Richard Pryor’s widow, Jennifer Lee Pryor, has confirmed that Quincy Jones’ comment about Richard sleeping with Marlon Brando in his latest interview with Vulture was true.

“It was the ’70s!” she said to TMZ. “Drugs were still good, especially quaaludes. If you did enough cocaine, you’d f—k a radiator and send it flowers in the morning.”

Jennifer Lee took to Twitter to further confirm Jones’ statement.

“If you listen to Richard’s comedy — the early stuff — he was way ahead of his time on gay rights!!! #noshame,” she tweeted.

In the Vulture interview, Jones said Brando would sleep with anything.

“He was the most charming motherf—er you ever met,” Jones said. “He’d f—k anything. Anything! He’d f—k a mailbox. James Baldwin. Richard Pryor. Marvin Gaye.”

When asked to confirm, Jones frowned.

“Come on, man,” Jone said. “He did not give a f—k!”
