The daughter of Richard Pryor is clapping back at reports that her father had gay sex.
In an angry Facebook rant, Rain Pryor says Quincy Jones is “losing his mind” and after claiming her father would “f*ck anything,” including Marlon Brando and several other gay and bisexual men. Then she called anyone who believed the story a “thirsty dog.”
“Q, was once a brilliant music producer who is losing his mind, and decided to garner publicity for himself with a sensationalized interview,” she wrote, “and because y’all think and equate fame and money with decency, you ate it up like thirsty dogs, as he spewed out a lie about my father who’s not here to defend himself.”

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Rain also accused Pryor’s widow, Jennifer Lee, of “tarnishing” her father’s reputation by substantiating Jones’ claims to TMZ.
“Then on top of it all, my dad’s so-called widow validated it, because she needs to keep legitimizing herself and tarnish our dad even after he’s dead,” she added. “She hated Q and Daddy.”
Oh, but it doesn’t end there.
A few hours later, Rain wrote a longer post in which she says her father’s relationships with a trans woman were not “newsworthy or notable” and that he definitely never hooked up with Marlon Brando.
“Daddy did NOT have relations with Brando,” she wrote. “There were no trips to his South Pacific Oasis, no flowers or love notes between. Not even a film role.”
It seems to us like Pryor’s widow has more authority to speak about his sex life than his daughter, but what do we know?
In an interview with Vulture on Thursday, Lee said her husband was very much a free spirit when it came to his sexual whims.

“Instead of putting labels on it, Richard just saw himself as a sexualized creature, who wasn’t afraid of exploration and experimentation,” she explained. “And in the ’70s, of course, we were all doing it.”
She continued, “He really discusses his bisexuality in a very nuanced and profound way. I should say his bisexual experiences. He didn’t consider himself bisexual, but he was very open about his sexuality and never put a label on it.”
We found this old video from one of Pryor’s standup routines in which he discusses having sex with men. Beginning around the 14:50 mark, he talks about openly having gay sex.
(Disclaimer: The language in the video might be a little shocking by today’s standards, so it’s important to remember not to separate it from its time.)

“Never fuck a f*ggot,” he says, “because they lie. They always say ‘I won’t tell.’ They lie. They can’t wait ’til you finish f*cking them. ‘Guess who was here, honey?'”
He also talks about performing oral sex on other dudes.
“I sucked a d*ck,” he admits. “You can get a habit from sucking d*ck. You know, become a d*ck junkie. You can only do it maybe three times. You do it more than that and you have a habit.”
Watch.

Um, Quincy Jones did not say Richard Pryor would f*ck anything, he said MARLON BRANDO would. Can Rainn Pryor not read or comprehend what she’s reading? (The answer to both questions is clear.)
She also must not have heard any of the rcordings of her father telling jokes about him having sex with men. It may be shocking for her to learn that he did so, publicly, and his fans didn’t have an issue with it.
Clearly, she does, but that’s her homophobic and biphobic BS, not anyone else’s.
Larry
And clearly she is doing EXACTLY what she criticizes the others for….garnering publicity for herself.

Exactly how would his daughter know who he’s had sex with or vacations with? But I agree that what Quincy did was extremely tackless. He mostly spoke about people who have passed. It was indecent.
It sounds like Richard hooked up with trans women and crossed-dressed men and sucked some guys’ dicks here and there. He probably never developed genuine attraction and desire and romantic interests towards men. He was just sometimes turned on by penis. Ultimately, I find myself not caring or least not caring about the sensational aspect of it. He was a rich commedian who grew up in a brothel, was molested, was physically abused, joined the Freemansons, was married five times, was a drug addict and alcoholic and bunch of other crazy sh*t. Of course he had sex with a ton of people and a ton of different types of people. This is not “news”. Unless someone has/had a real, legit, non rentboy relationships with a non opposite cis person I just don’t care beyond helping to enlighten people on the dimensions and degrees of orientation, potential internalized homophobia and how certain personality types develop.

