Other interviews allege the famous singer exhibited a controlling nature...
Prince, controlling? Nooooo.
Jokes aside, the punching accusation is horrible. But if everyone else is going to say he was controlling and yelled at them, That's kinda obvious.
The film allegedly includes an interview with Prince’s ex-lover Jill Jones, who recalls a night in which he slapped and repeatedly punched her in the face. Another past relationship, Susannah Melvoin, reportedly told filmmakers that after she moved in with the musician, he monitored her phone calls, told her not to leave the house and tried to keep her separated from her sister. In another interview, his ex-wife, Mayte Garcia, allegedly recalls being left alone after her and Prince’s child died.
Not a single bit of this is surprising to me.
Also, Prince was unbelievably weird. Ask Kevin Smith.
I just watched the documentary (joking, mostly) Purple Rain again a couple weeks ago and the Kid (Prince’s character) is definitely abusive to his love interest. He plays cruel pranks on her, gaslights her, and publicly humiliates her. But it’s all okay because he’s Prince and they’re probably in love.
Yeah, it's a rough one to watch today.
