Sorry but TMZ was wrong about Prince leaving the hospital after a few hours because he could not get a private room. I am guessing they made that part of the story up to make him look like a stuck up and difficult rock star.

He stayed in the hospital until 11:00 a.m the next day and was not difficult according to Mrs. Hill Let's be honest reporting that would have made the story too positive. It is easy to find out when the place took off from Moline and when it arrived back in MN it is just as easy as getting 911 calls.

Not surprised they have not addressed that on their site or the fact that they and other news outlets stated that the convict was Prince's son before the DNA was even conducted.

Let's face it they cannot find out much about what was going on with Prince and he did not have his personal business out in the media when he was alive so they felt it was okay to make up some elements of his story to get clicks. It is unethical and sleazy.

TMZ was wrong. Can say that about all media worldwide.

Call me dumb but why can the press print anything when you die. When you are alive you have a right of reply and can sue if it is BS. Defamation of character even if you die should be against the law too.

TMZ is a gossip site. I don't know that they've ever held themselves out to be journalists.

I think they are scuzzballs but I've never considered them as dealing in journalism. Only gossip.

Tabloids can print anything anytime. Why? Because dumbfucks will still visit their sites and still buy tabloids. They will still link to tabloid sites on sites like prince.org.

Only reason TMZ breaks any story first is because they don't go through the same process that the New York Times and other legitimate news sources do.

But again. Folks LOVE to gossip -- just look at the nonsense that continually gets locked and asked to be posted in the absurd sticky. Just go to the Associated Artists forum and click on any of former exes or the overwhelming dislike of any former female associated artist or person. The disrespect shown for Mayte when NOT A SINGLE PERSON ON THIS SITE TRULY HAS A CLUE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN THEIR RELATIONSHIP.

Damaris doesn't care! Sheila E is trying to make a buck off of Prince's death! Folks that found Prince should have tried to bring Prince back to life even though he had already been dead at least 6 hours in that elevator!

Folks love to gossip. Love to lose their minds over things they know absolutely nothing about. Get their news from tabloid sources.

Tabloids can be sued repeatedly for many legitimate reasons -- but thanks to ignorant people that watch their shows, go to their sites, buy their rags both here and in the UK -- they will never go out of business.

Such a relief others see this. Strip away the sensational details - their network seemed to be tailing him, watching a dire situation play out. Can't imagine being the photog that snapped the shot at Walgreens the day after he passed. How could you be that close in the moment, knowing somebody needed intervention to prevent something unthinkable but probable from happening? Why not get out of your car and approach... say SOMETHING. No better than the paparazzi chasing Diana to her death. Still - his reportedly cryptic words to the Walgreens employees seem to point to an underlying cause. If true. .

That is another thing if that comment he made at Walgreens is even true why not follow up on that.

We all know the reason if had other health issues it would show that he was taking pain pills for pain and that does not fit their narrative of " dead junkie rock star" nevermind we are hearing no stories of Prince flipping out on people or being out of it which, is what you usually hear or see with drug addicts.

They had an agenda from the very beginning as I have not seen one story on their site about all of the good stuff he did for other artist and charities. I hope when the estate is resolved and the smoke clears his family or Mr. Mcmillian will make a statement and put these fools on blast.

TMZ is and never has been a "legitiamate source for news." It is a entertainment gossip show that talks about messiness. They will say Prince's plane made and emergency landing(which was true) then speculate why it happened. While there is some truth to what they report, since they go to shadey sources and not the real source they may not get it right.

I have said this before here when peole where complaining about TMZ earlier. The gossip magazines and sites normally get it right on a lot of things how/why-they pay people. Plan and simple, they have so many insiders on the pay roll it ain't funny.

The question should be how did Prince have this massive opiod addition/dependence and no one claims to know anything?

TMZ has always been full of shit. They even had the nerve to say Prince had a cocaine addiction, which we all know isn't true. I wouldn't pay any mind to what they're saying.

honestly, i thnk the story might have ended differently if prince hadn't been dedicated to putting on a show of good health in his last few days.

when he said 'wait a few days before you waste any prayers', i think that was his way of saying 'i OD'd, youre going to read about it soon, and i don't deserve your prayers'.

which to me means that he was preoccupied about being in the media spotlight, and it affected what he chose to do following the emergency plane landing.

maybe if prince had lived in a world where paparazzi stalkers were legally forbidden and punishable by law, he would have quietly found the help he needed sooner. i don't know.

but i believe he was aware that paparazzi were stalking him, during his first recovery and even as he was dying. this pisses me off. big time.

someone needs to turn it around on these paparazzholes and make each of their personal lives a living hell just to demonstrate the point.

are you coming out of the hospital crying because you've been diagnosed with a nasty cancer? could you turn your face this way so our photog can get the tear tracks on your face? thanks.

The Judith Hill article said Kirk never left Prince's side, but the way I took it was that Judith was possibly in and out of the room, because the article explicitly mentions Kirk and not her as being omnipresent.

I believe Prince likely was co-operative and played it cool to a point, but something had to happen, because hospitals don't just release you when they can find a reason to keep you around and run up the bill on you. In Prince's case, he nearly died from a self-admistered opiate overdose. That's a big big red flag right there. Bottom line, imo, there is no way on Earth, the hospital looked at Prince's situation and just said, "Nothing more to worry about here. Have a nice day!"

The TMZ info more than likely came from staffers at the hospital.

Seems like a waste of time to go sifting through gossip sites/shows just to try and find a few factual crumbs.

Oh please, how much was P featured on TMZ before all this? Don't pretend it's their fault he was in denial -- that was his default way of handling bad shit.

Exactly, the person responsible for this mess is Prince himself. TMZ, like the Drudgereport have proven to be spot on in the past. Once again, they called bs on flu explanation immediately. So, Prince bought spotlight on himself [Edited 6/24/16 14:21pm]

sure. and next time you seek treatment for medical condition or a substance abuse issue let's make sure the public can access your treatment notes and details of your inpatient care. you won't mind, will you? TMZ obviously bribed medical personnel in moline to divulge details of prince's condition that were protected under law. that stinks like the pile it is. NO ONE should have even known his plane landed for the save shot, let alone why. ever.
