Twitter Shocked by allegation Comedian Paul Mooney was involved with Richard Pryor’s Son

Not a rape, apparently?

(And no, I'm not a shill. I've got no idea who any of those people are.)

Richard Pryor's son was born in 1961.

Dude was in his 20s at the relevant time

Incredible how quick the homophobic spin was.

Richard roasting Paul

Roast

Cannot wait to see how this turns out. Paul Mooney is a hilarious, but a bitter queen, who is color struck. Karma is more than a female dog.

How is he color struck, r7?

R7, you summed P. Mooney perfectly, when he bitches about Oprah Winfrey, I'd swear he's a Datalounger.

R8, Mooney insists that O.J. Simpson & Micheal Jackson are completely innocent & all victims of "The Man".

I've worked with Mooney and he really is a terrible man. I do think he is amazingly talented but I am very glad to see that the biggest news his name will be linked to is this story.

How is he terrible?

R10 That he hooked up with a 20-something adult 35 years ago?

Pryor was hardly a stranger to dick. Not sure why he freaked like that.

Paul Mooney is a brilliant comedian but he is incredibly bitter. Never knew he was an old queen though.

He’s ALLEGEDLY an old queen.

He comes across as effeminate

Wasn't Pryor unusually gay-friendly for his time and even publicly admitted to having sucked dick himself? And suddenly he's supposed to have been this psychotic homophobe who wanted his friend [italic]killed[/italic] for having consensual sex with his adult son? This makes no sense.

Love Paul Mooney but I believe this

Believe he had sex with a 25 year old dude?

Why am I not understanding the scandal? No mention of rape and they are both adults.

Any headline that begins with Twitter reacts is Garbage.

I always assumed PM was gay .Didnt everyone?

Paul denies the accusation

What allegation? Sex between consenting adults?

It’s also being reported as an allegation he had sex with an underage RP Junior

Yawn....

Here's an old quote from LSA

[Quote] Paul Mooney has been a client of a good friend of mine who owns a high end dry cleaning business. I've seen him on many occasions while visiting her throughout the years. His clothes are DISGUSTING DIRTY AND SMELLY and he has a penchant for white thuggish wife beater wearing bottoms with corn rows. I mean that's all we see him with and all they do is come in with him/her/whatever, drop Ms. Mooney's filthy clothes on the counter and drive her around like Daisy. Ms. Mooney is a freak and a half to put it mildly and a dirty one at that.

R24. You lie. He was in his 20s.

Also, Richard Pryor fucked Marlon Brando. Take your homophobic ass elsewhere, OP. The Bellagio perhaps.

Pryor could still have flipped out about his friend - a fellow comedian, not just a "civilian" - fucking his son.

Pryor was a victim of a horrific rape himself and may have even gotten the wrong idea about what happened. Freaked out because it was his kid.

From the interview.

"“Their relationship became fragile because Paul Mooney has f**ked Richard’s son by that time. He was violated. Paul took advantage of the situation. There was a time where Paul Mooney was Richard’s friend. So when Paul did what he did it was a violation of friendship first, then ‘my son’."

Sounds rapey to me.

LSA also claimed that Pryor's song was a drag queen. Is that true?

Huh?

Correction:

[Quote] LSA also claimed that Pryor's SON was a drag queen. Is that true?

I'd be pissed if my friend had sex with my kid even if it were consensual or the kid was of age. There are boundaries. The question we'll never know is if Pryor considered it molestation or the story got misconstrued. I saw Rashon Khan in a Pryor documentary, he definitely seems like he could get things wrong.

Here is Junior's drag alterego.

1970s pic of the Richard Pryors.

All grown up.

Wow that drag pic......

*Homophobic Black Twitter Shocked by allegation Comedian Paul Mooney was involved with Richard Pryor’s Son

Does "Black Twitter" = the hideous, vile, shrieking harpies of Lipstick Alley?

Oh my

Rape of an adult male, outside of prison, is rare.

His son was in his 20s when Richard made an issue out of it, but how old was Jr. when it started with Mooney? Maybe that is the issue?

It's not rape but a lot of parents would be pissed if their friends or co workers fucked their kids.

Stop using black Twitter and LSA as an excuse to be racist. They're no different than DL. And you fucking know it.

Many years ago I watched an interview with Mooney. The conversation turned to race relations. Mooney said he'd been called n----r by lots of white people in his lifetime and he had the same response each time. He said "when a white man calls me a n----r, I say 'and you're a n----r lover' right back, and it gets 'em every time." Priceless!

I wonder what Negrodamus has to say about Paul Mooney's future!

R46 is insane and thinks to mention anything ⚫️ is racist.

In that last linked article it says it was confirmed by RP's widow.

That they fucked in his 20s, not a rape

Oh my

TMZ: Richard Jr. didn't want to touch the alleged hit, but he quickly pivoted to the topic of sex ... saying that "whatever happened to me" took place long ago when he was young, suggesting he was molested as a teenager well before the '80s. He does not name Paul Mooney.

RPJ never gave us a specific age, but afterward his rep told us it was definitely "under the age of consent" when we asked about Kahn's allegation pertaining to Mooney. It should be noted though, Richard Jr. didn't name any names on camera, so it's unclear who he's talking about here.

On the claim that someone had sex with him as a teen -- our photog asks if it was consensual. Watch the clip ... Jr. let us know, in no uncertain terms, it could NOT have been.

As we reported, Mooney flat-out denied the bodyguard's allegations, saying there's no truth to anything Kahn said. We've reached out to them regarding this new Richard Jr. claim, but so far no word back.

Pryor's widow, Jennifer Lee, has said Richard Jr. has previously accused Mooney of sexually assaulting him ... during a family event, which she claims to have on tape.

Didn't Junior write a book ("In a Pryor Life")? None of this was broached in the book?

Bump

Something fishy about this whole story, something left out. I don't want to speculate on what happened but every gay guy I know had some kind of sexual experience with someone older when they were young or extremely young.

@ R56 Y-a-w-n…silly old homophobic trope: all geighs are molesters/predators, or victims of same. Tonette is that you? Something fishy about you, Frau. Pun intended.

Smdh

Someone kept yammering on and on that it was when Pryor Jr. was in his 20s, so, so what? He posted this same thing 4 times.

Now, Richard Pryor Jr. has clarified it was "way before the '80s" when he was a teen. And that it was non-consentual. That same person is saying "something fishy." Why are you defending Mooney fucking a teenager?

TMZ: We've learned the owner of the Atlanta Comedy Theater has now offered full refunds to those who were expecting to attend the show tonight. He's also passing out free tickets for future shows. Paul Mooney isn't leaping at the opportunity to show his face in public after being accused of misconduct with Richard Pryor Jr. -- the comic just pulled out of a show -- and we're told he'll be taking the next few weeks off.

Mooney was set to take the stage Wednesday in Atlanta at the ATL Comedy Theater, where he was serving as the MC for the night in a long lineup of comedians. But, a sign outside the venue made it clear ... PM wasn't going to show.

The sign reads, "ATTENTION!! Paul Mooney is NOT on show tonight due to health reasons. We will transfer purchase to Faizon Love or Donnell Rawlings. Let box office know."

R56 what in the entire fuck are u talking about?

Will Richard Pryor Jr tell the full story now that Mooney has died?
