It's safe to say that Richard Pryor's widow, Jennifer Lee Pryor, is no fan of Bill Cosby. At all. In fact, she might hate him more than his three dozen accusers.
In a sitdown for Alison Rosen's podcast, Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend, Lee absolutely goes off on the 77-year-old comedian in epic fashion.
In light of the shocking sexual assault allegations against Cosby, Lee, who also served as a manager for Pryor, wasn't shy about sharing her insight.
"It was a well-kept secret that Bill f--ked everything that moved," she claimed.
However, "this kind of s--t that we're finding out about is beyond."
"I wasn't aware of this kind of business. There are people in the business who were aware of it," Pryor's widow adds, "and they're coming out now too."
"The condescension going on and the holier than thou. It got so over-the-top," she said of Bill's attitude, evident in his defiant, non-apologetic statements.
As for "people in the business" who knew, she didn't name names, but comics such as Roseanne Barr and Patton Oswald have also said as much.
Lee also was quick to defend her late husband Richard, no stranger to controversy himself, from any comparisons to the embattled, 77-year-old Cosby.
Yes, Richard Pryor was at times embroiled in personal and professional problems, but he's nothing like Cosby, who she says is just a terrible individual.
"Richard was dirty on the outside, but he was a good person, he was clean on the inside," she said, referencing Pryor's raunchy comedy and personal demons.
"Bill? F--k. He's a piece of shit," she added. "He's done."
"Clean, oh, 'clean.' He hated Richard because Richard ... he 'worked dirty.' Bill worked clean, so therefore, you know, Bill’s just a f--king hypocrite, and dirty on the inside."

She also took shots at Cosby's wife Camille, calling the couple judgmental and when asked if his wife knew what her man was up to, said, "I think she had to."
Recalling an evening where she and Pryor had the couple over for dinner, Lee said she felt particularly slighted by what she felt was their air of superiority.
“Here's the perfect couple sitting right there for us to feel so ashamed. The perfect Camille, the perfect Bill. I never felt so judged and shamed in all my life."
Camille has defended Bill, as has is Cosby Show TV wife Phylicia Rashad, decrying the accusers as waging some form of conspiracy, in recent months.
Cosby has never been charged in any case regarding the accusations against him, though they just keep surfacing, one after another after another.
