In a covert move, Phyllis recorded their candid conversation, which has now been unveiled and quoted by The Hollywood Reporter from private investigator Fred Otash’s archives.
Amidst the heated exchange, Phyllis raised the topic of a recent Rorschach test that Rock had undergone.
She pointed out, “You mentioned seeing numerous butterflies and snakes during the test.
A psychologist informed me that butterflies symbolize femininity while snakes represent the male genitalia.
I’m not here to judge you, but acknowledging the issue is the first step towards resolving it.”
In addition to addressing Hudson’s s**ual preferences, Phyllis expressed dissatisfaction with his “unusually quick performance” in intimacy with her.
She questioned, “Is your pace the same when you are with other men?”
Defending himself, the 32-year-old Rock replied, “Physically, it’s different… Men are not compatible in that aspect.
Hence, the duration is prolonged.”
An indignant Phyllis retorted, “It’s common knowledge that shortly after our marriage, you began picking up men off the streets and have continued to do so, relying on our marital status to camouflage your actions.”
Dismissing her accusations, the star of “Magnificent Obsession” stated firmly, “I have never solicited men on the streets…
Nor have I ever engaged in such behavior at bars or elsewhere.
Any interactions were solely for offering them rides.”
Despite having close friendships with renowned stars like Doris Day and Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson’s concealed homosexuality was an open secret within the entertainment industry.
However, he refrained from publicly addressing his s**ual orientation during his lifetime.
His demise at 59 due to complications related to AIDS in 1985 sparked widespread posthumous discussions about his hidden life.
Fred Otash, the mastermind behind the revelation, had conducted surveillance on various high-profile figures for monetary gain, including Marilyn Monroe and her affair with John F. Kennedy, Judy Garland, Liberace, Bette Davis, among others.
His bold statement once declared, “I am available for any task except associating with communists.
I draw the line at anything involving murder.”
