'Testolini’s claim that she needed $42,574 a month, which she said amounted to no more than 2 percent of his monthly earnings, to maintain a lifestyle that included attending the awards shows and hosting parties afterward.'

WHAT?! What a fucking ridiculous claim whofarted

.

In the spirit of keeping it real, she didn't write Little Red Corvette or Kiss. She didn't do shit except spread her legs for P every once in awhile. And she wants $43K of his hard earned money PER MONTH??? F*ck her....greedy gold digging billy jack bitch.

.

I don't get how these women believe they are entitled to someone else's hard earned income. Prince worked his ass off for decades to make every penny he had. He practiced until his fingers bled. He made a lot of personal and health sacrifices in order to earn that money. And he offers to give her $9 million plus $10,000 per month and she still wants more. Some women are evil, selfish, little coddled princesses.

.

But just like the WB contract, Prince signed the marriage contract and he's partly to blame for his mistake, but still she was trying to take advantage of him.

It takes a lot of nerve to claim that, especially since she's the one who requested the divorce.

Absolutely. She knew how this would look and that's why she didn't want it unsealed. She has a face she puts on to the world - the way she WANTS to be viewed- but something has never added up with her and Prince fans know that and this proves it in my opinion.

Poor Prince. He was a romantic and was led into some bad relationships with his heart. And not saying that he must have been easy to live with, but there's no way around how outrageous Manuela was to demand so much of his hard earned money.

.

I know the marriage contract is primarily a business contract, and maybe that's what she was legally entitled to, but it is still moraly wrong.

.

And Prince was trying to be happy and create incredible music for us to enjoy, and instead he was being dragged down by this.

.

Although we probably got some good songs out of it like "I Hate U" and "The Ex's Face". I would rather him not have to go through that though.

Are you talking about "I Hate You" ("Eye Hate U") from The Gold Experience...because that is not about Manuela. How do you know "X's Face" is about her? It could be about an ex-girlfriend. That song is from HNR1 (2015), a long time after he and Manuela divorced.

.

I didn't say either song was about her. But I suspect "The Ex's Face" was at least partially inspired by her.

As I read about him locking her out of the house/ putting her stuff in storage and cutting up the credit cards, Oran Juice Jone's song was running through my head, "Just chill cause you cole busted- I went to the bank- cut up all your credit cards..."

lol

Actually, I do see why she didn't want these unsealed- they show that she does have a love of the lifestyle and the money, something she always downplayed- even recently on her FB post abou the 40 things about me- or whatever when she said she never wore make up- didn't know how to apply it (I'm such a down to earth real girl) meanwhile, she wants to keep the 5,000 dollar make up artist for award shows and lavish parties afterwards- and for who? herself? Did she think she was the star? This is why she comes across as shifty and shady. All this, "Aw shucks, I'm just a humanitarian who doesn't like the spotlight and wouldn't know a lip liner from an eyeliner..." doesn't fly when she see that she came with nothing, left with a 6 million dollar home, lexus, and still wanted to maintain lavish parties , personal assistants and make up artists.....

Okay that Oran Juice Jones reference was hilarious giggle

well at least she is trying to do something positive with his money now with the schools and all! It takes two to tango! At least there is nothing in these papers that will tarnish his legacy. In fact, it was a total waste of time. Heads should role at the Tribune for it. Prince comes out of it just fine. Except a big hole in his pocket! She could have come out with some big lies about him, to make him look bad.

Now y'all know that I never kept up with MT, heck I didn't even know P & MG had split up for a long time afterwards cuz I was going through my own life crap, but I'm nosey whenever P's involved in the conversation so I read this...

Firstly, I can see why MT didn't want these documents unsealed...I agree with y'all...She definitely doesn't come off as "Oh, I'm just a simple gal who isn't moved by all this celebrity stuff". I think he was quite generous with her in the marraige and she got a respectable settlement, considering that she never wrote, played nor sang a song to add to the "marital bank coffers".

But, after seeing how generous/dignified P comes off...Only one thing I can think of that would make a person react this petty and "generously stingy"...I think P was being very gentlemanly not to call her outright on it too, but I think we've most likely come to a similar conclusion. sad

That Oran "Juice" Jones video says it all, in my opinion...Interesting to me that it's called The Rain. confused

Poor P, he just didn't seem to have much luck in romance for the long haul. For that I'm sad.

But he did have a magical life when it's all said and done, innit? wink

I miss him so much.

cool

I can think of a lot of celebrities who got divorced and had to pay their ex a huge sum of money. I love that it makes the Star Tribune look bad though. They wanted dirt and got absolutely nothing. In terms of celebrity divorces this one was pretty boring.

Getting locked out of the house must have been embarrassing. Wonder why that happened, and bulldozing the house? Wow.


Really?

There really is only one thing that would make a man react that way - and we all know what it is.

Infidelity, I am guessing is what you are alluding to here. But then, why didn't he just divorce her? I'm not a JW, but on the website for the Watchtower Online Library, I found a page stating that:

Since marriage is a sacred arrangement, divorce is not to be taken lightly. In fact, Jehovah hates divorces that have no Scriptural basis.—Malachi 2:15, 16.

What forms a Scriptural basis for divorce? Well, Jehovah hates adultery and sexual immorality. (Genesis 39:9; 2 Samuel 11:26, 27; Psalm 51:4) Indeed, he finds sexual immorality so despicable that he allows it as grounds for divorce.

(Source: http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/...102008088)

--

Prince's response to the divorce was as follows:

Prince’s personal lawyer, Patrick Cousins, confirms that Testolini Nelson is the petitioner. “His wife filed for divorce. This isn't something that he wanted,” says Cousins. “There isn’t anything else. He didn’t counter sue. He is just trying to get it resolved.

You know the song "Find Another Love"? I know it was originally written & sung by someone else but P added to it & it sounds like he was talking about Manuela." You said I was what you wanted...Liar! You never wanted me that way...I was someone you flaunted..Hired, Fired U never had a plan to stay..I tried to b what you wanted...I'm tired,tired..The house we use to share is Haunted...Expired, Expired. U use to think I was so much fun, now I'm just the guilty one..Everthing we use to share our clothes and even our hair.Now all you see is what I did, How come I can't tell me that kid. Behind my back I'm just a so and so ( I think he must have been referring to Tamar going on tour with him) But she refused to travel with him. By this point I believe she was developing a relationship with Eric. In his song "Love" he talked about her "playing him" It makes me so sad for P because he really loved her and thought she would share his life and his faith with him but it seems she just used him. She has no idea what she did..She was in such a favored position and she could have been a true companion & helper to him. Together she and he could have helped so many people physically & spiritually. But she only thought about her candles & charity...sad

I hate you is suppossedly about Carmen Elektra, X-'s face I heard was about some white girl who condescendingly said black don't crack and beige don't age to cover a latent racism. that's just what i've read, i don't really know.

If money was all she cared about she'd look the other way no matter what was happening. Eric could have been her lover forever if that was all that was going on...nah, P ain't gonna step out, not P. smile

P gave us his all. Mani states Gamilla? and Another girl were written for her.

i think "another girl" is just prince's original version of the song he later gave to bria
for her album, where it became "another boy".

Yes of course I was exaggerating for effect there and I'm sure she gave him some moral support and good conversation occasionally as well. But I cant think of anything she could have possibly done to deserve $43K a month, in addition to the $9 million he already gave her. That is already obscene and that should have been it.

I agree 100%. But a lot of guys are desperate to hold onto a woman or they are goofy in love. And a lot of women want someone to take care of them, financially, and then if the relationship doesn't work out, the man still has to take care of them.
