I see the TMZ documentary has made it's way to the org. I was hoping that no one would give it any attention.

There are NO secrets. We know everything. We've read the investigative reports. We know what associates have said. We know he had a long-standing issue with pain control.

This is as trashy as those ridiculous Reelz "documentaries".

Well I wasn't gonna say anything but the most disturbing thing I heard throughout the entire thing, the news, etc was the guy who said "there's no reason to believe; this was a suicide"

that's when I knew we were enterring into some real twilight zone zones.

Is this that REELZ bullshit.

This is not news or newsworthy. It's always been trash, it's always gonna be trash. Y'all need to get away from everything and everyone that randomly slaps Prince's name on the front of it to get your time, dollars, and brain power.

Not to open up this can of worms again, but that's half the problem. There's been a lot of fuel to the fire, and a fair amount of the associates themslves raised questions.

I'm just glad I'm here to watch it! Wow.

Okay.

It was very respectful to Prince as a human being. They went out of their way to stress Prince was not your typical drug addict but someone that used medication to continue working. Not for pleasure. Like any human with chronic pain. He took it to keep going, As a Prince fan I definitely recommend it. (There's only one error. As I am a former JW. One of those interviewed said Jehovah's Witnesses don't believe in surgery. That isn't true. They don't believe in blood transfusions).

Okay who's watching the documentary?

It started out as one thing and it turns into a Toure' show.

Anyway, it's not over yet. i'm still watching it.

Yeah and that's just dumb if you think about it, what if your blood is ill and you have surgery you're just basically putting your own infected blood back into your body but if it's a matter of you don't know what or whose blood you would be getting a transfusion from well that's just racist. I'm not saying it's not a valid thing to be concerned about. I'm saying there's as many current JW's as there are former JW's.

Let us know if there's any new info I guess.

I doubt it.

There's as much new info in the documentary as there is on this website.

So the estate is no longer under probate, Now we get TMZ show. Wonder who signed off on that?

TMZ duh

If they had done the documentary in the theme of the kid voices in place of adult voices like in that gummy bear commercial that would have been much more enjoyable.

That's all I can tell you.

And now that's what I want to do. I want to remake it like that.

I'm also really excited to watch all the other shows available on the Tubi network.

So thanks Prince!!!!

TMZ had access to all this info years ago, what would make now so special to release this. From the looks of it this was put together a few years ago. I see it's more a cautionary tale regarding the opioid crisis. So I'm assuming some permission from the estate was needed.

What makes anything at anytime special enough to release it?

I'm assuming that's a really good question.

I just released my phone into the world because it's lost.

I saw the reaction over Prince's death anything but a cautionary tale because grief effects everybody in different ways.

I am not convinced that the fan community as a whole is as connected as we may have wanted to believe (at least not in any way connected with this website) but the fact we consider or considered it something in the first place is significant.

If you love something set it free,

if it doesn't return,

it was never meant to be,

if it does, love it forever.

As far as I'm concerned I'm taking over.

No, TMZ would not need persmission from the Estate to do an expose.

agree. i'm not entirely pleased with this work

Some people who have watched it said that Sheila E confirmed that his problem started in the 80's due to injuries during shows, Manuela said that he was dealing with pain issues while he was married to her.

A video of him falling onstage once was shown.

Sheila E. is not a reliable historian.

Every musician trips and falls on stage. Prince is no different. "Shown once" is ambiguous and a non-statement.

Sheila E. is not a doctor, and while Prince probably had general pain of someone who did so much athletic stuff, he was also athletic. He worked out, kept himself toned, and he was always moving. He had stamina and knew how to take care of himself.

Prince called Sheila a psychopath, and booted her out of his life in the last 5 or 6 years of his life. Yet she shows up to Paisley Park like the grieving queen widow or something. She's been an embarassment ever since, wearing his clothes, putting his trademarked symbol everywhere to promote her shows or whateverthefuck it is she's doing.

Sheila's really done a great job of almost like Forrest Gump levels of retconning, re-inserting, re-purposing herself into all moments of the Prince history reel scrapbook snapshots as far as public perception of Prince goes.

Some of these live reaction videos the casuals are like, "DAMN who's that on drums, Sheila E.?" "Where's Sheila E.?" on like Gold Experience era videos, "When's Sheila E.'s drum solo kick in?" Oh, oh Sheeila--.

--"He wrote that one about Sheila E. right? Maan, that was his best hit by far.. "Adore" was about Sheila too, right?." Sheila, Sheila, Sheila.

Then it'll be like Adele performing "Purple Rain" at like the BAFTA's and-- whoah, hey, wait, is that Sheila on drums? yep and nnnow she's doing the "Housequake" medley....

"He was married twice?"

"Okay, Sheila E. and who else?

WhisperingDandelions said:

I swear I wrote that Sheila post and then went to YouTube, literally the next vid dude pauses on Sheila E:

"A few people have said he was actually married to her for a bit,"

Can't make this up.

Gotta hand it to her, she went on that full court media press tour and promoted that phantom engagement better than Prince ever promoted one of his albums. Mainstream public knows "Purple Rain" first, Sheila E. marriage second.
