It seems like the Richard Pryor family drama between his late wife and his children is about to finally spill into the public.
If you are not familiar, Jennifer Lee Pryor, (the late wife of Pryor who famously married him twice) who is also the sole heir to the Pryor Estate was in a constant legal battle with Pryor’s children. Most of the details of the legal drama that started when Pryor was still alive was never revealed to the public. Many knew of the legal problems, but no one knew what the issues were about.
That’s all about to change.
According to a press release that is being created this week, a statement will be presented about the legal problems between the family and most importantly about another new documentary that was in pre-production when Pryor was still alive. This new film which was originally shut down by Jennifer Lee Pryor AFTER she had initially agreed to the making of the film is supposedly going to include Pryor’s children and his closest friends, all of whom were mysteriously absent from the current Showtime film, Richard Pryor: Omit The Logic.
After we were sent the below clip from the new documentary we have an idea of what is going to be included in the new documentary, but its a clip you have to see for yourself. The film, made by Maija Digiorgio, also includes interviews with George Carlin, Whoopi Goldberg, Chevy Chase, Jerry Stiller, Christopher Titus, and many more including the last known interview of Richard Pryor’s life.
