Oh man… this was funny to read, but, maybe it really shouldn’t be. Not sure how seriously to take it, whether she was just embellishing to sell books, or if it really did happen.

I guess we could call this the quote of the day, although, it’s not just one quote. Maybe more like the conversation of the day.

Anyone planning on picking up a copy of Pam Grier’s memoir, My Life In Three Acts, which is out this week?

Well, if you’re not planning on doing so, might the below revelation about why she and Richard Pryor broke up, influence your decision otherwise?

Courtesy of Jezebel, lifted from the book, which recounts a conversation Ms Grier had with her doctor at the time she and Pryor were playing house… read on:

He said, “Pam, I want to tell you about an epidemic that’s prevalent in Beverly Hills right now. It’s a buildup of cocaine residue around the cervix and in the vagina. You have it. Are you doing drugs?”
“No,” I said, astonished.
“Well, it’s really dangerous,” he went on. “Is your partner putting cocaine on his penis to sustain his erection?”
“No,” I said, “not that I know of. It’s not like he has a pile of cocaine next to the bed and he dips his penis in it before we have sex.” I had a nauseating flash of one of Richard’s famous lines: Even my dick has a cocaine jones.
“Are you sure he isn’t doing it in the bathroom before he comes to bed?” the doctor asked.
“That’s a possibility,” I said. “You know, I am dating Richard Pryor.”
“Oh, my God,” he said. “We have a serious problem here. If he’s not putting it on his skin directly, then it’s worse because the coke is in his seminal fluid.”
The doctor then asks her if her mouth went numb while performing oral sex on Pryor, which she says it did, and which he links to the Novocaine-like effects of cocaine.

Wooow! TMI much Pam? Also, maybe your mouth went numb for other reasons, while giving dear Richard blowjobs.

Anywho… further investigating on Jezebel’s part revealed that “it’s extremely unlikely that there could be any toxic vagina effect of cocaine,” and that either Pam is remembering the conversation with her doctor incorrectly (although, that seems like one hell of a conversation to forget), or her doctor was trying to “scare her into making a major life change!” Like what? Break up with Richard Pryor, so he could have her to himself?

Regardless, I suppose the moral of the story is, USE CONDOMS – especially if your partner is a drug user of any sort.

I still don’t have much interest in buying the book though. However, if you do, CLICK HERE to make your purchase.

Richard Pryor… you lucky SOB
