Richard Pryor’s Daughter Dismisses Claims of Affair with Marlon Brando

Rain Pryor, daughter of the late comedian Richard Pryor, has vehemently denied the recent claims made by music legend Quincy Jones and Richard Pryor's widow, Jennifer Lee Pryor, that her father had a s**ual relationship with actor Marlon Brando.

Taking to Facebook, Rain Pryor expressed her anger at the “faux news” surrounding her father's personal life and criticized those who were eager to gossip about it.

In her Facebook posts, Rain Pryor called for the focus to be on her father's comedic genius and his talents as a writer, director, and producer.

She expressed her frustration at having to defend her father against mean-spirited gossip instead of celebrating his accomplishments.

While most of the comments on her posts were supportive, some questioned whether her tone carried traces of homophobia.

The rumors began when Quincy Jones mentioned in an interview that Richard Pryor and Marlon Brando had been involved romantically.

Jennifer Lee Pryor subsequently confirmed the affair and stated that she would publish Richard Pryor's diaries to provide evidence.

However, Rain Pryor adamantly denied these claims, stating that her father did not have relations with Brando and that discussing such matters was tasteless and infuriating.

Jones made the remark about Pryor and Brando during an expletive-laden interview with Vulture.

Jennifer Lee Pryor further confirmed the affair in an interview with TMZ and on Twitter, jokingly attributing it to the drug culture of the 1970s.

She declared that Richard Pryor openly embraced his bisexuality and that he was ahead of his time in advocating for gay rights.

The reason for the sudden resurgence of this decades-old affair is due to Quincy Jones' controversial interview, in which he made various explicit statements, including dating Ivanka Trump and criticizing The Beatles' musical abilities.

During the interview, Jones discussed his friendship with Brando and revealed details about the actor's s**ual preferences.

Rain Pryor accused Quincy Jones of seeking publicity through sensationalized lies about her father, who is no longer here to defend himself.

She also accused Jennifer Lee Pryor of harboring hatred towards both Richard Pryor and Quincy Jones and attempting to tarnish her father's legacy.

Various friends and admirers of Richard Pryor shared their reactions to the news.

Some recalled moments where Pryor had jokingly mentioned same-s** encounters, while others made lighthearted remarks on social media about the unexpected pairing of Pryor and Brando.

Representatives for Marlon Brando's estate did not respond to requests for comment.
