Mayte wasn't around when he burned the ashes. Mayte implied that it was years later.

The Mojica Sisters. Arlene was her personal assistant, and Erlene was her (I believe) nanny. THey're the ones that sold the story to tabloids in '96-'97. Prince and Mayte then filed restraining orders against them.

If you listen to I Wanna Melt With U and for the most part the whole storyline of The Lovesymbol Album falls in line with this.

I get that the song is about her, but I guess I didn't know that he was her guardian. I find that so strange that her parents would just hand her over like a piece of property.

i'd never heard that either. Priscilla's parents let her stay with Elvis too, it's crazy how starstruck people get.

She is saying she only found out recently that he had guardianship of her. Nothing about adopting her. The problem is kids go off to college at 17.5 and they do not need a guardian. Makes no sense at all and I would love to see someone dig into the court papers to find out if this is even true.

Also she said before she was 18 when she came to work for him. So the story keeps changing.

Was it partly a work permit issue? She was too young to work for him? I don't know maybe they lived in Paisley too? Guess we will have to read that book to find out how that worked.

Several things stand out to me after reading the excerpts.. Prince's faith was amazingly strong. An amino would not of made a difference in the child's condition..Some idiots will probably think he was wrong not to agree to it. Her parents basically gave her to Prince at 17.He didn't touch her until she was 19.He was a gentleman.

This is how I see it too...

Also by not having the Amnio, Prince avoided having to make a decision that many people of faith would not want to make.

The so called advancement of Modern medicine, gives us the option of Killing our babies in the womb...Prince instead fully surrendred to Gods will...WOW....

It appears he was not going to go for an abortion and I get the impression that she is upset that she did not have that option. These two were not equaly yoked and should not have been married.

He had faith and accepted God's will and she still cannot accept God's will.

I think we forget sometimes that Paisley is not a just a house. Didn't they say that the upstairs has Prince's suite but also several rooms that resemble hotel rooms up there as well? I also read that musicians lived there too. It was an entourage. She might have been one of many people living there.

And being someone's guardian and adopting them are different, and I have seen both in print. Obviously her parents were willing to do what ever it took to get her married to him.

Yes it's all over the news, leading with the headline prince had his sons ashes burned...and they forgot to add "she thinks"

Why I can't defend her or the book. Beyond disgusting.

He is also being called a pedophile in certain places. A pervert. A rapist. This is just for starters, due to the "love story". Who knows what comes next when the full book is released

There were problems with the baby while in utero. I think Prince did not want to accept the reality of the many doctors advice that problems with the baby were showing up. Or that Prince was in denial and figured he would control the outcome of a healthy baby.

Sounds like most of the book is belloni. She thinks Prince burn the baby's ashes but plaster Prince's love symbols on her body.

It seems as if both of them change the narrative of events to fit the story they want told. How many half truths and inaccuracies are there about Prince and now it seems as if some things she is now saying are contradictory to what she has said before.

.

I have compassion for Mayte, Loosing a baby can certainly test ones faith...However accepting Gods will can immediately take away most of the Pain associated with such a thing.

Prince seemed to be very expert at living in the moment, and allowing his faith to guide him. Some people, those who dont undertand the full power of Faith and Prayer may interpret his actions around this as being Cold, or being in denial (ie Oprah Winfrey Show) but others, will find inspiration and hope in his behaviour.

God promises to carry your Burdens if you let him.

At the end of the day, Thats the bottom line

Dr Funkenberry seems to have turned on the book.

Go to his instagram page.

https://www.instagram.com...unkenberry

Comments connected to the photo of the magazine cover....the first comment is him asking for a copy because he is too sick to go out and get one. The second comment has him stating that he has changed his mind about the book and he will go into the reasons in his podcast.

Wasn't he supportive of it earlier?.

I strongly Disagree with you Luv4u

Prince was very ready to accept the reality, he was fearless .

