Free Sheila, she did nothing wrong. She is sane and pure at heart... and always has been! An angel sent down to earth. #Justice4Sheila #WhenWillTheMadnessEnd? #KooKoo

GOOD!

At every turn, the legacy of Prince gets pointed in the wrong direction.

Anyone notice how she made his birthday about herself?

We expected it. That whole CBS special was about her. She was wearing his clothes, had his all over her gear, suddenly had a tattoo, and tried to edge out The Revolution playing at all. It was Jimmy Jam that had to jerk a knot in her tail about it. She acts like she's the grieving widow. She needs to grab a seat. Grab them all.

Gal never got over Prince, the way many others had to, I'm afraid.

She wasn't refused access to be in the studio. Just refused access to do a quick video check in/livestream etc

The only thing that would be less surprising than this is if a news report came out saying the Estate has devloved into petty in-fighting with no releasese imminent.

Remember, she made The Revolution AUDITION to appear in that CBS special (she didn't want them there).
NOW, she's demanding her "old drum set" back that apparently was on display at some point at Paisley.

Too much drama. NO ONE could show up unnannounced (especially on one of the busiest days of the year) and demand access to Studio A or B to film a video...with a small crew.
She DID enter. People saw her. Apparently, she interacted wityh no one and just left to do parking lot drama.

Definitely some unresolved issues here...

That is actually so juicy. It really lays out a good timeline of her utter fuckery. I have the screenshots of her last tweets about Prince somewhere, as well as Apollonia's lambasting her.

I don't know about her spot being given to Graham or whatever, but I think the Grammy situation and the "Lemon Cake" fuckery shows her disregard for anything but herself. She looked fucking stupid wearing his clothes, damn near pretending to be him.

Her place in 80s Princedom. That's it. I don't care that she was back around during 3121 or whatever. Prince had clearly had enough of her tomfoolery.

I love that the article mentions "grieving widow" which I started saying early on. (Not saying they took it from me, not saying they didn't. ) But it's true. The only thing she's grieving is - as Apollonia said - being relevant.

As far as the drumkit, if she sold it - too bad, heifer. "It's not yours anymore."

Very well said!! 1000% agree!

This could get ugly.Sheila is demanding that they give her back her drum set.What if the estate refuses to do so?

It was never her kit anyway, WB pai d for it through Prince.
The guy who bought it said the papers only mentioned WB and Prince and not Sheila E. so jsts becuause she played on it doesn't mean its hers.
Just because shje played on that Tama study kit a 't Paard show in '88 doesn't mean it's hers.

So, then why is she so insistent that it is her's?! There's a serious disconnect here...

This is all true, and she's certainly deserving of criticism.

But at the same time, I will give her credit because she's doing more than the Estate to promote Prince's legacy. Yes, she's mixing in a lot of self-promotion along with that. But I'll tolerate a bit of self-promotion if it helps keep Prince's name in spotlight. Until the Estate starts doing more, this is all we have.

I'm actually with Sheila for whatever happens since Prince's passing.

She's really the only other one besides Lisa, Ssuussaahhnnaahh & Wendy who litterally kicked him in the ass to go further!

Back in the day, if Prince did a step, Sheila did it with him!

When i saw the 2010 show in Berlin, i couldn't stop laughing & smiling because their cohesion was just soooo good!!!

Whatever drama has happened since then has floated right by me.

Well, I'll say on a larger scale, "doing more" is subjective. Feelings aren't facts. We feel like they should "do more," but we're not on the inside. We don't know what they're talking about, working on, fleshing out, etc. We'd love to know, but we simply don't.

And Sheila E. is no consolation prize in the perceived lack of promotion on the estate's part. We don't need her to promote anything. She wasn't around for W2A package, SOTT deluxe (was she?), or D&P. Her showing up would've done what? Validate her delusions of being the heir apparent?

Sorry not sorry, but we do have more than that.

I really never thought I'd have such angst against someone in the Prince camp, but goddamn if she just doesn't keep rubbing salt in the wound. She's no ally.

Totally agree with this. Most things I can dismiss, but the delusion is too much. Dishonesty is one of the worst traits.

Sheila!

"yeah?"

Have the choir hit a long note.

I suppose I could've boiled my vitriol about her down to that. Dishonesty. I hate people lying to me or liars in general. We get things wrong; we're human. But to lie with such intention and aggression is beyond, to me.

She knows she's lying and playing people. She knows the general public and media doesn't know that Prince called her a psychopath, and refused any contact with her in the last 5 or so years of his life. No, they see her on tour, playing with him at times, and think they were besties 24/7. She uses that, manipulates it to her favor.

That is dishonest behavior.

You all are right but realistically I'm gonna go see her live in September because I wanna hear Koo Koo live. Sorry. I'm a hater as much as the rest of us but a guy's gotta do what he's gotta do...
