Prince and Jill Jones’ relationship had been through the wringer, so when she sat down to share her memories of Prince for a new Netflix documentary, little did she know she would be unravelling a firestorm. Jill shared a long and complicated relationship with the late musician. However, her testimony, along with others, was never released after Prince’s estate decided that it would cause “generational harm” to his image. Now, on the 10th anniversary of his death this week, Jill is ready to reveal what really happened between them and give fans an insight into their relationship. So, let’s take a quick look at what happened between Prince and Jill.
What happened between Prince and Jill Jones?
In a recent interview with The Mirror, Jill Jones reflected on what happened in 1984. She revealed that she and a friend of hers went to see Prince at a hotel. However, an argument broke out between them when Jill felt jealous after he started kissing her friend, leading her to slap the singer. Nonetheless, things got out of hand, and Prince started punching her over and over in the face. She recalled wanting to press charges but was warned against it by Prince’s circle. She was quoted as saying:
“I was told I would ruin his career…. They saw him as just money for them. They could make a lot of money. It just shows me how many people benefit. Had I come forward…it wouldn’t have happened. But basically, after that, we made up because I had surgery, and he gave me a ton of toys. This is how the apology was: balloons, toys, and candy. It was really hard for us not to be around each other. He always thought I would be there. He would always say: ‘I’m always gonna know you.'”
