My Verdict On Mayte's Proposed 'Tell-All' Book

So Mayte Garcia has decided to release a biography, detailing her marriage to Prince with her spokesman insinuating a possible Christmas release. Prince Fam are split on the news. Some think she's within her rights to tell 'her story', whilst many think she stood keep schtum about her relationship with Prince and stop trying to keep relevant and making money off his name.

Prince and Mayte (marital bliss)

When the news broke out last month that Mayte was writing a "tell-all" book, I was angry at first, but not surprised. An earlier interview with the Daily Mirror suggested thirst (no disrespect intended) for public relevance as 90 per cent of the published article referred to Prince and their relationship; how strange it was, how it "messed her up", but she'll always love him because "he's a great guy" yet she 'refuses to be known as merely "Princes ex-wife"'.

Mayte's Exclusive Interview With The Daily Mirror June 13th 2015

Since her marriage to Prince ended in 2000, Mayte has carved a career for herself as an actress, choreographer, as well as a cast member of reality show Hollywood Exes. She has a leading role coming up in a new US TV series, so my question is Why Now? If you've got good things going on in your life and your more than just the ex wife of a musical legend, why are you dragging up the dirt of a marriage that ended 15 years ago and gave you a foot in the door of your career?

Mayte; Older, Still Beautiful But Is She Wiser?

Most readers of this book will be read by Prince fans or people who want an insight of the enigma because (with no disrespect intended – part 2) she's not known widely for anything else but being his former dancer and wife. As a fan, I want to know how this genius unwinds when music is constantly flowing through his veins, stories that reflect his sense of humour, the inspirations behind all of his songs and such as. I don't want to read the nitty gritty details of his sex life and personal secrets he may be embarrassed by. Mayte may always love him, but just detailing the scripted "perfect picture" will not sell books. Publishers want the dirt, the weirdness, the story that will blow the public perception of Prince apart. I'm not saying he doesn't have his faults and hasn't screwed with the emotions of a few people off over the years, but in my opinion, if Prince treated her good during their relationship, no matter how weird it was, and she genuinely still loves and respects him, why would she need to sell-out on him?

Prince to Mayte - "So you wanna write books now, huh?"

One thing I know for certain though, if this book trashes Prince, she will face the wrath of his ever-loyal fans. Many whom have supported her following their divorce. The majority of her own fan base are Prince fans, so no matter how many hot roles she has lined up, 'diss the Prince and you will be dismissed'. Another thing... By promising a "tell-all" book, Mayte has stamped her story. Should (and I hate this thought) Prince die before she does, she can do TV interviews, reveal unseen photos, but there will be no extra bits to add to the story of her life with him, as she's told it ALL to everyone already.
