Marlon Brando’s eldest son says his dad definitely did not hook up with Richard Pryor back in the ’70s… even though Pryor’s widow and former BFF both insist that he did.
Just to recap: In an interview with Vulture published last week, Quincy Jones claimed Brando would “f*ck anything” in his prime–including a “mailbox”–and even spilled the names of a few male celebrities he hooked up with.

Some of Brando’s alleged M4M encounters included Marvin Gaye, James Baldwin, and Richard Pryor, which was later confirmed by Pryor’s widow, who said her late husband “saw himself as a sexualized creature” and was open about his bisexuality.
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.
“The Marlon Brando family has heard the recent comments by Quincy Jones and we are disappointed that anyone would make such a wrongful comment about either Marlon Brando or Richard Pryor,” Miko Brando said in a statement.
We’re not sure what they have to be “disappointed” about. Gay sex is a beautiful thing! But whatev.

Pryor’s daughter, Rain, also refuted the rumors that her dad hooked up with Brando, saying “Daddy did NOT have relations with Brando” in a now-deleted Facebook rant.
It’s understandable that Miko Brando and Rain Pryor wouldn’t want to think about their fathers having gay sex together, but… seriously?
Both men were open about their bisexual tendencies. In fact, here’s one of Pryor’s old standup routines in which he discusses having sex with men. Beginning around the 14:50 mark, he talks about quite openly having gay sex…

The real disappointment is that someone as accomplised as Quincy Jones feels the need to air the dirty laundry of dead people.
Anyone can fvck anyone no matter the dynamics of their orientation. And in the entertainment industry that’s often the case. Unless these two had a legit romantic relationship I just don’t care. That tends to be my reaction to every celeb’s supposed secret gay activity. Unless a legit romance was involved I couldn’t care less. It also makes me very uncomfortable to once again see male homosexual behavior used as sensationalistic entertainment.
Kieran
It’s revealing that you equate sexual relations between consenting adults with “dirty laundry”. Or is it only gay sex that is dirty laundry? Either way it sounds like a sexual hang up of some kind.
Donston
It’s not a “hang up”. Revealing the personal lives of friends and business partners, especially those who have passed and can’t speak for themselves, is a classless thing to do. It’s especially classless for someone who is on Quincy’s level. I’m sorry that I’m not hype about finding out two famous dead dudes may have fvcked.
Kieran
@Donston It may be classless but these kind of stories and allegations have been going on for at least 40 years in American media. Just ask the Kennedys.
Donston
I’m talking specifically of someone like Quincy. This isn’t some random gossip queen or someone who was a peripheral industry figure. This is a legendary producer who is responsible for jump-starting a ton of people’s careers. He decided to talk sh*t about many of his former co-workers and associates just for the sake of it.
I stopped caring about the “secret” lives of celebs a while ago. So, this stuff just doesn’t do anything for me. And as I mentioned with the previous article, unless someone actually had a real relationship with someone of their same gender I tend not to care. But It’s the fact that this is coming from someone who should be completely above all this that makes it nasty.

YAWN. THEY’RE DEAD. THE ONLY ONE OUTRAGED IS PRUDE YOU.
James
FOR SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT CARE YOU CERTAINLY WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE ELSE IS NOT ENJOYING THEMSELVES.

Damn. Wtf did Brando f*ck to produce Miko who looks nothing like his dad in every conceivable way. I’m really beginning to believe he would f*ck a mailbox now.
Donston
As dirty as it was for Quincy to say the things about the multitude of people that he did most of what he said wasn’t a revelation to those in the know. In particular, Brando has long been known to have been extremely promiscuous, frequently indulging orgies, and hiring male and female prostitutes and low-ranking actors and actresses to have sex with him and whoever his girlfriend was at the time. Like Pryor, he also had a depressing childhood, a ton of dysfuctional romantic relationships and seemed to have unrelenting narcissistic and self-destructive instincts.

“Damn. Wtf did Brando f*ck to produce Miko…?” Richard Pryor?

Watched the video. The humour was dry.
Actually felt uncomfortable.

Its seems VERY hard to believe that Richard Pryor had the hots for a fifty something year old man like Brando. I just don’t believe it.
Kieran
Barack Obama, Brad Pitt and George Clooney are all fifty something year old men and I’m sure you’d dive into bed with any one of them if they crooked a finger at you.
Bob LaBlah
Are any of the men you named as DUMPY as Marlon Brando, the Godfather, was in his fifties?
ChrisK
I thought Marlon was still hot in the Godfather but not sure when he went all orca the whale.

Who knows all the details of their parents sex lives?
Jaxton
What the hell would the sons and daughters of Brando and Pryor know about their specific sexual trysts? Fathers don’t tell their bedroom secrets to their sons and daughters.
NateOcean
When Pryor says you might be addited to dick if you’ve sucked more than three of them….
…is that in a day? or in a single hour?
Donston
I know this was meant to be a joke. But if you do have addictive instincts and certain personality traits or personality disorders you can become “addicted” to certain sexual behavior, even towards genders you have little to no attraction, passion and romantic feelings for. We don’t know the dynamics of Pryor’s orientation. But there are plenty of men who have said they like sucking guys’ dicks but feel no other type of attraction, desire, passion or romantic longing towards men. Just like there are a decent amount of gay-identifying men who say they’ve enjoyed eating pvssy (though often they enjoy the actual sex quite a bit less and rarely become “addicted”). So, these things aren’t that unusual. For some, sexual behavior can become more about triggering certain paraphilias or certain submissive or domination instincts and fetishes than anything else. And for some, the actual gender they’re igniting these things with doesn’t matter.

Rain and Miko sound Homophobic….
GayEGO
They probably are as it is no longer a disgrace to be gay, and married to another guy as I am.
He BGB
I would think daughters and sons would be the last to know who their dad f***** or if he sucked a d. And wives? They think as long as he gets it hard, sticks it in to completion, A man is straight.
GayEGO
Oh pahleeze! The daddies are not going to tell their kids that they had sex with a guy and the daddies kept it quiet, but eventually, their sexual intercourse comes out. Frankly, I always though Marlon Brando was gay.
crowebobby
Brando admitted to having had sex with men in a very early interview with Truman Capote. But he was pissed when Capote printed it.
