Actor Richard Pryor Jr, son of late comedian Richard Pryor, has confirmed reports that he was sexually assaulted by comedian Paul Mooney when he was a boy.
Richard Pryor opened up on the incident after his former bodyguard Rashon Khan made the revelation in an interview.
According to Khan, the relationship between Richards Pryor Jnr’s father and Paul Mooney deteriorated around 1986, because “Mooney had f**k*d Richard’s son by that time.”
He added that Pryor Snr was so angry when he found out about the situation that he almost hired a hitman for $1million to kill Paul Mooney.
In an interview with TMZ, Richard Pryor opened up on the past incident saying:
“Whatever happened in my life, it happened when I was young. Way before the eighties,” said Richard Jr, now 58. When asked if he was in a consensual relationship, Richard Jr. said, “How could any relationship be consensual if I was a teenager?”
