They’ll offer a rare look inside Pryor’s private life and his thoughts on sexuality. Jennifer, who was married to Richard twice, from 1981 to 1982 and from 2001 until his death in 2005, is publishing his diaries through Rare Bird Books this October. “Not with any men, because he said he’d get jealous.” Jennifer said that back in the day, she just looked at it as “boys being boys.” “Richard and I had threesomes,” she added. “Knowing Richard, it was a one-off thing,” she said, suggesting they probably fooled around after a night dancing, hanging out, and doing drugs. Most of Pryor’s hookups with men, Jennifer said, were one-off encounters - often with men who were considered straight - and that’s likely what happened with him and Brando. “And in the ’70s, of course, we were all doing it.”
“Instead of putting labels on it, Richard just saw himself as a sexualized creature, who wasn’t afraid of exploration and experimentation,” she said. Now, she promises that there are plenty more stories where that came from. “Quincy started pouring the tea,” Jennifer Pryor, Richard Pryor’s widow, said over the phone, “and I had to take that teakettle away from him.” The last 24 hours has brought the news, thanks to an interview with Quincy Jones on Vulture, that Richard once hooked up with Marlon Brando, something Jennifer was happy to confirm.
