  Speaker 2: Hello and welcome to American Top 40.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: I'm Casey Kasem.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: Monday, Monday, so good to me Monday morning, it was
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: all I hoped it would be Oh, Monday morning, Monday morning, couldn't.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Guarantee Hello and welcome to yet another Murder Monday. It's
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: another beautiful day in the murder hood. if you will.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Today is going to kind of be an expansion on
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: something we talked about a little before. Remember, going back
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: a couple weeks ago, month ago, can't even remember, in
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Motown Murder Machine Part 3, we briefly discussed Eddie Murphy's
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: tranny incident. Well, there happens, people, to be way, way,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: way the fuck more to that story, and I can't
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: wait to share it with you. But before we begin,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: no significant current events in Murder World, although I just
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: keep seeing The Clancy case, obviously, you guys know where
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I'm at. That guy in Philadelphia or Pittsburgh or wherever
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: he was from, the House of Horrors, that Eugene guy.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: And the DNA analyst that was in charge of the
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: JonBenet Ramsey case going to prison. Now, say what you will,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: there's probably quite an interesting story behind that woman. Removing
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: male DNA specimens from hundreds of cases. Now, again, I
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: don't know what she did to get thrown under the bus.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Maybe she gave herself up. She was just sick and
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: tired of the game. She couldn't be paid off any longer.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: The conscience was weighing on her. Turned herself in. I
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: don't know. We've got a lot to discuss today, though.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: A lot to discuss today. And I hope I don't
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: disappoint you, because... I thought this was highly interesting. If
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: you love what I do, though, leave a five-star review.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: And if you're new, welcome to Murder Monday. And if
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: you are a long-time listener and member of Room 237,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: welcome back. And without further ado, if you're ready, I'm ready.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Clenched b-holes of the ready people, let us begin. We're
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: gonna travel back in time a little bit, all you
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: 90s babies out there. I'm a 90s kid. And while
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I don't particularly remember the Tranny incident, there's a lot
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: of Eddie Murphy stuff that I grew up with. The old,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: the new, the continuing. But in 1997, one of the
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: biggest and definitely strangest scandals in Hollywood history was took place.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Eddie Murphy's car was stopped by police and he was
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: found with a transsexual prostitute inside. The official story of
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: what went down that night is strange enough, but there
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: is also way more to the story, including a Hollywood fixer,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: quote unquote, who may have saved Murphy's career. But a
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: very suspicious death that many believe was stone cold murder
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: also ensued. So Eddie fucking Murphy. Now think about it
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: for a second. He was the biggest movie star alive
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: in the 1980s almost. But for whatever reason, his career
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: took a serious nosedive once the early 90s arrived. And
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: for reasons we will discuss, it seems like out of nowhere,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: and I remember this, he started releasing all these family-friendly
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: comedies targeted more towards kids like The Nutty Professor and Dr. Doolittle.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: And sure, you know, they were smash hits and his
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: career was seemingly revitalized as a family-friendly movie star. which
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: was a far cry from movies like Vampire in Brooklyn
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: and Boomerang and all those others. He was like a
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: sex symbol, you know, and turned Dr. Dolittle Nutty Professor.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: But anyways, was this sudden shift in his career due
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: to what happened on May 2nd, 1997? So, the official
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: story is... Just hang with me. The official story is,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Murphy was out driving at approximately 4.45 a.m. in West Hollywood,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: a neighborhood known for transsexual prostitutes, and a trans prostitute
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: named Addison Ciulli got into his Land Cruiser. Police stopped
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: the car, not exactly sure why. Maybe Dude was sucking
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Eddie off and he was swerving all over the goddamn place,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: who knows? But they proceeded to stop him and interrogated
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Murphy and actually ended up arresting Sciulli because Dude had
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: an outstanding warrant. Murphy himself wasn't charged with a crime,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: even though he had clearly picked up a prostitute and
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: his official story... Oh boy.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Oh... Oh, boy.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: His official story was that he claimed he'd seen a
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: woman out walking very late at night and decided to
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: be a good Samaritan and offer her a ride home
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: and had no idea whatsoever she was actually a tranny prostitute.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Are you fucking kidding me? So he doesn't get charged for...