Imagine yourself in this situation...Doctors are telling you there is a possibility that something is wrong with your child.There is a procedure that will tell you for sure, however it carries the risk that your child will spontaneously abort.If that doesnt happen, you will know to what extent your child is handicapped, in which case you have an option to approve a medicatl abortion, which is just a fancy word for " you can kill your baby before its born "

Allowing the baby to come to full term despite knowing that there were real problems, is an act of faith.

Further, turning off the babys life support, was a tremendous act of Love and compassion.

Prince was not in denial..

He was entirely willing to experience the consequences of whatever reality manifested.

We are allowed to disagree if we are polite about it, right Luv ?

And she thinks he burned the ashes of her child in a backyard bonfire and she is still in love with him???

That is the thing you stans cannot seem to understand. How insane is to carrying on about a man who burned your stuff and moved you out of the country? Who paraded his side piece around in front of you? Why would you care about him at all. She is either crazy or just trying to use him after 20 years to get a check. What is sad is she will not make much money off the book but will look like a fool in front of the public. I also know that she knew that excerts would be taken out of context by the media so she is out to smear him becaue she did not end up with him. Is it me or is this stalker behavior?

Most of the stuff she alleges she hads no proof of or seems unsure of. What is really the point of this book? I need to vent but I cannot do it at my doctor's office and actually get help but I can keep telling the same story for 20 years to the public and it will heal me? . What about her parents are they so greedy they do not mine being made to look like pimps in front of the entire free world.

I think Prince was a brillant artist and visionary but he made bad choices with women. He married two who I do not think really cared for him and treated the ones who would jump thru a burning ring of fire for him like crap. I think he had some self worth issues and unfortunalty got involved with a women that had even worst self-worth issues then he had.

It is a terrible stituation for all which should have ended when he passed away.

Taking an under-18 out of the country without their parent might be a problem though. It was perhaps related to that. Someone would have to be able to consent to medical procedures if needed, or something, I think. I'm not sure, since I've never been out of the country myself, let alone with an under 18er, but I could see how that would be a thing. It's weird, sure, but not out of the realm of weird things one might have to do when traveling the world with kids of various ages.

I remember on the reality show she had an issue with Jessica Canseco having a abortion.

From what I have read so far, I don't think things she said are being taken out of context in the media, I think they are being reported as they were written by her. This is all on her, if she thinks she has been burdened by the "knowing the truth" of her relationship with prince for 20 years, wait till she feels the burden of her public purge, I think it will be much much heavier, she will regret this, the money won't last long.

Well the daily mail is doing this with their headlines. They are making him look like a rapist with the guardianship at 17. When in the book she does make it clear he did not make a move on her until she was 19 making it clear he was a gentlemen. I will give her credit for that.

Because it is belloni, just a couple of years she was trying to get into his concerts, she was not talking about ashes then.

Mayte could used a ghostwriter. A lot of celebrities use ghostwriters to write their books. If someone wants to get into the writing industry as a writer, being a ghostwriter is where it at. A person might sign away their rights and might or might see their name in a book (like mystery author James Patterson he uses a ghostwriter but he often gives his ghostwriters credit) but the income can be steady if your material is good.

That is why I was thinking, 'I wish that was true' when people are saying she is cashing in and is going to make money as if she is going to make millions. She would be lucky if she get part-time income off this book after the publisher, agent, lawyer, possibly ghostwriter, and Uncle Sam gets their cut.

Yeah same happened to author Zora Neale Hurston. She shared Ayn's libertarian views but she also had to use goverment assistance toward the end of her life and died so broke that her family couldnt get a tombstone (Alice Walker had to buy her tombstone years later after she discovered her writings).

ya, it's not wealth but it's enough money for people to go through the trouble of writing books. and i'm positive she had a ghostwriter, a book is a huge project and she never did come across as being on the dean's list if you know what i mean.

Lets put it this way. If Mayte was a solo singer, she would make more money doing 20 gigs in some European country than selling books. And sometimes people write books because they love and have passion for writing not for the money. Just like some musicians make albums they never released because they love playing music.

According to who? Why do you believe everything you read? It doesn't sound like M1 has much first hand knowledge of the things she put in this book.

The book isn't classified as fiction.....
