The whole thing makes me a little sick to my stomach. The greed on her part, the invasion of privacy by unsealing the records. Divorces are sad business. Even under the best of circumstances there is hurt. But I did lose any sympathy or compassion I might have had for her. And the age difference, her youth...he just should have known better. [Edited 1/13/17 17:03pm]

It sickens me that the evil Star Tribune was able to get this unsealed but I'm not sure why anyone is surprised she'd want to maintain the lifestyle she had when she was married to him. Good grief there are so many celebrity divorces where the spouse ends up getting a huge settlement. Michael Douglas reportedly shelled out $45 million to his first wife which is why he has a pre-nup with Catherine Zeta Jones.

If it sickens you then the easiest way to not vomit is to not read it.

I think building schools in honor of Prince is wonderful..however if he gave her $1 million to start her charity,and another $3 million when they divorced was given to her charity..Then didn't Prince build the schools? She also received donations from his fans.Lets remember this.

Preach!

And the other thing I was thinking was...They've been divorced a long time. Why did it take this long to build the school? Or was the building of the school expedited because...4/21?

She was able to get P's fans to help pay after his death.

And thats a fact Jack.

She is a manipulator. I hate to say it. She claimed Prince agreed to the school. Who knows? Maybe they made nice. I have my doubts.

I have my doubts as well. But why does she care so much about how the public or I guess Prince fans even view her anyway? I mean she got what she wanted already; the money, new husband, the gorgeous kids. She's living her life and whatever we think or gossip about on here should not make any dent on that.

You'd think so, but...who knows?

Mebbe the domestic bliss she's able to enjoy with EB is what she really wanted to enjoy with P, but P fans know that historically our lil stubborn sexy man was flawed, very flawed.

Sometimes you get exactly what you want or need, but not from the person you want or need it from.

Mebbe she thought she could change him.

P's fans could've saved her some time if she'd only asked. Lol

She cares because of her Prince connection. I bit most of connections she has was of the result of being with Prince and meeting with all kinds of famous people and industry people. She has shaded Prince over the years and she is no Goody two shoes. People tried to say she was playing it up but some people believed her and felt sorry for her. I am not saying she should not get anything but she asked for a lot moolah but wants to be seen as hippie charity philanthropist. Their divorce is a typical hollywood thing. Files should not have been opened.

Wasn't she a die hard fan first? Didn't she hang around him long enough b4 they got married? Didn't she date and study with him for a year?

Dat right Wonder.

Be forewarned.

This thread will most likely be deleted soon.

So say all you can as fast as you can in order to enterain me as I sip on my wine and toast him...

and his legacy which allowed me to be the different one in the crowd.

Amen.

She was a round long enough to see how he rolled. He was a force of nature.

I think the deleted threads speak for themselves, trust me. They only make Mani's case worse by impeaching the 1st amendment. Too much manipulation on all levels. Rest assured, orgers are not fools. They don't speak their mind but they witness a lot of things on here.

Um

Not to be inappropriate, but I think old girl was far more focussed on the "PurpleBounceBounce" than she was on any flaws P had.

Just sayin

By the time she woke up to the fact that while sexy af, P was also human and flawed, she was already married.

P's not completely innocent in all this either, messin with lil legal-but-young-thangs, but at least he tried not to give up.

I think P really did beleive in love, he just wasn't great at execution, poor baby.

Yep, she was a fan, then an employee, followed him around, tempted him, broke up his marriage, promised him love 4 ever, married him, lived the high life style, cheated on him, left him, divorced him, and took millions from him.

.

Nuff said?

No, he broke up his marriage. I am usually going to try to defend Prince but it was his marriage and his obligation to remain faithful (as well as Mayte's). The other woman is an outsider.

Manuela might have been guilty of greed (just like Prince was at times) but you have over-simplified she and MT's relationship in my opinion..

Do we have proof that she cheated on him with EB? Do we have proof that Prince cheated on Mayte when they were still an actual couple with MT? Does anyone have proof that the rumors about MAyte cheating are not real (or real for that matter?) None of us know.

Yes they aren't that bad and Prince comes off like a calm, compassionate person and she comes off like a hysterical b*tch.

I don't blame a man for wanting to bed a pretty young thing, but 20 yr age difference will never work. I'm sure she behaved as any young 20 something thrust into the lap of luxury and all the trappings that go with it. I don't blame her for wanted the records sealed. And I don't know if it was ultimately moral for the newspaper to dig into something both parties agreed to seal and kept private. Anything for sensationalism I suppose. Sensationalism sells souls to the devil and all the gouhls who live and lust for them. Whatever.

A 20+ year age difference can work out just fine. My great grandparents were 20 years apart in age. They were married for 40+ years, had 5 children, 19 grandchildren, and many more great-grandchildren. It's not the age difference. It is the COMMITMENT of the people involved.

not that i care much but this info isn't all that different from what most orgers thought of manuela all along. Sure, none of it is any of our business, but I was really hoping for some insight into the decline of the great man, gold digging women are a not unusual for men of power.

In regards to the conversation about Prince tearing down the house P shared with M2, I actually think it's funny as hell...but I also think it was P's way of not having to see something again after someone in his life was gone. He did the same exact thing to his dad's house after his dad's estate was finalised. The property is still there along with the gate that had P's symbol on it, but the purple house was leveled. JS

OMG! I had almost forgotten he had the "Purple House" he gave to his father razed. LOL! I am glad to see I was not the only one laughing when I read about their conversation......made me drop my damn tea as I was reading it! That part when he said "it was a dead house...it had to go and infestionation" had me like WTF?!? And then asking her "what did she just feel?" Again what in the hell?!?!...all she could say is " like someone punched me in the stomach." I am like damn I really underestimated the fierceness of Prince. Dude really was nothing to play with and did not give two f*cks...whatever she did he was like really done with her and told her so all in a nice nasty type of way!

After I saw the amount of money she was requesting for monthly support...nah bro, she was not digging for gold ...more like she was digging for platinum! I guess the article in Rolling Stones mag just happens to come out the day them divorce papers was unsealed for the public to view....It made her look worse like she doing some kind of PR damage control! Made her look real greedy! Even Stevie Wonder can see thru this mess!

I have these same doubts. In fact, it would not surprise me, at all, if Manuela made up the whole story about contacting Prince about this school. From the beginning, I have seen this as her way of inserting herself back into Princeland. She knows that she blew it by divorcing Prince, so chick wants to have her cake and eat it, too. I'll bet that Prince's spirit is happy that she is being exposed for the money-grubbing opportunist that she is.

.

Let's face it, charities are big business, especially when they have big, beloved names like Prince Rogers Nelson attached to them. And many of the people who run charities make a boatload of money. Indeed, in many cases, only pennies of every dollar raised actually go toward the charitable causes that the organizations/individuals use to raise money. The lion's share of the money in many charities goes toward paying "overhead," like HUGE salaries and expenses of the administrators...and for lavish parties and benefits.
