Marlon Brando Raped his Daughter Cheyenne

Marlon Brando has been sensationally accused of sexually abusing his own daughter .The late legendary actor, is also branded a disgusting pervert by his Tahitian-born ex-wife Tarita Terpia , the actress - who first met the 'Apocalypse Now' star in 1961 on the set of classic movie 'Mutiny on the Bounty' before marrying him in 1962 - claims Brando sexually abused their daughter Cheyenne, who hanged herself in 1995.

According to Tarita, Cheyenne wrote in her diary that her father used to massage her "as if he wanted me to pretend we were making love". Tarita - who also had a son Teihotu with Brando - speculates that the abuse could have contributed to her daughter's decision to commit suicide later in her life. Just before she died, Cheyenne's boyfriend was killed by Christian Brando, the actor's son from an earlier marriage.

The ageing actress - who divorced Brando in 1972 - claims her life with the Oscar-winning star was a living hell and describes him as a man of violently changing moods, capable of switching in an instant from tenderness to physical or mental cruelty.

Speaking in an interview , Tarita said: "We lived terrible tragedies and we all suffered a lot."

Marlon started out as a great actor but ended up as a very weird person, very over-indulgent, multiple lovers and children, difficult on movie sets and morbidly obese at the end. Strange man and even stranger life. Disrupted the lives of those around him.

I believe Cheyenne.

(N.B: Quincy Jones stated in an article that "Marlon Brando would fuck anything" )

According to Darwin Porter, he raped his son also.

The sound quality is really bad when she is speaking. I had to look for another version on YouTube.

I believe her. Brando was a great actor but beloved his own hype and disappeared into his own asshole.

He really would fuck anything too. That’s not a compliment. Loved older women and also liked to service hung men.

Cheyenne was so screwed up. I don’t know what happened or how far it went, I just don’t think that he was protecting her the way a father should. His whole family was a tragic mess.

I guess it all comes down to what you believe since neither one is here to answer the accusation. A memoir isn't evidence.

by Anonymousreply 9April 9, 2018 1:21 AM

Rumors about incest with Cheyenne have been floating around since the 90s.

Without any evidence, my supposition is that they're true. Brando really became a dreadful person, crazy and self-indulgent and narcissistic, despising conventional morality and any sort of rules. If he wanted to fuck his kids, he wouldn't see why he shouldn't.

by Anonymousreply 10April 9, 2018 2:28 AM

Without any evidence, I think it could be true, but it might not be. Makes no difference to me.

None of his kids have turned out well

by Anonymousreply 12April 9, 2018 4:08 AM

If any of this awful conjecture is true, then he was a pedophile, a criminal and a horrid person who should not be lionized just because he could act. So the fuck what. He should have his picture hung in the Gallery of Hollywood Sex Offenders alongside Polanski and Weinstein et. al. And incest is so much worse than even what Polanski did, and that's saying something. Truly fucking monstrous.

by Anonymousreply 13April 9, 2018 4:45 AM

I believe it too.

Brando was majorly fucked-up all his life; he just stopped trying to control/ hide it as he got older.

by Anonymousreply 14April 9, 2018 8:54 AM

I thought that Brando allegedly had an inappropriate sexual relationship with his mother? That explains a lot.

The crew of MOTB also gave the Tahitian women extras on the film set a variety of STDS too. Disgusting.

From Paris match interview

Cheyenne Brando: Well, they should see him walking around in his pajamas with a hole in his pants, a hole that is not supposed to be there. They would see that he just doesn't care when he comes and knocks on my door all the time. He is a hypocrite.

R19 Because it's an industry where it's very easy to find "fresh meat" willing to do anything and if you have power it's like an unlimited access to a self-renewing bordello, basically. For one that says no there are ten that say yes, or the other way around, doesn't matter to the predators.

Actors have to go to certain places and be able to access deep emotions...Sometimes they play disturbing characters, complicated characters. Damaged characters. The human condition etc. They have to get in there and sell it.. Thus, perhaps the better actor you are, the deeper down the rabbit hole you may find yourself slipping. And the lines start to blur.

Not to defend Brando who was certainly a very bad father but Cheyenne's mother was polynesian and Courts have many sex offences cases every year there particularly incest cases. Between the father and her mother's culture, the girl didn't stand à chance.

He was a massive sex addict. Everyone laughs at the concept but it’s as serious an addiction as any other drug. He needed help but since shit like this is basically fucking normal in Hollywood he never got it. His kids and who knows how many others paid the price.

And there’s cases of incest everywhere in every culture, especially ones marked by extreme poverty r32. The southern USA being a prominent example. It’s never an excuse in any circumstance.

Marlon also got grotesquely obese. What was eating him?

by Anonymousreply 36April 9, 2018 6:42 PM

Yes, Brando was a total weirdo from day one and it got worse and worse.

I never thought he was all that as an actor, and I never understood why he was considered good looking or sexy. Apparently he didn't either since he destroyed all of it.

