I think this is the best Prince shade GIF ever. Someone said that this is Prince in the afterlife, looking at Manuela AND Mayte with her forthcoming book, like "I can't be played." I've never tried to post a GIF, but I sure hope it works.

Has anyone been reading the post from the reporter from strib? With the emails between P and M2? I find most of the "emales" as P put it...quite interesting. Did anyone else catch on to the one on the twitter feed labeled "How #Prince signed his name"? It was his signature on a protective order! I wonder if it was a protective order against him...or was it the other way around??? You can't read the entire page...correct me if I'm wrong..In addition, M asked P if the house was gone and P replied something like "that's what they say"(I'm assuming the contractors that bulldozed it), then P asks M how she feels about it and she replied "sick to my stomach"...her hands were trembling and she had to go...P replied "bye bye"...LOL. In the same line of "emales" she (M2)wanted to know where her stuff was...along with her IMMIGRATION papers! She said "someone mysteryiously swiped them". (He replied everything that was in the file drawer was in "safe keeping' in the vault....unreal She also went back to the house without P's permission becuase she didn't want her stuff "burnt like Mayte's" stuff was burnt in Larry (Grahm's) backyard!!

Yes but in yesterday's RS article she said she wasn't able to contact him about it. I'm almost certain I read a quote from her somewhere after April saying he was pleased about it.

If you click on the picture, you can read a bit more. he asked how she felt about it? She said sick to my stomach. He said Sorry to hear that. She said gotta go. He said wish you wouldn't but okay. She then said 'my hands are shaking'. he then said NP (no problem), we can talk later if you want to. Then they both said bye.

I didn't see the part where she said she felt sick to her stomach. It looked like she said sorry. Is that only partial? How do I read the whole thing?

Keep in mind that she already knew he had torn down the house and asked without being provoked is the house torn down? He answered and stated why. he might have been fucking her a little bit (maybe not, we don't know the context). But she is the one who brought it up in the first place (if this is indeed the total conversation.)

Something bad must have happened in that house. Maybe his way of dealing with whatever that thing was was different than her way of dealing with it.

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!

[/quote Yes that was cold and also classic. I think both women got the mindgames alot. He was asking if it hurt and inviting her back for more. These exchanges make me feel for her. I already knew he messed with M1s mind, he did it to M2 as well...

She did say that in April and now a different story is comming up now. I don't why she felt the need to add that Prince was pleased with it. It's ok to build a school in honor of him but it's not ok to say he "knew" about to just make it more legitimate.

purplerabbithole said:

Or it could be that she knew that bringing up their post-divorce conduct would inevitably open up a can of worms to questions like "how often did you guys talk?" Why did you divorce? When did you start being on cordial terms again? What does your current husband think about your interactions?' etc..

If Prince's shady divorce lawyer is to be trusted, Prince and MT were still hammering out financial details on the divorce until close to the end. Didn't the divorce papers state that Prince (post-divorce) deposited 3 million into that account of hers (that was originally set up for charity). they don't say what year it was. It could have been relatively recently for various things.

Her interactions with Prince might have been as complex, inconsistent, and intricate as the interactions with Revolution members in later years.

She wasn't able to locate him about the location, not necessarily the entire concept.

From yesterday's neatly planned Rolling Stone article: "A year later, in 2006, Testolini and Prince divorced amicably. When asked about whether or not they kept in touch on charitable works after the divorce, she says, "I don't want to bring up the divorce, so I'm just going to stick on the charity subject."" No one asked her to bring up the divorce. They asked about whether she and Prince spoke about charity after the divorce (meaning since). Obviously she doesn't want people to know that they NEVER SPOKE AGAIN - and he kicked her to the curb FOREVER. THAT is the MANI-pulation I'm talking about. http://www.rollingstone.c...rk-w460865 [Edited 1/14/17 6:22am]

Ok- I've missed something. WHERE are you guys reading this "transcript" of this phone call? Can someone post a link please? Also, my two cents- yes, major maniupulation on MT2's part- I also noticed how hard she went at it on her FB day this article came out. She is a pro. But, a bit too much of a pro and it comes off very clear what she's doing. I don't believe she told him about this school at all ever- she decided it the day he died I'm sure- Of course if she had spoken with him she would loudly say, "We spoke, he said //// " and she can't say that. As for these threads being deleted- I'm sure he'll correct me if I'm wrong but to me, it looks as though she has "befriended" our moderator Militant- by putting him in the funeral program- asking for a quote from him- which was wonderful for him but I feel more of her manipulation so that she can have him delete threads, whatever- I could be wrong. I'm sure he'll set me straight.

