Rain Pryor Denies Quincy Jones Story & Details Dad’s Relationship With A Trans Woman

Here is the original post:

Source: Bettmann / Getty Ever since Quincy Jones ‘ Vulture interview set the Internet ablaze, folks have been fact checking the music legend’s surprising statements. One particular story caused major discussion when Quincy suggested actor  Marlon Brando had sex with Richard Pryor.   Richard’s widow, Jennifer Lee , even  confirmed the statement as true. However, now Richard’s daughter — fellow comedian Rain Pryor — is stepping into the picture. In a Facebook post, she said Quincy’s statements were false. “Daddy did NOT have relations with Brando,” she said. “There were no trips to his South Pacific Oasis, no flowers or love notes between. Not even a film role.” Rain did however detail Richard’s relationship with a trans woman. “My dad was very open with his life, so much so that news of his relationship with a trans woman in the early 70s and 80s wasn’t really newsworthy nor notable,” she said. “As a child I knew her, not as the trans person in our home, but the lady whom everyone accepted. So much acceptance I did not know she was Trans until recently.” In a previous post, Rain went on to condemn Quincy Jones, calling him “once a brilliant music producer who is losing his mind, and decided to garner publicity for himself with a sensationalized interview.” You can check out both posts by Rain below as this story continues to be hotly debated.

Fresh Outta F***s: Quincy Jones Keeps It TOO Real About MJ, Lusting For Ivanka Trump, Marvin Gaye Sexing Marlon Brando

Image via Paul Morigi/Getty Images Quincy Jones Vulture Interview Set Twitter On Fire Let’s get something straight from the gate. Quincy Jones doesn’t give a f**k. Full stop. The legendary composer, musician, producer and songwriter is 84 years old and doesn’t have time to beat around the bush or pussyfoot. This guy is full speed ahead. Red light, stop sign or pristine reputation be damned. In a new interview with Vulture , Jones shares some of the most candid, hilarious and otherwise WTF-y stories you’ve ever heard in you life. For example, these care-free quips about Michael Jackson’s shadiness and physical appearance: Greedy, man. Greedy. “Don’t Stop ’Til You Get Enough” — Greg Phillinganes wrote the c section Michael should’ve given him 10 percent of the song. Wouldn’t do it. What about outside of music? What’s misunderstood about Michael? I used to kill him about the plastic surgery, man. He’d always justify it and say it was because of some disease he had. Bulls#!t. Q was just gettin’ warmed up. Peep what he said about which two ICONIC Black men let “The Godfather”, Marlon Brando, smash them to smithereens. Flip it over.

Earlier we reported on Quincy Jones ‘ explosive Vulture interview where he claims that “The Godfather” actor Marlon Brando had sex with James Baldwin, Marvin Gaye and comedian Richard Pryor.

Jennifer, Richard’s ex wife, says Richard wouldn’t be ashamed one bit of what Quincy said. She says the icon was very open about the fact that he was bisexual when speaking to friends and family. She even says that he chronicled his sexual trysts with men in several diaries that will be published this year. Here’s what Jennifer says explicitly about the Brando affair: “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.” *blinking white man.GIF* The thought of Marlon Brando telling Richard Pryor to bust that bussy open has me on the floor. — king crissle (@crissles) February 7, 2018 More reactions.

Lindsay Lohan Goes Makeup-Free, Boasts About Acting Job

Warning: Lindsay Lohan’s latest Instagram pic may shock you and cause you to question everything you thought you knew about the world. At first it may seem to be just another of Lindsay’s no-makeup selfies . (She’s been posting a lot of those lately, leading many to believe that she’s loving her new Botox guy.) However, on closer inspection, it becomes clear that the photo and caption contain at least two signs of the apocalypse: Lindsay is looking suspiciously healthy and coke-wrinkle free, which can only mean that she’s reached some sort of agreement with Lucifer himself. According to her caption, LiLo has actually landed an acting job, which we’re pretty sure is a development that’s described in detail in the Book of Revelation. Like famed psychopaths Paul Gauguin and Marlon Brando before her, Lindsay has apparently relocated to Tahiti, where she’s involved in some sort of top-secret film project that’s totally not a porn, you guys. Linds captioned the above photo, “Morning! Ready for day three on set!” Yes, Lindsay Lohan has apparently held down a job for three days. But in case you were worried that that means she’s turned some kind of corner and will no longer amuse us with her signature brand of batsh-ttery, fear not: Just last week Lindsay celebrated the birthday of Charles Manson by dressing as his most famous victim, Sharon Tate. Prior to that, she wore a fake engagement ring to a Halloween party in hoped of fooling her friends (who totally didn’t buy it). We get the feeling that Crazy Lindsay isn’t going anywhere just yet.

5 Pieces of Elizabeth Taylor Movie Memorabilia I’d Actually Pay For

Long live the memory of our most-perfectly-nosed savior Elizabeth Taylor, whose Oscar cred and Crayola eyes shall live on in fabulous montages for eternity. Now, part of the matrimonial legend’s legacy can be ours: Her glorious Cleopatra wig — made from real human hair — is hitting the auction block . Oooh! I wonder if there are traces of Richard Burton’s saliva on it. Actually, I wonder if we can score a deal on other Liz Taylor movie memorabilia. Cleopatra is a decadent, but pretty uninteresting note in her career. No prestige, just bombast. Here’s the Liz stuff I’d rather bid on this holiday season.

About That Time Marlon Brando Invented Swimming Pool Shoes and Conga Drums

Oscar winner, letter writer , Godfather… drum innovator? Turns out Marlon Brando was all of those things, an avid inventor with multiple patents to his name including one for a revolutionary tuning system for conga drums. Said prototype still sits in a storage facility in West L.A., which NPR visited recently to get the scoop on Brando’s secret scientific pursuits.