HER FATHER WAS ALSO A CRACK ADDICT. REMEMBER THE TIME HE GOT SO HIGH ON CRACK HE POURED ALCOHOL ALL OVER HIMSELF THEN WENT OUT INTO THE STREET AND SET HIMSELF ON FIRE.
Kangol
No, it wasn’t crack. He was freebasing on cocaine, and poured 151-proof rum on himself. He caught fire and then ran into the street. It occurred in the era just before the crack epidemic hit, and a lot of celebrities were freebasing then.

Most people don’t want to admit that their father had sex with a man. Even if it was Marlon Brando. Richard Pryor’s wife is the one who’d know if her
husband had sex with Brando. Richard told his wife he did. As for Brando.
When he was a young buck I would’ve ridden on him any day. That body and sensuality must have been pretty intense,

Family members often go into denial like this. Until being accused of being gay is a compliment, a good thing, we will continue to see this

It’s weird if you’re a woman over 21 and call your father Daddy. 14 for men.
Scotty2Naughty
It’s really not. People from the south say “Daddy”. His daughter is weird, though. She thinks she knows all of her “daddy’s” sexual business for some reason. Like he would actually share that information with her
James
Pryor himself admits to having gay sex, particularly he liked to give blow jobs.
Jaxton
I wonder if the daughter has anything against male homosexuality.
In any case, I appreciate that Richard Pryor did not label himself. It really was much more liberal back then for guys who were sexually turned on by women but who also found men attractive at times.
Today, there are too many rules as a result of identity politics. These rules make it harder for men in general. I blame GLBT.

I read Christopher Isherwood’s book on gay porn star Joey Stefano. The award winning musician described in that book that Joey Stefano tricked with sounds a lot like Quincy Jones, or should I say the description of that musician brought ol’ Quincy Jones to mind. I bet it was him. I personally thought his marriage to Peggy Lipton (The Mod Squad) was a screen cover to quell the rumors that he was gay. When he eventually passes away I’m sure they will all come out of the wood work.

The author of the Stefano book is CHARLES Isherwood, not “Christopher.”

Thank you. Now that you pointed out my error I guess we can all rest assured the sun will come up in the morning.

Old age Bob. It only gets worse from here.
Bob LaBlah
@o.codone……………….honey, thats an understatement. lol There is a cable channel called MeTv. They show old classic tv shows such as Maude, Perry Mason, the Carol Burnett Show etc.. As I watched an episode of The Family (the Carol Burnett Show segment) I realized that I am now older than all of those characters when it was first filmed (but they still made me laugh).

Richard Pryor was cool as flock. Beautiful soul. Rest in sweet peace brother. I enjoyed this video very much. Black men in the 1970’s would have sex with other men. It was cool. Just getting down. All this stuff nowadays is boring and corny. Just makes real men uncomfortable. I love men. I love black men. I’m black gay and very proud !
Jaxton
Black is beautiful.
o.codone
Black is delish. Blame me for fetishing? Nah. A fetish is making a typically non-sexual person, place or thing and making it into a sexual, well, … “fetish”. Black men are intrinsically sexy. Black men define sexuality. By definition you cannot fetishise a black man. Gimme dat.
demetreus
Sure is! And apparently, Marlon Brando loved the chocolate. #Winning

Is she a royalties baby afraid of her bottom line?

When numerous independent sources confirm various aspects of what QJ has said it’s time to stop protesting.
Scotty2Naughty
How would she know? She’s his daughter. Like he would actually tell his daughter about that kind of stuff? His daughter sounds like a moron.
Kate Mullet
I found this video of Pryor’s routine remarkable. You could hear a pin drop in that room. I cannot imagine a (more straight-identified) male comedian now ever being that fearless about sexuality.
jcoberkrom
How would she be an authority on her parent’s sex life.
It’s just icky to think a child should be privy to such intimate information !
Chevelter
It’s a funny act from a different time. Skip to 14:45 for Pryor’s remarks about his gay experiences.
o.codone
God, that was awful.
jack512
One thing is perfectly clear: Rain Pryor’s over the top reaction to the comments by Quincy Jones and Pryor’s widow tell us that she is a first class homophobe.