I think with some of these successful actors, they are in a state of arrested adolescence. They can be 40 yrs old and still be emotionally 15. They have tons of money and no one to restrain them and eventually they get crazy and perverse.

Years ago when Cheyenne was in a treatment facility outside Boston, Marlon bought a trailer/motor home that he parked just outside the center’s property. He lived in the trailer throughout her time in treatment (a few months) so that he could visit her as often as possible and be close. My brother worked at the center as a nurse.

Either a father’s dedication to his mentally ill daughter or his absolute need for control over her; take it as you will,

by Anonymousreply 43April 9, 2018 9:30 PM

R43 It's the latter, her mother Tarita recounted stories in her book about Marlon total control over Cheyenne treatment, he once released her from a french hospital without her mother' knowledge after Cheyenne was considerably improved in that hospital , he said Cheyenne just needs me, her condition worsened again.

by Anonymousreply 44April 9, 2018 10:42 PM

R43 From Tarita Teripia roughly translated book :

"France seems like a place of peace. In the clinic everyone is very friendly. Cheyenne is getting better and better. She learns to relax, gradually regains sleep and appetite and enjoys the walks in the beautifully planted clinic park.

How long have we not experienced such a happy moment? On the 26th of June, we celebrate Tuki's first birthday in Cheyenne's room . Her face glows as before, and when you see her with her son in her lap, both bend over the cake, you might think she is simply a happy young mother. Cheyenne seems to be improving.

"Cheyenne calls her father from Le Vésinet. But he does not want to come to France, maybe he does not have time, I do not know. I am disappointed and do not want to talk to him anymore. I do not even want Cheyenne to speak of him. How can he refuse to come where she needs him?

But one afternoon in November someone calls me out of the clinic. Cheyenne has packed and left the hospital. "I beg your pardon? She's gone? " Her father picked her up. We thought you knew- "" Her father? But her father is not in France. "" Yes, Madame, Monsieur Brando is in France, he just picked her up. "I do not know why he kidnapped her. And why he did tell me ? For several hours I am beside myself with sorrow and anger. Then the phone rings. It's Marlon. He wants me to come with Tuki and Raiatua to a house near Paris. Why did not he inform me earlier?

As always, Marlon makes no explanation. Later, we meet Marlon and Cheyenne in a big house in the middle of the country Close to Orléans. At least he seems to imagine that Cheyenne could be cured by his presence and the beauty of this place. Unfortunately, the opposite happens. While she was constantly under control in Le Vésinet, Cheyenne is suddenly left to herself, complains soon of insomnia, and I see again in her eyes that fear flare up, which also frightens me. As if everything would start again. After ten months of mental balance, rest, and hope, Cheyenne is in a worse condition again."

I always err on the side of caution when it comes to accusations like this but something tells me that it's probably true. You could tell that in his later years that Brando was living a life of debauchery and was unhinged.

by Anonymousreply 47April 9, 2018 11:01 PM

Meh. Her accusations seem very ambigious - she doesn't allege anything as undeniably sexual as genital penetration or tongue kissing. We must also take into account that that interview took place in the early 90s, as the child care abuse hysteria -- as well as the bogus "recovered memory" movement -- were peaking.

R40 yes, due to the trauma she suffered by her father abusing her.

by Anonymousreply 50April 10, 2018 2:10 AM

Somewhat off-topic but is there any known specific reason she chose to wear her hair so short and butch towards the end of her life? Beautiful woman, but it really was not the most flattering style for her, especially considering Tahitian women are pretty renowned for their long, thick, wavy hair.

by Anonymousreply 51April 10, 2018 3:14 AM

It's not surprising that Cheyenne went off the rails if her father was abusing her. I remember rumours about this around the time Christian shot Dag. I think the Brando men all had a piece of this beautiful young woman. I guess she cut her hair short, R51, to desexualise herself. Many victims of abuse try to make themselves as unattractive as possible to their abuser but it rarely works.

by Anonymousreply 52April 10, 2018 5:06 AM

R35 poverty didn't concern Brando's household. I don't know about incest among southerners in the US. But i do know about the history of sex in Tahiti ( see Bougainvillé or Cook), customs of Tahiti (the family house where children and adults where sleeping all together) and the high rate of Child abuse case judged by Tahiti court. My point is where was the mother when the alleged abuses took place ? Why didn't she protect her child ? How much her cultural background influenced her ? What happened with the brother Christian who murdered her sister's lover ( which is telling in itself ?) We have laws against abuse and rape and they applied on Tiehaaora (Brando's island).And i don't excuse Brando who is a sorry excuse for a father even if a great actor.

R35, kindly I say you don't get it. It's not an addiction. It's a mental illness. An offshoot of OCD? An addiction is to a substance. No matter what, the person is sick and obsessed. It's a malfunction of the mind. Not like addicted to cigs, Valium, heroin or alcohol. You can get off of most substances and be fine. You get what I'm saying. This sickness Brando had was his brain chemistry being altered by experiences and genetics.
