so whats this i hear about Prince hitting women?

Jill Jones alludes to it, Sinnead said he threatened her with physical violence, and Charlene Friend tried to sue him for it..

any truth to this? and how do his confidentiality agreements work exactly? was Jill Jones silenced?

hmmm

I honestly hope never to read a full unauthorized biography from someone in the Prince camp.

It's only a matter of time before one surfaces with real juicy parts. Shit Rock Hudsen and Liberace tried like hell to slide their business under the carpet. But dirty laundry seems to always get aired. MJ's legacy days are numbered--it's only matter of time. But, I dread those parts, honestly. The parts dealing with Prince that is.

My skin crawls imagining a Jill Jones excerpt:

"He came at me with a pair of pumps and smacked my bottom hard. 'That'll teach you for wearing my dresses!,' He screamed...."

I don't think its far fetched.

But I found the stuff he did to Mayte during her pregnancy more gruesome, if they're true, and I hope not.

And there was that story of Mayte having cravings for meat, but Prince wouldn't let her have any, saying she had to be vegetarian, so his former housemaid/helper smuggled in (or smuggled her out to get) burgers.

Not violence, I'll grant you, but a pretty shitty attitude towards the mother of his unborn child. sad

blah blah blah

Has Mayte spoken about her pregnancy?

No one ever confirmed Jill was talking about Prince. Jill talks about more than Prince in her life, especially at this point. There were a lot of folks in that audience who were probably known to have been abusive to a woman. Doesn't mean she meant Prince.

You can't go by his song lyrics. We all know he'll change them in a heartbeat, so he doesn't mean them literally. shrug

I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart.

Yes she did. She then reworded it to make it more open, as has been said multiple times already.

He also said "Incest is everything it's said to be" and "Maceo can you blow"

That bitch is nasty, but is he sincere?

i think the first part of the lyrics is him talking to himself, and the second part is him covering his ass, but i could be wrong.

Jill's claims are serious. If she's lying that's harsh bullshit, and if she knows something she wants to share, then she should share it clearly.

I find this hard to believe that Prince would do such a thing anyway: other people would have talked about it. Of all people Wendy & Lisa would have been the first to reject him for this (they already were really pissed at him for the way he handled his relationship with Susannah, though it didn't include beating as far as we know). Prince has slept with hundreds of women and the way most of them respect his privacy tends to prove that he was really respectful with them.

Can't someone here who's Jill Jones' friend on FB ask her CLEARLY wtf it's about by email? She will be remembered as the girl who hinted that Prince was abusive anyway, so she'd better be more specific about it and clear that whole situation.

Confidentiality agreements are not unusual, though.

Many musicians hand them to their employees to keep their working environment & techniques from being unveiled.

Prince: "And if you can just sign here, here and here please..."

Protege: "What's this for?"

Prince: "Confidentiality agreement. Just so you don't go telling other people about my recording techniques, upcoming projects or violent attacks"

Protege: "oh ok. Black or blue ink?"

somehow can't see that sort of thing being covered by a confidentiality agreement.

It doesn't matter shrug its a routine that many recording artists have developed, and obviously it worked for them.

What I or you see about those kind of deals is irrelevant.

No. You're wrong. Illegal activites such as acts of violence cannot be gagged by a confidentiality agreement.

If it really did happen and said person was stood before a judge being cross examined and was asked if they were attacked, do you really think that 'I'm sorry, I can't answer that because I signed a confidentiality agreement' would wash as an excuse not to answer? nuts

No, no, no lol thats what I meant.

What I meant was that confidentiality agreement doesn't necessarily have to protect a negative aspects such as violence and such.

But on the other hand, it sure covered some illegal activities such as payola from major record companies and other shady deals. Damn near every major label armed themselves with those, and many big time artists.

James Brown was famous for his confidentiality agreements, and the man ran AMUCK, god bless him.

women injest FAR worse than a vegetarian diet while pregnant .. its fuckin disgusting .. and who wants their child grown on cigarettes, growth hormones in meat, soda, sugar, booze, drugs (prescription, over the counter and illegal) .. vats and vats of greasy undigestable foods .. just disgusting .. no wonder kids are born so unhealthy or get sick at such a young age

who knows if prince FORCED that diet on her or if those doulas where just trying to make a buck .. considering its PRINCE i lean toward they are trying to make a buck .. mayte is an ADULT she can make her own decisions .. DUH

as for women accusing prince of violence .. i seriously doubt it

days of wild addresses it ..

"if a woman ever said i did she's a muther fuckin liar i'm a set up kid."

u never have to interview prince .. he says it all in his songs ...

Excuses for behaviour and denial. Congratulations, if this issue really did turn out to be true, you'd be a perfect catch for any would-be abuser.

We're omnivores by nature. Some people are vegetarians, but only by choice. And you can't choose for your unborn child. Many vegetarians succumb to eating meat whilst pregnant, because the baby is craving it. Meat isn't unhealthy as you try to make out. In fact, we need it. That's why vegetarians have to take supplements to get the right amounts of missing nutrients. They have to do that because they're not getting a balanced diet, so have to stock up on protein & certain vitamins & minerals by different means.

Some ways of cooking meat are unhealthy, granted, but exactly the same can be said of some ways of cooking vegetables.

And if you believe everything he says in lyrics, then there's always:

"Don't you know I could kill you now. I've got a gun. I'll slap your ass into the middle of next week."

I'm not saying I believe or agree with this thread, and I won't until I see more evidence, but I'm not gonna strap on a pair of purple blinkers and deny that it could be true, just because he's my favourite artist.
