- Through TMZ, Pryor's widow confirmed that this is true.
- She said that with friends, Pryor was open about his bisexuality.
In a wild interview with Vulture published Wednesday, music legend Quincy Jones, 84, casually mentioned that his longtime friend, Oscar-winning actor Marlon Brando, had romantic affairs with multiple famous men, including comedian Richard Pryor.
Now, Pryor's widow has confirmed that Jones was telling the truth.
"Brando used to go cha-cha dancing with us," Jones told Vulture. "He could dance his a-- off. He was the most charming mother------ you ever met. He'd f--- anything. Anything! He'd f--- a mailbox. James Baldwin. Richard Pryor. Marvin Gaye."
Pryor's widow, Jennifer Lee Pryor, confirmed to TMZ that this was accurate. Brando was known for his roles in "The Godfather," "Apocalypse Now," and "A Streetcar Named Desire." Brando died in 2004, and Pryor died in 2005.
Lee told TMZ that her husband was open about his bisexuality with his friends, and even mentioned that he documented his encounters extensively in diaries.
"It was the '70s! Drugs were still good, especially quaaludes," she said. "If you did enough cocaine, you'd f--- a radiator and send it flowers in the morning."
According to TMZ, Lee plans to publish Pryor's diaries later this year.
