i don't even know if richard ever knew, i did some reading online, all i could find was that it came out at richard's funeral, why? idon't know, maybe paul didn't come, maybe he showed up and richard jr. went nuts, i don't know. but for some reason, you know, people with that kind of toxic pride that Paul had, my stepdad was like that, are some of the most abusive people you can meet. I didn't want to believe it but I think i do. It was clear that this bodyguard, rashon khan, didn't like Mooney, probably didn't like him before the story of the rape. He did not like him period which is how mooney rubbed a lot of people.

I have seen interviews with Rashon. He seems like a for real dude. I know he has said he tried to keep Rich away from the drugs and bad people. He went throught some shit with Richard.

he was a cool guy, the movie set, the only time i was on one, had lots of people who were jackasses, most of them were nobodies, Rashon was very mellow and cool, he was bodyguarding, dammit, what's the guys name? the fat comedian? oh fuck, it'll come to me. cedric the entertainer who was cool but in a bad mood understandably because things were screwed that day.

I have Eric's book He just exposed that Marvin was raped by his uncle. The same uncle who later went to jail for raping other children.

oh jesus, i didn't know that. poor marvin. I worked on a movie set years ago and met richard pryor's bodyguard, i asked him about Paul Mooney, he said mooney had raped pryor jr. i was stunned, it came out of left field and i didn't know what to make of the statement. these things happen though and i guess i can say i'm glad the shit didn't happen to me.

.

This very sad to learn about Marvin. Back then, people didn't talk about this stuff. So sad.

ironically, i saw an interview with mooney on the movie precious and he was saying how "some things should stay in the family". I fucking hated that movie and thought it was sick, ya the shit happens, lots of shit happens, you don't have to go making a movie about it making black people look crazy, i hated it. My best friend said what you're saying "people need to talk about this" I don't know, maybe one of his uncles fucked with him, i don't like it, was grossed out by it and am convinced the director is mentally ill.

Quincy's off the deep end. Used to have so much respect for the man. Only if he's senile can I understand him now. Ivanka Trump? LMAO.

The interview was amazing. Loved every minute of it. Can't wait for the Netflix special.

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. 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.

There were no murmurs, nor was it tabloid news or execution by public opinion. It was just another day in our lives. It was just another identity I can assess our father was trying to navigate and process.

It’s funny how during a time of huge inequality, it would have seem to matter more, and , now it’s sensationalized news, but the characters are wrong, and it’s all done to elevate the egos of sad empty people who’s money is proving it doesn’t buy happiness.

However, 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.

As one of his children, I should not have to defend my brilliant and bruised father to anyone. I should be commenting on his genius comedy and the fact that he not only wrote, directed and produced ... he had an office at Columbia Pictures and was once one of the Richest men. I should be sharing prolific anecdotes because he was an activist and so brutally honest. But instead I am sharing much vulnerability with some mean spirited gossip rag readers who believe anyone with money and fame.

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.

Who cares really right? It's just words, they only effect us if we let them effect us. Choose not to.

Day 8 of the 28 day challenge is a legendary trio, my friend Richard Pryor, the great Marlon Brando, geniuses Marvin Gaye and Baldwin,getting too many calls from irrelevant, sick n thirsty gravediggers who'll do/sell anything for a dime or relevance.

And there you have it...
Everybody's fucking with Mooney nowadays but he has always been, and will always be, on point...

was it a stroke? the rumors went from dementia to stage four prostate cancer, which was obviously not true. He was getting booed off stages at the end, just watch the arsenio show, he looks lost. great standup, no doubt, i was a huge fan, still think he was profound as hell, just not a good guy.

The Arsenio Hall thing was no to long after the stroke. He was doing shows with Dick Gregory just a few months before Dick passed away. I would not be surprised if he has had other health issues.

I do not know what to think about the rape story. I mean he comes off as being an angry dude but what black man his age is not?

ya, that was my thoughts, he reminded me a lot of my stepdad, very self-righteous, very prideful, my stepdad was very abusive too but nothing like rape. but yes, i know the type. Rashon Khan also told me that Mooney was kicked off as the opener for Eddie Murphy during his Raw tour because he felt Eddie wasn't being respectful enough to him, again, pride. I was a fan, all i could think was I wished it wasn't true but as with anyone, we don't know any of these people really, outside of their marvelous talent. It's funny Laura, I used to think Prince was the worst of the worst, now, he's actually an angel compared to the rest of these people.

I lot of people thought Prince was the devil back in the day but a lot that was for show. He could be hard on people but shit he was paying them but we have yet to hear any real horror stories and we will never know how much money he just gave away to help people.

thing is, he wasn't trying to con people with image, all these other people, cosby and all these people, they are getting away murder behind their saintly masks. thought it was interesting how the lady who said russell simmons raped her pointed out how he used yoga and spirituality to con himself and others into thinking he was a good guy. I don't know about you, but i'd rather know i'm dealing with an asshole rather than dealing with a smooth talking, benevolent sounding mean person, which, it seems are common in life.

Everybody who knew him said he was for real. If he liked you he really liked you and if he did not he did not fuck with you. Also it could be the reason he stayed in MN as Hollywood seems like it is fake and insane.

Plain & simple...Quincy is senile and kooked out. When you disrespect others you have always been jealous of to build yourself up, you actually diminish yourself. Let's have this ugly topic die, we all can figure out the truth. My grandmother used to say, "Cream always rises to the top."
