Paul Mooney's Sons Break Silence Over Sexual Misconduct Claims Against Their Father
Earlier this year Richard Pryor's former bodyguard made some explosive allegations. He claimed that the late great comedy legend once put out a "hit" out on fellow comedian Paul Mooney.
The bodyguard claims that Richard was upset with Paul, because he allegedly seduced Richard's then underage son Richard Pryor Jr
Richard Jr is now speaking out about the bodyguard's claim.
In a new interview, Richard Pryor Jr disclosed that he received an apology from his father's former bodyguard - after the bodyguard claimed that Richard Jr was sexually abused by Paul Mooney.
While Richard Jr doesn't call Paul Mooney by name, he acknowledges that something inappropriate happed to him when he was underage - and refers to himself as a victim.
Richard claims that he's upset with the bodyguard, not because the story was a lie - but because it was "not his story to tell."
Richard Jr seems unwilling to name Paul as his accuser, or to clear him.
Junior says he has not talked to Paul, his sons who staunchly denied the reports, or anyone from his camp since the allegations were made public.

They maintain that their father pulled out of a recent gig due to ill health and not over the allegations:
"My response is 'F*c* you,'" Daryl said. "Rashon, f*c* you. OK, coming out with some bullsh*t like that when Paul is ailing, after he's old. If the sh*t was hot, you should've told that sh*t years ago. Richard Pryor Jr. ain't say nothing about it, so why you gonna tell somebody's business."

Richard Pryor Jr. Appears To Confirm He Was Molested By Paul Mooney
Paul Mooney is stepping away from the limelight for a bit after explosive rumors that he had a sexual encounter with Richard Pryor’s son went viral.
Although the comedy legend has denied Richard Pryor’s former bodyguard’s claims that he had sex with a young Pryor Jr. way back when, and that Pryor put a $1 million hit out on him, Mooney cancelled his Atlanta Comedy Theater appearance Wednesday and Thursday, August 29 due to “health reasons.”
According to TMZ. a sign on door of the comedy venue 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.”
According to the outlet, Mooney’s pulled out of several appearances following the heat he’s gotten over the alleged sexual relationship with Richard Pryor Jr made by Rashon Kahn, Pryor Sr former bodyguard.
As previously reported, Mooney’s publicist, Cassandra Williams spoke about the statement saying, “There is no validity to Rashon Kahn’s statement as it relates to Mr. Paul Mooney,” according to TMZ.
The development comes after an interview of Kahn, went viral on YouTube after it was posted by Comedy Hype on Monday, where he details the reason why the relationship between Pryor and Mooney ended.
Kahn, who has an upcoming book titled Everything Wasn’t Funny, states in the video that the two comedians “relationship became fragile because Paul Mooney had f****d Richard’s son by that time. He violated … Paul took advantage of the situation.”
Richard Pryor Jr., the son of late comedian Richard Pryor appears to confirm that he was molested by his father's former friend, Paul Mooney.
"Whatever happened in my life, it happened when I was young. Way before the '80s," Pryor Jr. told TMZ when asked about the allegations against Mooney made by his late father's former bodyguard.
The TMZ reporter then asked him whether the relationship between the two of them was consensual, to which he replied:
"How can any relationship be consensual if I was a teenager?"
His response comes a day after Mooney released a statement denying all of the allegations made against him. Pryor's former bodyguard, Rashon Kahn, claimed that his former boss put a hit out on Mooney after he had sex with his young son. The hit was reportedly worth $1 million.
"From Jo Jo Dancer [1986] on their relationship became fragile because Paul Mooney had f*cked Richard's son by that time," Kahn said.
The youth are not safe. So sorry if he had to go through that DYSFUNCTIONAL action. Paul Mooney been doing BLOWJOBS to the executives for the team to get projects implemented. Watch Richard Pryor's Roast, he mentioned it with no apology. That Mr. Mooney been taking the buck for the team. SMH.
Sure, people are born to be molesters and turn out people for the confused culture. SURE YOU'RE RIGHT
