The Most Beautiful: My Life with Prince

by Mayte Garcia

I’d get on his bus silently praying, Please, tell me we’re eating. I was reluctant to ask him to feed me after the pay-docking incident.

Like I know it’s prince and all but fuck all of this

doves—oh! I got to kiss a dove! Where do you even go for dreams after you kiss a dove?

Weird that this is her high point but oooookay

So that’s all I’m going to say about it, other than this word of advice to twentysomethings: Patience pays off.

This is a bad fuckin take. Dude groomed a child and was basically abusive af and her takeaway is “waiting is good?” Gtfo

Probably because I was looking at a woman.

A week ago you wrote “not a virgin smiley face” in your diary and now you are trying to convince us you’re grown? 🙄🤭

some guy ripped off my shirt. But that’s rock and roll. All in a day’s work, right?

No?!

and lifetimes and emotional truth. Under his hypnosis, I could finally speak about the family I wanted

This is such bs. “We loves each other so much” she claims but uhhh couldn’t TALK to him about stuff? Pass

role in creating something very cool. Besides, I already had a secret plan to rehire most of the dancers after I fired them.

This is a dick move and shows zero agency on her part

there was a long pause. And then he said, “Will you marry me?” “Um… what?” Probably not the response he was looking for, but I was kind of shocked. This wasn’t

ON THE FUCKING PHONE? Get out

but I was moved by how much he cared about every detail of this wedding.

Why? To him it sounds like just another performance and completely impersonal

saw each other was at the concert in Barcelona on July 25, 1990.

This doesn’t add up, she’s 22 now and 5 years ago would have been 17. They met when she was 16.

what I’d do when I did get pregnant and couldn’t tour with him for a while, I went to the office and said, “You can take me off the payroll since I’m his wife

FOOLISH

“If there’s something wrong,” my husband said, “it’s God’s will. Not because we didn’t prepare.” “I told you months ago—there’s something wrong.” “I’m taking her home.” “Sir, you’re not letting me do my job. She needs to stay in the hospital.”

Prince sounds like a goddamn idiot I’m sorry

told him, “I like this. It’s just like when I was sixteen.”

So not 17.

On the cold white page of a medical text, Pfeiffer syndrome type 2 is a genetic disorder that causes skeletal and systemic abnormalities. Craniosynostosis is the premature fusing of the bones in the skull, sometimes resulting in “cloverleaf skull,” in which the eyes are located outside the sockets. Brachydactyly is the fusion of bones in the hands and feet, causing a webbed or pawlike appearance. Anal atresia is the absence of an anus, indicating life-threatening abnormalities in the colon and bowels.

So just to be clear they forced this life into being because prince thought god was more important than medicine? “If something is wrong” “we told you months ago something was wrong”

husband came and said, “It’s done. They took the tubes out.” “What? No! I’m supposed to be there!” “I didn’t know if you could handle it.” “I’m going. Right now. If no one wants to take me, I’ll drive.” He put his arms around me.

Prince is a controlling asshole

lay on the bed, sweating from fever, shaking from shock and chills. I had an infection. A doctor came. I heard her talking to my husband. Their voices were quiet but tense. “She needs to go back to the hospital.” “No. God’s hand is on her. She’ll be fine.”

JESUS PRINCE GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER

date younger women, I think his preference was more than physical; it was about the power balance.

NO SHIT????

“She says I need a D&C,” I told my husband. “Dilation and curettage. It removes the lining of the uterus so you don’t hemorrhage.” “Nature will take its course if you let it.” “But nature isn’t always—”

Wow prince u are a goddamn idiot

I think this is proof that he loved me and didn’t want to lose me.

Girl no

if I’d taken Gia to meet him, would he still be alive?

Probably not the man was addicted to painkillers

the elevator

Isn’t the lyric “de-elevator”?
