I saw that this morning too. I wouldn't quite call it a "relationship". It was more like a two day encounter.

There is no reason to put the words strange and weird in quotation marks. That shit IS strange and weird. It's not his business who she used to date under any circumstances, but especially if there is no relationship. Prince is a fucking weirdo. You hang out with a lady two or three times, you watch her on TV and repeatedly ask her about her dating history? That's creepy. That might be a conversation a couple might have in a relationship, but even then not after two or three hangs when the person was clearly only comfortable sharing that it was in the past. How about if the situation was flipped and SHE started asking HIM who a certain song was about? You'd be saying SHE was out of line. Prince was a weirdo. At times he was creepy. Accept it and deal with it.

He's Prince. There's some well earned narcissism there. He's just spent two days courting someone and her mind is on an ex that she brings up on air after he's just spent the better part of two days with her.

We can only speculate what aspect of that he didn't like...the loose lips and fact that she references ex's on air.... the fact that her mind isn't consumed with him... the fear she's actually talking about him... maybe for Prince it felt like someone bringing up an ex on the date......there are some other scenarios but they're not creepy or stalkery, they're just him being touchy, overly sensitive flower.

He also might have heard things in their conversations that contributed to reacting that way, and was a red flag she wasn't going to be his next Ananda Lewis.

I guess this took place after Mayte and before Manuela..(?). That is a weird story, but thanks for posting it. Never knew about that one.

How can that be when Mayte and M2 overlapped?

Well, if they went to see TLC in concert, then maybe it was in the late 90's..(?). Possibly around the time when he guested on "The View" when Lisa was still on the show..(?). We all know P moved in mysterious ways when it came to the ladies.

I read Ling's story. It must have been a weird experience for her, but I don't think that anything strange or unusual went on. He had his reasons for asking about why she was gonna go on the air and talk about somebody that could be traced to her and outed for whatever thing she felt the need to describe. He didn't want that and that was the end of their "discussions!"

funny story Prince was strange at times

I'm sorry but.... What? "Spent two days courting her"? "Well earned narcissism"? What a ridiculous and, yes, strange, creepy, weird, stalkery point of view. Prince didn't earn any narcissism at all in his life and he definitely didn't earn any sort of ownership or presumption over a woman he met two days ago or ever.

I didn't describe ownership, or presumption, you're projecting something I won't touch.

Every stayed up all night as an adult talking? Two days in a row? The days blur together.

Ever read about how Prince courted women he was really interested in? They describe a lot of talking. He put effort into knowing them.

Ever been around a genius, succesful in their fields or massive household name celebrity? Everything they do has a hint of narcissism, and when you interact with people, you generally have empathy for them because their realities are warped. Some situations it works to be grounded and treat them like people, others you need to cater to their identity and image or they react poorly, and yeah, if you're flirting with them, it matters. You can't get why Prince had an ego or believed his own hype and needed women to validate his image for him? He wanted women to put on the illusion they were intoxicated with him. He expected she would feel like Cinderella at the ball.

You want to date a Prince you can't talk about the random Joe from your past and sound hung up on them on national TV the next day, and wonder why he reacted poorly or walked.

That's not ownership, or stalking, and it isn't "presumption over a woman", it's Prince wanting to feel special, and feel like he's being treated special like he's... Prince.


If you answer, don't come at me making personal insults about my point of view.

Two days of interaction like that is limerence at best. You still don't get the right to control how they speak. And btw, she was on a tv show that talks about shit so if men or exes or whatever came up, it's her job to fucking talk about it. Not excuse herself from the table because Prince's fragility can't handle non-virgins or independent women.

Where in the story does he control how she speaks? You're adding that. He simply reacts to it and apparently loses interest.

Is it possible you've never seen the View? Because that reads like you've never seen the View.

As for Prince not being able to handle independent women or needing virgins..... not taking the bait.

did the same thing again when talking about her experience with Prince also.

That's a really good point.

I don't get the drama around here about this. Everyone knows that Prince was very guarded about his intimate relationships. There are dozens of TV interviews where he had clearly told people not to ask him personal questions, and even jokes he made about walking off if they did.

I don't see why it's so weird that he would call her and ask her why she was talking about someone from her past on TV. He was worried she would do the same thing with him.

Which she just did. No wonder he dropped her like a rock. (Oh, and I doubt he really wanted to try on her shoes -- talk about weird!)

Yeah, he was turned off, and it turns out his insticts were really good at that point in his life.

Of all the Prince stories we've heard, it's rare it turns up with a headline of "weird" and "strange", because the people telling them don't present them that way even when they legit could have. The Zoe Kravitz story for one.

Prince was a weirdo admit it.
