Renowned author Jackie Collins has come forward with a startling confession, disclosing that Hollywood icon Marlon Brando engaged in a s**ual relationship with her when she was just 15 years old.
The revelation sheds light on a dark chapter in the entertainment industry.
Collins shared that Brando seduced her at a glamorous Hollywood party shortly after she was expelled from a school in England.
Recalling the events, now 72-year-old Collins revealed that Brando, who was in his early thirties at the time, expressed admiration for her appearance and physique, leading to a brief yet intense affair during his peak fame and allure.
Had Collins disclosed the affair back then, Brando, a monumental figure of the 20th century, could have faced up to four years in prison under Californian law, which stipulates 18 as the legal age of consent.
The significant age gap between them would have constituted a violation of the law.
The affair allegedly took place in the summer of 1953, just before Collins turned 16, while Brando was 29.
Although Collins had previously mentioned Brando making advances towards her at a party, this recent revelation provides explicit details about their intimate involvement.
Reflecting on the encounter, Collins reminisced about Brando’s direct attention to her, focusing on her physical attributes and expressing mutual attraction.
Despite Brando having other relationships, Collins found the experience thrilling as it marked her introduction to the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, where her favorite movie star took an interest in her.
The illegal affair not only raised legal concerns but also strained Collins’ relationship with her older sister, actress Joan Collins, who reportedly had her own romantic involvement with Brando.
The aftermath of such encounters often reverberates through personal and familial dynamics, leaving lasting impacts.
Following Brando’s passing in 2004, various women have come forward to share unsettling experiences with the revered actor.
His third wife, Tarita Teriipia, alleged in a book that Brando exhibited inappropriate behavior towards their daughter, Cheyenne, suggesting a troubling pattern of misconduct within his personal life.
Moreover, Maria Schneider, Brando’s co-star in the controversial film “Last Tango In Paris,” revealed in 2007 that Brando insisted on including a scene that made her uncomfortable, highlighting a darker aspect of his on-screen persona.
These revelations shed a new light on Brando’s legacy, tarnishing the image of a Hollywood legend.
