‘Jubilant’ from that pic?!
To me that looks more like Damaris (who seems to me to have conducted herself impeccably since Prince’s passing) is somehow managing to maintain her composure, whilst supporting Phaedra, who seems overcome with grief and misery.
Phaedra’s anguish and distress in this pic certainly seems to me to be pretty incongruous with the alleged ‘vulture’ that one or two or my fellow orgers seem to be portraying. Yet another budding Katherine Hepburn in the Prince camp? I must say it seems that Prince had a rare talent for unintentionally unearthing thespian talent. Yes ..Phaedra looks the "Jubliant Judas" part ...crocidolite tears and all,just Look her past up it's all there. As well as what Appolonia has said. Phaedra fits the part https://www.facebook.com/...71654125:0 [Edited 4/29/18 12:25pm] | |

I'm surprised that no statement was taken from Demaris, since she was a close friend. | |

"The enemy sends people into our lives just as God does. Be wise enough to know who to let in and who to let go." "The devil will walk into a room with tears and will try to make you feel sorry for him." You said these exact words to me in 2014. "Jubilant Judas fakes tears." | |

I really wish that prince could have found skilled, trustworthy people to partner with over the long term on his business needs. Like how Springsteen’s has had Jon Landau for close to 40 years. Or I was watching a video of Jodie Foster at an event the other day where she thanked her agent of four decades. That kind of thing. I think the reasons prince didn’t have that are largely (not entirely) due to his own psychology. But the revolving door of marginally qualified people in a chaotic environment did him no favors I think.

I got that impression also. He obviously was not a business person. He needed someone to manage the entire staff and who also had experience in personnel management. For instance, several of the people interviewed said that they left because of the workload. A good general manager would know that they needed more people or needed to prioritize and plan out tasks - things of that nature. Prince should have invested in hiring a business consulting firm to evaluate the work and personnel needs of Paisley Park and make recomendations on org structure, how many employees are needed, and to define the various job responsibilites.

Apollonia has been spending some time in Hawaii (her seond home) for the past couple of months. She posted a pic about Earth Day that Tyka "liked." Pretty unusual because it's not common for Tyka to do that on Apollonia's IG. It clearly was a subtle message from Tyka that she's watching her ... although a couple days later Apollonia posted that cryptic message about "they rocked him to sleep all behind his back" | |

Good point, Pete, none of us should forget that nothing was 'conventional' with Prince since the beginning...it was always his way. | |

. . I remember Prince had tweeted or IG something like "Even with eyes this large, I still can't watch you all the time." . . Who was he referring to?

. She teamed-up with JayZ now, and started some other organization now. . “Most people are unaware that more than 70 percent of people in jails haven’t been convicted of anything,” said Phaedra Ellis-Lamkins, the entrepreneur who co-founded the California-based business with a social mission. . “They are awaiting trial and locked up simply because they lack funds for bail ... Our goal is to use technology to create scale to keep many people out of jail,” she told the Thomson Reuters Foundation. . https://www.reuters.com/a...SKBN1HX2QE .

. Apples posted that on her twitter a while back, after Prince died. She said she had a talk with Prince one time, and that is what he said to her.

FlyOnTheWall: .
Actually, I'm glad the OP started this thread because Phaedra's name is taking quite a beating these days, especially since Debra Johnson's interview was made public. It should be known that Phaedra was seeking to make sure that her name was removed as manager of NPG Records. Now, why she ever held that role, to begin with, is another question, altogether; however, assuming Prince was of sound mind, he must have approved that arrangement. That Estate thread is so long and unwieldy that it is very time-consuming to navigate and follow. .------->>
To reply.....: Just because Prince put Phaedra in-charge of Mgr of NPG Records, does not prove she was trustworthy. From what I've been reading from the investigation, Phaedra was good at manipulating people, and perhaps even Prince. He was probably impressed with her intellect and her business savvy mind, and so he trusted her. Lots of people are good at putting an act on--it does not mean they are ethical. . It appears she was doing something shady.

I think far too much has been made of Apples statement over the last couple of years. I always thought it sounded more like him trying to give her advice than his own situation. Obviously at some point, being famous for so long, he will have had to deal with people who pretend to be your friend but would stab u in the back. It isn't about anyone in particular, just a sad reflection on celebrity and fake friends im afraid! There's always a rainbow 🌈 , at the end of every rain ☔️ | |

Appolonias facebook pg it is in the link I had posted above. She says this is something Prince told her... I don't understand why he would have kept her around knowing her background...either he didn't do a background check on her or she was being very manipulative with him. Either was it seems he knew. | |

. We really have no way of knowing what he meant or why he said that. Apples would know.

Perhaps Prince was referring to someone who was actually trying to help him. How do we know? He misdirected suspicion and paranoia in his time for sure. Love the guy, but he was far from perfect, and shunned people who got too close, whether they meant well or not.
I did feel like some of his camp were keeping information from the police, and didn't like that. But we don't know what the truth is exactly about who supplied him those pills. Heck, he could have ordered them online himself, but I'm guessing he put it in someone else's name if he did.
Feels wrong to drag people through and question their grief because of some comment he allegedly made about some mystery person. | |
