Back in February, Quincy Jones did an in-depth interview that revealed a lot about his musical endeavors with Michael Jackson and tales of working in the music industry for over a decade. One tidbit of the interview that has since blown up into something even bigger, was Quincy's allegations that actor Marlon Brando and former stand-up comedian, Richard Pryor, slept together.

After it made headlines, Richard's widow, Jennifer, basically confirmed it but Richard's daughter, Rain, slammed Quincy for saying such a thing adding that he's crazy for spewing "out a lie about" her father "who’s not here to defend himself."

TMZ recently caught up with Jennifer who thinks Rain needs to be proud of who her father was. "I think Rain has trouble with the truth herself," Jennifer says in the video below. "She doesn't wanna, I mean, she was not there...she wasn't there. It's kind of sad wishful thinking and I don't know why she's ashamed. She shouldn't be, she should be proud of her father's truth."

When Jennifer was first approached on the matter she told the paparazzi: "It was the '70s! Drugs were still good, especially quaaludes. If you did enough cocaine, you'd f*** a radiator and send it flowers in the morning."

Richard died on December 10, 2005.
