Jennifer Lee Pryor, who was twice married to the comedian, corroborates claims by music producer Quincy Jones, noting that ‘it was the 70s’ and ‘drugs were still good’The widow of Richard Pryor has confirmed a claim by music producer Quincy Jones that the late comedian and Marlon Brando were lovers in the 1970s. Jones first made the allegation in a wide-ranging interview with New York Magazine while talking about Brando’s sexual habits. Pryor’s widow Jennifer Lee Pryor later corroborated Jones’s comments, telling TMZ that the comedian, who was openly bisexual, would be “cracking up” about his relationship with Brando being made public. Lee Pryor added that Pryor had written extensively about his sexual relationships in his diaries, which she says will be published later this year. He and Lee Pryor divorced after a year together in 1982, but remarried in 2001 and remained together until his death.
