Just gonna slide inconspicuously into this empty stool.....the Dilaudid (hydromorphone) connection has perked my ears.

True...but it is confusing because dilaudid wasnt found at PP.

it's called hiding behind God. (have no idea if thats what happened here but i grew up in church) How would they not know...how would anyone not know..if someone had a pill addiction that bad. every single person in this whole group has to be looked at with skepticism due to the fact that somewhere in this circle was probably the supplier...*and of course I think it was kirk johnson, but you never know...also the chauffeur included...and past associates...and everyone who knew...and anyone in the little town of chanhassen...Prince was not his own supplier. Do you think?

To take that one more step....

Why is LG getting a pass here? It’s possible that he supplied P with the drugs, maybe to control him, make P dependent on him so P could try to resurrect his sorry a$$ career. What about Chaka? LG is the one who basically told Mani years ago she did’t know what she was talking about when she express concern that her HUSBAND was using drugs, and told her not do anything.

.

Something’s wrong with this whole picture… the whole JW cult thing, LG so holy, P like a puppy following LG and LG 'hipping' P to the Truth. All just weird. P was never the same guy once he got hooked up with LG. The swear jar, the Jahova talk… P was living his life a lie by trying to be something he wasn’t , it was crushing his real personality, people change but don’t make a 180 like that, and that had to take a toll on him emotionally.

.

Come on? LG’s the biggest moocher of them all. You might say to an extent he basically broke up both of P’s marriages… all to keep him in line in the ‘church’ and selfishly to promote LG himself….LG boxed P into a corner with regards to how he was 'supposed' to run his life. The first thing a brainwasher does is make the subject chnage his daily life. That is what LG did and P was trapped.

.

I think Josh and Hannah brought religion from a different viewpoint and P probably welcomed that.

.

Hope I don’t get snipped, don’t mean to offend anyone…. but I have to let it out. ~DD55

WOW, DD, GREAT POINTS...you're absolutely correct...things went downhill BIG TIME for Prince when he hooked up with LG....and LG's DISMISSAL of Mani's concerns is both heartless and cruel...with 'friends' and 'spiritual brothers' like that, Prince didn't need enemies. What church was LG touting? The church of Satan?

I'll concede. However, it WAS found in his urine so it was in his possession at some point. Was as a filler in the illicit pills?

Ah, you're doing the digging. Good work. If you keep this up you might just break down the door of the " he only used fentanyl just that one time" crowd.

I attended the concert at Target Center and I don’t regret it one bit. It was a joyous celebration of the man and his music. You want all these people to go away...then what? Do we stop celebrating the man and his music? Shut down Paisley Park? This whole weekend in Minneapolis was a celebration. Not a focus on how he died or what issues he was dealing with and who knew what and who needs to be called out etc. I don’t think he’d want us to wallow in his death and I certainly don’t think he’d want his private struggles all there in a zip file for people to download. I want to celebrate everything he gave us while he was alive. That’s why I’m happy to see an official website go up and excited that new music will be coming out this fall. 💜

I will agree with you on this point.

We need to keep his legacy alive and it will come from passing it on to the younger generation.

Certainly the chucking out of the cussing records from the vault was JW inspired, and by association LG.

Don't you think there is good coming out of all of this? The liars and scammers are being exposed. No one ever wanted to see this, but Prince is no longer here because people wanted to protect his privacy. In reality, had Prince got himself into treatment years ago, he would have been better off -- and none of his business would be out there right now. But, I look at all of this as a blessing from God above, because all these liars and thieves are being exposed for who they truly are. God works in mysterious ways. That's how I look at it.

Maybe it makes people feel good to believe associates are being exposed. But Sheila was at Celebration this year, Kirk was on stage playing drums at Target Center concert and tours with the NPG so... Anyway I think it’s just sad and tragic all around. Whatever his struggles were if he wanted the public/fans to know about it he would have shared it. Now it seems so dirty and a massive invasion of privacy.

Please....those associates have been exposed to the Prince fans on paper since last week. If it wasn't for Prince fans, people wouldn't know who they are. As Prince fans we need to step up to the plate and not support these azz's any longer. They no longer get our $$ maybe they'll go away. The media needs to start putting the heat on them and we do too. Turn up the heat and watch them sweat.

Very good points. And any religion that subscribes to the "live your life in fear of letting the truth about your life be known" is a religion based on the works of man, not God. I'll stop right there. Who was Prince trying to impress? God sees all and knows all, and has unconditional love. OK, i'll quit.

Talk about projection...

I have to be honest. I didn't know Prince other than his music. But I strongly believe all who and what he was is in his music. I can't see him being happy with the way people have been acting. Prince lived a great life and I'm sure he was happy most of the time. I've met a few people that have delt with him. Even Sharon's ex boyfriend that lived in Brooklyn. Everyone didn't agree with all the things that he did but he was respected by most. I'm sure he would be disapointed with all the messyness. Let's love the music and the man for what he gave us. His gift out weighted his flaws. IMO, he didn't have any other than being human same as all of us.

I don't know if it's usual and customary that hospitals test meds of OD patients, but except in the case where the hospital should have tested the pill, but didn't, this attorney is just trying to get a large piece of the Prince Estate pie. Heirs be aware of greedy attorneys. Sometimes it's best to just let some things go.

The hospital's comeback will be that Prince refused to allow them to run further tests on him. I think that this lawsuit is risky at best.

Dr. Schulenberg is lucky; only had to pay a 30K fine, which is pocket-change for a doctor! I always give people the benefit of the doubt, and I'm sure he was only trying to help Prince, but he took a big risk writing Rxs in Kirk's name, knowing they were for Prince.

.

I think he regrets that now -- he even said, he never wanted to be a celebrity doctor.

Do we really think this was the only time dr S wrote a prescription for prince via Kirk? I wonder if they even checked to see what prescription had been written for Kirk over the years?

Yes, it sounds like they did do checks like that... because one of the doctors that wrote something supposedly, specifically for Kirk was interviewed.

Purplebflogirl said:

Kirk is still riding the purple gravy train.IMHO they are suing the wrong entities..And everyone who lived in P's properties from 4/21 on should be paying fair market rent..Even Tyka. Take it out of her inheritance.

They are all paying rent now, I believe. One of the three witches made a fuss over some of them living rent free (and then got a smack from karma when she was refused a house after she wanted one and it had already been put up for sale).

DD55 said:

Penny, you are totally correct, it’s all public record. They probably released it all at once because they knew they would be filling FOIL requests for years to come. So they put it all out there in stead of having full time staff spend time releasing it bit by bit.

~DD55

Like I said I don’t care that it’s public record. I wish it wasn’t. What public good is coming from this? All it’s doing is making fans more sad/angry/sick to their stomach. It certainly isn’t providing closure. The stupid family lawsuit doesn’t help matters. I’m just glad Prince isn’t here to see his private struggles available as a zip file for anyone to download.

Actually, I would disagree with that as it provided closure for me personally being able to look over things and understand how it happened.

Yes...

I wondered how come there wasnt a way to get them anyway

Certainly under the circumstances there would be a way to get those deleted files ?

I think the WHole Police team were a bunch of country bumpkins who were way out of their league
