Marlon Brando’s son slams Quincy Jones’ claim his father slept with Richard Pryor
Marlon Brando’s son has shot down reports that his father allegedly slept with Richard Pryor in the 1970s.
Miko Brando rubbished claims made by Quincy Jones, who said Marlon would “f*** anything”.
Miko has broken his silence, saying his family have been left “disappointed” by Jones’ “wrongful comment”.
In a statement, he told TMZ: “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.”
Jones made the shocking claim in an interview with Vulture in which he told reporters: “[Brando] was the most charming mother*****you ever met. He’d f*** anything. Anything!
“He’d f*** a mailbox. James Baldwin. Richard Pryor. Marvin Gaye.”
The claim was later backed up by Pryor’s widow Jennifer Pryor who told TMZ that her husband had always been open about his bisexuality. She claimed he wrote about it in his diaries, which she said she plans to publish.
She told the publication: “It was the ‘70s! Drugs were still good, especially quaaludes.
“If you did enough cocaine, you’d f*** a radiator and send it flowers in the morning.”
Richard’s daughter Rain – who he had with Shelley R Bonus – also rubbished her stepmother’s confirmation of Jones’s claims.
In a now deleted Facebook post she wrote: “Daddy did NOT have relations with Brando. There were no trips to his South Pacific Oasis, no flowers or love notes between. Not even a film role.
“Why this sudden need to drag Daddy through the Hollywood mud? I find it tasteless and infuriating. At least get the details right, but of course we live in the age of faux news is real unless we disagree for our own agendas, and people need to stay relevant by dishing dirt.”
She finished: “Bottom line. This man Richard Pryor, is not your Hollyweird scandal performance. He is our Daddy. He is our perfect imperfection. He is our legacy and we are most certainly his. So get a life and focus back on what's really going on in the world.”