I guess my point is that she brought up the subject of the house being torn down .He didn't. If he had brought it up, I would be more inclined to believe he was only just fucking with her. Could it just be that our boy is weird and doing something that he figured to be redemptive or cleansing? And it was just a painful approach for her?

I don't know if this was a post divorce conversaton or not? If it was post divorce, I am suprised he was still engaging with her at all? If it was during their marriage or the proceedings, he might have torn it down for a different reason than we think. Manuela had a miscarriage at some point with someone. If it was P, maybe it was in that house. Or maybe just maybe, P's religious beliefs and tendency to remove things that are upsetting to him made him feel the need to remove a painful reminder of divorce. You assume that he did it to spite her. But he wasn't spiting anyone when he tore down his dad's old house after he died..

Prince tended to run away from painful things (avoiding funerals and such). This would mean cutting off things like the home he shared with a woman who dumped him, but the interesting thing is that he was still engaging with her. So maybe he was trying to explain it to her and she took it as cold.

Oh, he was definitely messing with her on that text. I also felt something must've happened in the house. I also think she might've done something BIG for him to respond as he did. Because obviously he didn't want the divorce. Now on the other hand I have read that Prince's was a flirt. He might've done things too. Without him telling the story we will never know.

Sorry, peeps but since y'all have been judgemental upon her, I'd have to say that anybody who will bulldoze a house following someone quitting on them (divorcing in this case) sounds a little like sombody anybody would divorce.
And as anybody who knows what happens when you divorce, the lawyers file the claim based on a general aim of 'get half'.
The fact that this is generally seen as 'the man getting half taken' is not the mechanism but rather 'the contract being equalised'.

That's pretty kuch the emotionless fact of contract and law.

When it's company A suing company B for half of a contract and one party gets, in the end, a quarter, we don't hear much about it because there's no gossip value nor emotion value.

Marriage is the most bizarre contract of all because it's never realistic as a proposition at the outset (forever and totally yours etc etc) yet is presented in terms of 'the decent thing to do'.
Actually, the terms of marriage are, being religiously influenced, dependent on nothing less than a miracle of a match or a miracle of endurance.

Anybody who ever went from being a fanlike admirer of someone's 'perfection' to emptying their laundry basket knows that 'it ain't all that'

is what I'm sayin

Ya, I think it's just where we are as a society, pretty much everyone is the same, the stakes are highter here but it's not any different than what most of us go through. As a sociologist, I know that this society we live in encourages everyone to be against everyone, that explains the laws, the lawyers etc.., We can't be mad at the system we're in, no no, we got to be mad at each other and they do everything to make that happen. divide and conquer for all.

Well said!

you meet peolpe in your life that you auctomatically like, they exude soemthing very attractive, i think prince was one of those people, in addition to his charisma, unbelievable sex appeal and talent, he just had that super likeable good guy quality. i know he had dick moments, but we still liked him, a lot. mani to me, has the opposite, she has the automatic anti charisma, there is something about her that is immediatley unlikeable and unattractive, somethinmg in her aura is ick...it just makes me wonder what low and sad place prince was in when he fell for her, to not be feeling that auto yuck...he was so off the charts talented, smart and aware, it is hard to believe how over the top aweful he was at women. maybe his artistic core really did crave discourse, as i think we all agree his only loyal life long lover is music.

thank you for the link

Hey doesn't anyone here know if Prince attended her wedding to Eric Benet? I see someone in a Facebook group I'm in talking about Prince went to her wedding to EB. I am thinking he did not.

-/I doubt he went to her wedding if he stopped speaking to her.

Do we know for sure he stopped speaking to her though? She's sure trying very hard to make it seem like they had an ongoing friendship.

lavie said:

That temporary support would have been taken care of before the divorce finalized. Besides, if she was already with benet, why would she need support? He wasn't poor.

--/According to Dr. Funkenberry Prince refused to take her calls and he took the message to him. He also said months ago that Prince left her with no money or means of support until she went to court to get temporary spousal support.

This was not a long term marriage.

P married her at the end of 2001.

P locked her out of the house in May 2005.

3+ years of marriage.

Short term marriages are usually settled quickly, and without fanfare.

It took a year to settle his divorce.

That means she was asking for more than what P thought she should have.

P owned the house prior to the marriage so she did not have a marital interest in it.

If he wanted to bulldoze the house, so be it.

There is a reason the Judge redacted the financial terms of the Divorce Decree.
