[@iamlily01]

[@kaleoy7584]

I've always felt because of her extreme beauty, she was used a lot throughout her life. It was like a curse for her is what I believe. Prince used her, Hollywood used her and the church she belonged to used her as well. They all had ulterior motives. I am positive she lived the life of heartaches. And yes, I feel the church that she belonged to used her to try to bring in members. They would make sure wherever church she was scheduled to sermon at, they made sure she would be headlined on the lines of "Prince's ex-girlfriend, Vanity". Due to her constant visits to the hospital, racking up a major debt, the church never help pay off the debt. She died owing a lot of money. I believe deep down inside her, her heart trusted too much.

[@chrissimpson6701]

​@@kaleoy7584 I agree with you, she sat all 3 of these ladies down. She was a natural beauty. She may have died in debt, but Jesus took her soul with him, she made it, and she became a honorable woman. Prince never got over her death. I wonder did he say sorry to her? I heard he did her bad.

[@dorothydrake8838]

@@chrissimpson6701 I think the Prince before the loss of his baby and the Prince after the loss of his baby were very different men. Losing a child does that to you. I imagine Prince had second thoughts about the person he was in his early days, the music he sang, his interactions with people.

She knows how to answer questions without throwing people under the bus ( although she could ) , but she choose to still show grace and respect . These 3 ladies are amazingly respectful of Prince legacy .

[@dovescry319]

Would love to hear more from Susan! She was there from Prince’s first album all they way to purple rain and she was his main girl for years! What did she think when Vanity came along? How did she handle all of that? How did her and Prince part? Did she write Make Up? What songs does she know of that were inspired by her?

[@GTTg-kr2xh]

I noticed this - I took that avoiding the deep dive was intentional since she was so young. If they dated off and on beginning in 1980 - that puts her . . . young and not going there saves a lot of more unanswered questions. Given that, I think Susann is a little shy. The wide eye look gives me a signal that she had nerves and a slight zone out moment. Great interview -- well crafted questions thus far.

Just to clarify. Denise met Prince at the American Music awards in 1981. She was there with her manager Hal Ray. Both Prince and Rick James noticed Denise that night and flirted with her. And each telling the press that Denise was their wife.

[@deniseherud]

This was so lovely💗 I'm thrilled to see my childhood idols together again. They sound the same as they did back in 83💗 It's funny bc my age group, we didn't know Vanity, we knew Apollonia--i'd scribble their logo on my school books lol. Later when Purple Rain went big and the media talked backstory, we were all wth is a 'Vanity?' We even waited for Apollonia when she appeared in Eddie Money's 'Shakin'" video. So no clue about Vanity. Time goes on, I'm obsessed with Vanity from her appearances on Soul Train, and the tv gigs promoting 'Under the Influence." Never got enough recognition for being funny af and super smart, quick witted. Truly I was so in awe that i was able to interact directly with Denise during her illness --she loved when i'd send her funny cat memes😂💗 Having grown up idolizing her and Apples and Brenda and Susan, it was overwhelming to have actual dialogue with someone i admired so much. I have the most sincere love and admiration for Apollonia too. She has such kind respect and sisterhood with Denise--it's rare that women can be so close, especially considering the circumstances that went on with Denise leaving and Apples coming in...But Apollonia is a truly classy, warm and amazing person, and i'm super glad her and Denise were like sisters. I treasure this video clip and still adore these lovely ladies💗

In the past, we never heard much from Susan, but this interview proves she has a strong personality with definite points of view. I really hope she writes a book about her time with Prince.

Hi please ask Susan how it felt to have one of Prince's best albums 1999 dedicated to her. He dedicated 1999 to VASHTI which is Susan's middle name I believe. I'm so happy they stayed in touch with you, Denise and Jill. I think you guys gave Prince the support and family setting to ground him. None of you let him push you around or took crap from him. I hate to say it but he seemed a little lost in all the Purple Rain hype. Towards the end he was reaching back out to old friends and support systems. Thank you guys for making the 1977-84 so exciting. I hate that I lost all your memorabilia in a storm in Florida. 30 plus years of albums posters magazines videos are gone but I still have you to keep those great times alive.

I was close friends with Denise (aka Vanity) first meeting her in the Minneapolis days during the height of Nasty Girls. I was one of the very lucky few who remained friends with her until her passing. I had the privilege of meeting both Susan and Brenda a few times during the early rehearsals of Purple Rain, before she finally separated from Prince. She would drag poor Susan and Brenda with her to come and see me. HaHa. They were always so nice. I am looking forward to watching the other parts. Thank you.

Often we end up leaving everything behind just to get out safely. That's how I lost my entire record collection, including the Joni Mitchell my aunt gave me when she knew she was dying of breast cancer. Just be careful out there.

Loved the interview!! Can't believe 40 years almost to this day (Feb 27th 1983 Ann Arbor, Mi) I got to see the legendary 1999 tour live I was only 4 years going on 5 💜

@@gr3181 I did a deep dive on the 1999 last year and I did some research I saw that Prince did like 8-10 shows in Detroit alone ppl don't talk about that I was amazed how many shows he did in a row!! These artist don't even do a fraction of that today I thought that was amazing. Its not ironic he put the Detroit show on his "1999" Deluxe album for the live shows.

You can tell Brenda treasured all those moments back then. Great memory recall. I can’t remember what I did yesterday half the time.😅
