The pop icon's ex-wife, Mayte Garcia, says she tried for years to dismiss his addiction and believed him when he told her it was nothing, describing a number of times in which he's acting 'loopy.'

AceShowbiz - Prince's longtime struggle with drugs has been revealed by his ex-wife Mayte Garcia in her new memoir titled "The Most Beautiful: My Life With Prince". The 43-year-old, who was married to the pop icon for four years, dished on concerning red flags throughout her relationship with the music legend, including his devastating addiction and secret overdoses.

Speaking to Radar Online, Mayte says she tried for years to dismiss his addiction and believed him when he told her it was nothing. She also describes a number of times in which he was acting "loopy." She insists she never once saw her ex-husband taking drugs other than vitamin B injections, but one day in 1994, she noticed he seemed "foggy."

"He sounded hollowed out and foggy, and that scared me a little. He didn't get sick very often," she writes. "And this felt different." She recalls, "There were a few disturbing incidents that happened while we were together, and this is one of several occasions when he told me he was 'sick' or that he had a 'migraine.' "

"Looking back, I can see it was something else. I didn't see it then. Maybe because I didn't want to," she continues, before alleging that soon after she discovered she was pregnant with their son Amiir in 1996, Prince was rushed to the hospital after suffering an overdose. A security guard "found him passed out," she recounts. "There was vomit on the floor."

A doctor told her they had pumped his stomach and gave him charcoal treatment, but Prince insisted he merely took aspirin with red wine. "I had a migraine," he said as quoted by Mayte. "I took too many pills…It was a stupid mistake." Mayte claims Prince refused to discuss the incident during their marriage, saying, "I accepted his word that it would never happen again."
