Earlier this week, a candid interview with Quincy Jones–in which the legendary producer affirmed a sexual relationship between the late comedian Richard Pryor and the late "Godfather" actor Marlon Brando–quickly made headlines. On Thursday, the comedian's daughter, Rain Pryor, dismissed those claims, calling the interview "sensationalized." 

In a post published on her Facebook page, Pryor insisted Jones lied about her father, who isn't alive to defend himself. 

"All you who touted Faux News and preach about wanting blacks to be represented in a great light and then posted Q’s interview are irrelevant and full of your own BS," she wrote in part." Q, was once a brilliant music producer who is losing his mind, and decided to garner publicity for himself with a sensationalized interview; and because y’all think and equate Fame and Money with decency, you ate it up like thirsty dogs, as he spewed out a lie about my father who’s not here to defend himself…"

Pryor also took issue with her father's widow, Jennifer Lee Pryor, who confirmed Jones' claims in an interview with TMZ. She told TMZ her late husband would not be ashamed of the interview and said Pryor was open with his bisexuality.

She also wrote on Twitter:"… It was the 70's: enough cocaine and good music-one could [f***] a radiator and send it flowers in the morning!…"

Rain Pryor also accused her father's widow of tarnishing her father's legacy. 

"…Then on top of it all, my dad’s so-called widow validated it, because she needs to keep legitimizing herself and tarnish our dad even after he’s dead," she wrote on Facebook. "She hated Q and Daddy…"

In a follow-up post, Pryor directly addressed the claims about her father and Brando, writing "Daddy did NOT have relations with Brando…" She, too, shared her father was open about his life and had an open relationship with a transgender woman. 

When asked on Twitter about the historical significance of her father's reported sexual fluidity, Pryor responded, stating Jones' interview was "made for shock."

"Fluidity of sexuality is an important topic as long as those who we are speaking can chime in," she wrote. "In this case four men are dead and the statement was made for shock, not historical content. Nothing wrong with being LGBTQ."
