friendly, Mayte and Nona looked PISSED!!! with a capital "P". Not happy to be there at all!

Prince doesn't strike me as particularly the "drug using" type..from what I read-it seems he may have had a bout w the bottle somewhere...(heard he got Bonnie Raitt to AA) I don't think Nona's admission means P was using with her...alcoholism is typical of NPD's. A hallmark of the disorder is putting someone on a pedestal 1 day/next day POOF!..w/o so much as wave by-by. Getting analytical, but w a nod to Queen, I don't know y, but I always thought P's marriage 2 Mayte was a kind of rescue--noble, but I had a feeling her baby wasn't his. Maybe from the birth/death certificate-no father named..also, Queen's story about his having kids born w/o defects. Nona is lovely. I think she sounds direct and maturing as a result of her experiences. The selection of very young "girls" fits in with NPD. It is a very painful disorder..even more so for those who care for an NPD. ALso the tales of his perfectionism/cleanliness. Sam Vaknin's book on the disorder is a great source of info.

ATHENA,i had vaguely heard of the disorder syndrome you
mentioned and you could be right about P.

as for him being a playa that doesn't make him anything but
a typical music star. guys like JACKIE WILSON.ELVIS,james
Brown, john lennon and mccartney...all had well-known reps
as playas -in that Business there are groupies and girls
throwing themselves at those guys!

the fact most of prince's girlfriends knew about one another
is a bad reflection on them,too. if you ARE dumb enough
stick around a guy who has other women YOu know about around- what does that say about you?

i'm not choosing sides. i love p's music but he is or was
an asshole. especially with his friends. (male and female)

nona was just 1 in a long line of girls who got involved with a man who had a difficult time commiting himself to
one girl. he loved susan Moonsie and he loved SUsannah.
BUT HE COULDN't commit to one person all the way.

that makes him flawed. but human.

i can't blame him for "flaw" with the ladies. there are some
women who have the same "flaw".

again ATHENA...i love your words. and i think you're right
about what went down with madonna & kIM b...THEY'RE way
too strong-minded to have lasted with prince too long.

nona and mayte were very young when they met PRINCE which
didn't help them deal with a complex personality like Prince.

one interesting thing about mayte & nona's current situation. nona's ALONE. still fragile while mayte is married to another wild character in Tommy lee!

which lady is better off?

Prince mentioned having a bout with Alcohol in a few interviews while promoting Emancipation. I have always thought that he had NPD as well obessive compulsive issues.

Okay if memory serves me right I was watching E Hollywood Story on Carmen Electra, and I could have sworn her saying that she was with Prince and when she moved to CA she thought they were still together then she heard about Mayte. So if that is the case then that would mean Prince was with her, Mayte and Nona at the same time.
My personal opionion is that he accidently knocked Mayte up and then figured he had to try and do the right thing and marry her.
Just my opinion though-

Whatever. rolleyes Prince may have some of the symptoms of Narcisstic Personality Disorder, but that does not mean he actually HAS it. rolleyes

That's like when people were saying he has "a club foot" and "Tourette's Syndrome" which both are a bunch of bullshit in my opinion. Get real, people! rolleyes Prince definitely does not have a club foot, and I doubt that he has Tourette's Syndrome. hrmph shake lol
