With all due respect, Laura, that's pure speculation...That may or may not be the reason; we just don't know (yet / if ever); it may be that things become clearer at a later date.

--According to the judge it is a boring file. But I guess you do not believe what the judge had to say either. Would you like it if the whole world knew your net worth?

You're mis-representing me, Laura. I've already said, I don't care to know the monetary details / his 'worth'. I'm sure he was worth many, many millions - no surprise there!
.
I don't disbelieve the judge. In fact, to a degree I would agree with the choice of adjective - I'm quite sure that the dollars and cents figures won't raise any eyebrows at all (and, as I've said, I'm personally not interested in those anyway).
.
I AM interested in the reasoning as to why he and Manuela were so keen to keep the files sealed, yes - you say it's because he didn't want others to know his 'worth'; I am saying we don't know if that's the reason or not, and that maybe the files whilst 'boring' may shed some light on things - or they may not.
.
Maybe their being unsealed will give rise to Manuela speaking out as to why she was so keen they remain sealed (after all, she has said some curious / revealing things on Facebook before). We shall see.

.

--// this is about her, not him. if it's boring then why are m2, omarr and bremer trying to keep it sealed, even though they lost?

--// don't we already know the majority of his "net worth"? and isn't he still dead? so what's the problem? what "invasion" of privacy and judge made it clear he doesn't care AND he has solid legal footing. this would never have been an issue if m2 hadn't made it one.

--- and i see how she's trying to hook omarr. trying to have one of prince's sibs on her side. snakey little cunt this one. but we knew that.

I wonder whats the point? what do they think they may find? are they hoping to find that she divorced him because of drugs? I'm sure TMZ is on top of it.

Sometimes what might be boring to one eyes might be a clue to solve a case to another eyes.

I am more interesting to know about the April 15 Moline incident than about the divorce records to be honest. I fully believed more information from that day should gives us a lot of clues about what likely happened on April 21st.

I think it's right that they be unsealed. Sorry. Just because someone is famous shouldn't give them special privileges that the rest of us don't have: divorce records are usually public records because it costs the public purse for them to take place / be legal.
.
Now, as to why Manuela didn't want them unsealed - did P pay her a VERY large sum? And if so, why? And if what Funkenberry is saying is true, why did P simultaneously stop speaking to her? I believe P had all close associates (including wives and girlfriends) sign confidentiality agreements - would such a contract have come to an end upon divorce?
.
I am wondering if Manuela was paid an extraordinarily large sum, and is concerned that people might start asking questions as to why that was...I guess we shall soon see.

.

This type of feeding cannibalistic mentality is part of why this planet is so fucked right now. So because YOU are curious and WANT to know things that are NONE OF OUR BUSINESS... his wishes and privacy should be violated? Fuck that.

.

You need to ask the STAR TRIBUNE why they are doing this then.

Nothing can bring him back. Does it really matter at this point. I'd rather let him Rest In Peace.

Then continue to do you when it comes to Prince.

Meanwhile I am going to keep my mind open and hope to learn more answers about Prince's death someday.

-/Like I have said if the media was really interested in Prince they would be looking at what happened in Moline and what exactly was he doing the day before he passed.

I agree with you on this one. The media has more avenues to get access to retrieve personal information than all of us on here (of course they had to go through the courts to get it legal). All I know Prince gave some clues over the last sixth months of his life indicate he is sending us messages too through his final concert. The problem is when I tell people about this they are obssessed with the drug addict angle (I am not referring to you because you know whats up too that this deeper than some typical drug issue) its hard to explain because so many people joined here after the 21 and are very clueless about the signs. I am just happy that after four years or so of hiatus I came back on the org around last fall and followed Prince until the day he died. He did things out of ordinary even for him.

I hope we get some answers why ST actually want those divorce records to be unseal. I am also curious to know why they aren't going after Mayte's divorce records.

Fans are definately being left out in the cold and that is unfair because there wouldnt be Prince without us. The Nelson family didnt made him we did as far as him being a superstar.

Is it me or did this women always look smug. I think she is about to get that smug look off her face.

I tell you what, laura, I have never seen such a look on Prince's face. I'm going to try to date the photo.

Maybe the reason she..... is a bit afraid for the records to come out.... is because maybe she knows that divoice hurt P funds badly and also was a cause of P having to do more concerts and work... also and maybe it's also casue she may have been tryin to get more............ also there is knowledge that yes her and Eric had been around each other before for the marriage...... also from what i do know P didn't really want a divoice ... not saying there wasn't issues on his side and her side of why the divoice .... happened .... so she may feel as though if people know that the sum she got .... in the divoice ... mad him have to sweat more... then people may in return be upset with her.... cause it meant he had to do more concerts.... and work more when he wanted to still work but slow down.... and also could have been already strugglings to make payment.......

In Other words the song " Beggin Women " I ....Got a Beggin woman.........listen well to the lyrics P is saying one comes in asking for one thing but has in mind another ......He's Hinting on the ...story

Remember, Manuella filed for divorce.

I think she doesn't want the financial settlement out to the public, that's all, and I think she feels the fans may hate her and harass her for what Prince ended up having to pay her.

That's my thoughts.

Forbes comes out every year with salary estimates of celebrities worth so don't think Prince's worth was of consideration.

Love that song

One can only speculate at this point in time. The information will soon be available to the public and then again, comments and opinions will generate profusely once a thread is created. Probably not what she signed up for. Neither money nor fame can replace the freedom of a private and ordinary life for celebrities let alone hated associated members in the Prince world. I with them all good luck.

I seriously hope that people will calm down. This article explains the reason why divorces and other court proceedings are usually a matter of public record in a open society such as we have in the US. This is how our system works...there is nothing unusual about it.

Lol, people need to get a grip in my opinion, life is what it is. Every time something comes up, there seems to be this big freakout over it. People need to stop looking for reasons to be angry, upset, overwrought and so on and so on. And of course this news comes on the anniversary. It's interesting how every month something is released that usually causes upset.

For the most part some folks never knew anything about him being married a second time or for how long, so it sparks a certain curiosity. I doubt if anyone is really interested in anything other than knowing what type of monetary settlement was received. I say this to not disrespect our beloved Prince in any way shape or form but I'm happy he was smart enough to not get robbed of his hard earned wealth by anyone. But let's see what lengths she went through to get what she received...

On the most recent Funkenbsrry podcast he says the only reason the Star Tribune wanted these records unsealed is to find out if drugs were mentioned at all and they found out there was no mention of drugs at all but the judge decided to unseal anyway. I'm not sure where Funkenberry got his info but the way he reported it made it sound like FACT not rumor or just a guess on his part.

He said he brought messages from M2 to Prince because Prince refused to speak to her. He may have some inside scope but he did say that he did not know why Prince stopped speaking to her.

The judge already said there nothing special in the files. I suspect it is all about money and maybe accusations of cheating. Funkenberry did say that Tamar had to give a depositon in the divorce case.
