How Richard Pryor Gave Pam Grier a Cocaine-Encrusted Vagina

Look, I'm going to put as little distance between that headline and the actual anecdote as possible. In Pam Grier's new memoir Foxy: My Life in Three Acts (which is now a must-buy), she recounts how a conversation with her doctor led to her breakup with Richard Pryor. Stars, they are not just like us:

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."

Also recounted in the anecdote, says Jezebel, is that "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."

The writers of Nurse Jackie, Grey's Anatomy, and Private Practice all just bolted upright, screaming, "How have we missed this?"

    This is by far the coolest thing I have ever read. Richard Pryor just keeps on giving laughs from the grave. God bless him.

  • "Dr. Jan Gurley, a physician who works at a public-health clinic for the homeless in San Francisco"
    I don't think the homeless have enough coke lying around to just slather it on their junk for kicks. She should call whatever doctor it is that celebrities go to when they need a prescription for aderrall.

    Ms. Grier, you have GOT to tell this story on "The Howard Stern Show!"

  • Hugh Johnson says:

    Daddy rich is the fu#@%$g man!

  • Franky says:

    Ms. Grier, you have GOT to tell this story on "The Howard Stern Show!"
    Yeah, just in case anybody still listens to that crap.

  • queenofromania says:

    Richard Pryor once said, "Cocaine is God's way of telling you that you have too much money." No. Putting cocaine on your Johnson is God's way of telling you that you have too much money.

    I've lived among the Hollywood coke class and their personal lives are NOT funny. They are reason for the banalizing of drugs in America and they are the reason we're in a drug war with Mexicans and the rest of Latin America. They are why some 900 girls are dead in Juarez. And don't make light of it!
