“You’re So Vain” singer, Carly Simon, has just recently revealed that she had some very risque encounters with two old school icons- Redd Foxx and Marvin Gaye. When we first read what she revealed in her new autobiography, Boys In The Trees, we all said a collective “Say whaaaat?!!” I must admit that after reading Janis Gaye’s (Marvin Gaye’s wife) recent autobiography, we weren’t completely shocked at Carly’s claims about Marvin, but the story she told about Redd Foxx was a little more surprising, only because we don’t typically hear those types of claims about him, unlike our beloved Mr. Gaye.
Simon revealed that before she hit it big in music, she was working as a secretary for a TV variety show and it was during that time that she was sexually advanced upon by both legends in a bold, no-holds-barred type of way. Here is what was Rolling Stone Magazine detailed about Simon’s encounters with Foxx and Gaye:

When Simon’s career was slow to take off, she found jobs as a summer-camp counselor and as a secretary on a TV variety show. Her first day on the set, she had to go to the dressing room of comedian Redd Foxx, who promptly dropped his trademark red-fox fur coat, revealing that he was stark naked underneath. She quickly fled.
Marvin Gaye, in his dressing room, was stripped only to the waist, but when he asked Simon to stick out her tongue, “Marvin lunged at my face, swept my tongue into his mouth, and began sucking on it. I extracted it without inflicting damage.”

Laaaaawd! It sounds like Redd Foxx was trying to get Carly the heck out of his dressing room ASAP- either that, or he was trying to get her to come in and “turn off the lights” like Teddy P.  As far as Carly’s ‘Marvin Gaye encounter,’ that was just weird….well, both encounters were weird, but the thing that we’re still curious about for both of those incidents is what exactly happened immediately afterwards and how awkward was it that very next time Carly Simon saw Foxx and Gaye at her job? One thing is for certain, if Carly’s claims are accurate (which they probably are, because if not, she could be sued for millions by Gaye’s lawyered up and ready to aim children…something I’m sure she doesn’t want to risk) then Marvin Gaye and Redd Foxx must have been trying to get some “sexual healing” that day.
