Tatiana reveals in the book, “Tatiana reveals in the book, “Once More With Feeling,” that she was hired to go on the “Bad” tour with Michael Jackson to perform the sketch from “The Way You Make Me Feel,” video. After one performance she had a idea, I called Michael and asked could I take the sketch a step further, he said, “Yeah, that would be great.” I thanked him and hung up. During the next performance, we embraced and shared a longer kiss; the crowd went wild! When I got backstage, all the dancers congratulated me.
When I got back to the hotel room, Michael’s bodyguard Miko Brando came out of nowhere and started screaming at me at the top of his lungs. “How dare you do that to Michael! He yelled. “You b you f what were you doing? How can you take advantage of him like that in front of all those people? He went on and on, obviously having no idea that Michael and I had talked beforehand. It seemed unreal.
Then Michael’s manager, Frank Dileo, walked past. After every prior show, Frank would tap me on the shoulder and tell me how great I was. That night he didn’t say a word but instead gave me the most evil look I have ever seen.
To this day I have no idea what I did that was so horrible. That was the end of the tour for me. I was not asked back when the Bad tour went to several cities. Sheryl Crow took my place.
I went home and cried. Michael’s mother Katherine was also puzzled by what happened.
PRINCE:
Tatiana adds, she met Prince at her birthday party. She was taken at how beautiful he was in person, even more so than on camera. She asked him to dance, everyone in the club stopped to watch. When the party ended, Prince invited her for a ride in his limo. They rode around for a couple of hours, listening to demos of his new music. He asked her to go to his hotel, she did. At one point, while they were talking, Prince reached over and pulled her top down. She was shocked and said, “I thought you were shy!” Referring to my breasts, he said, “They’re so beautiful!”
Next he led me to his big walk-in closet. He had hundreds of suits in every color. It was 4.a.m in the morning; he invited me to stay, promising to take me home in the morning. I agreed and he gave me a pair of silk pajamas and he put on a black Lycra cat suit. We kissed and cuddled as we drifted off to sleep. After that first date, Prince and I went out a few more times. One time, he sent his brother, Dwain in a Rolls Royce to pick me up. I brought him a birthday gift, a belt that spelled out Gemini. Since I knew he didn’t like to be handed gifts, Dwain promised to give it to him later. During the next several months, I shared a few more romantic interludes with Prince. There were moments of passion but he never went too far (they never had sex). The closeness we had, however, was more important than sex.
We talked and talked, there was nothing we didn’t talk about, And we would laugh hysterically. Prince is wonderful but he is also eccentric. Along with the brilliance, there is a temperamental side and I’ve seen both his Dr. Jekyll and his Mr. Hyde. His mood could change at the drop of a hat. He’d be fine one minute, then dark, dramatic and withdrawn the next.
Prince and I lost touch for about four years. We met by chance one night at a club and started talking about an interview I had given to the Star tabloid during the scandal involving Michael Jackson and the underage boy. Prince was upset that I had spoken to the tabloid; he attacked me for my comments and he was especially bothered by a line that quoted me as saying that Michael would never get married. He shouted, “Did you need the money that bad?” Are you that poor-that broke, that you sell your story to the tabloids?,” that she was hired to go on the “Bad” tour with Michael Jackson to perform the sketch from “The Way You Make Me Feel,” video.