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: For picking up a tranny prostitute. Any kind of a prostitute.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: That's illegal. But he doesn't get charged. Siuli. Had a
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: warrant for. His her arrest. So Siuli gets taken in.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: But he was just being a good Samaritan. He was
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: just out and about. Approximately 4 or 45. In the
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: morning in West Hollywood. In a neighborhood known for transsexual prostitutes. And.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: He thought he'd seen a woman all alone walking down
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: the street, and he thought to himself, I'm Eddie Murphy,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: and I'm a good Samaritan, and I'm just going to
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: pick this poor woman up, and that's the story, folks.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: This good Samaritan explanation was ridiculed and ridiculed and mocked,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: but Murphy claimed it was all just a big misunderstanding.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: But the controversy got more serious when tabloid newspapers came
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: out with articles featuring other transsexual prostitutes who claimed they'd
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: been with Murphy and some went into graphic detail about
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: what they'd done together. And one of them literally looked
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: like J-Lo identically. I mean doppelganger shit. looked like J-Lo identically.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: I'm not even kidding. And it makes me wonder if
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: the real Jenny might have had a block in her pants. Okay,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: but this is not a J-Lo episode. Just putting that
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: on the table. Anyways, one trans sex worker named Summer St.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Cirilli said that Murphy, quote, seems utterly obsessed with men
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: dressed as women and the way they live, end quote.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: The Inquirer also had an interview with Addison Ciulli, the
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: one he got busted with by police, and Addison said, quote,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Eddie claiming that he was giving me a lift makes
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: me laugh. I'm a transsexual hooker, and he knew that.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: The articles were a complete disaster for Murphy's new emerging
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: family-friendly image, and he ended up filing separate $ 5 million
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: lawsuits against the tabloids, alleging that the papers had printed
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: false statements about him, and false statements from these transsexual prostitutes.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: But the papers stood by their stories, and they prepared
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: to defend themselves against Murphy's lawsuits. And what happens then?
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Because Ed is in the hot seat. What's he gonna do? Well,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: out of nowhere... Murphy found an unlikely ally who might
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: just be able to save him. This dude was a
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: mysterious ass Hollywood fixer, quote unquote, who was once one
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: of the biggest gay porn stars in the industry. So
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: how Eddie knew him or came to know him, it's unclear.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: let you use your imagination there, but this gay porno
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: star had a plan to save Eddie Murphy's reputation. His
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: name was Paul Barresi. In 2001, Paul actually talked about
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: his involvement in the Eddie Murphy transsexual scandal for an
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: article titled.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: The Bagman.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Which appeared in the Times and was awarded runner-up for
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: the Best Hard News Story at the LA Press Club Awards.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: And his account of the Eddie Murphy controversy is absolutely wild. So,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: first off, Paul Barresi is a really mysterious dude. This
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Hollywood figure who was, again, a very popular gay porn
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: star in the 1980s. But get this shit. He also
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: acted in a few mainstream movies, including Perfect with John
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Travolta in 1983. And he made headlines when he claimed
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: he had sexual encounters with Travolta dozens and dozens of times.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Family Guy even makes fun of Travolta. You remember the skit,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Am I Crazy? I could probably find it. And it's
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: showing like John Travolta marrying, what's her name, Kelly something.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: And he's like, I promise to be a good husband
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: and touch a penis and whatever. Basically saying like he's
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: into transsexuals, he's into gay stuff. And, you know, from
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: what I can tell. He's probably into trannies and gay dudes. Now,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: he's probably gay.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: I haven't seen this much denial since John Travolta married
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Kelly Preston. John, do you take Kelly to be your wife?
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: I totally do. I mean, yeah, yes, absolutely. And I'm
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: gonna do stuff to her, too. Like, uh, touch her? Yeah,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: touch her. And, uh, kiss her? And touch her penis?
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, no, not that, not that.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: But back to Barassi. After his porn career, Barassi became
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: sort of a shadowy underground private investigator, a fixer of
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: sorts in Hollywood. The guy who celebrities hired when they
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: had a problem to take care of, and over the years,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: he's worked on behalf of stars like Schwarzenegger, Stallone, and
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Tom Cruise. The details of what exactly he did for
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: these stars celebrity clients, is a little murky, though. Again,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: I'll let you use your imagination on that one. Barassi
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: claims he would do things that ranged from investigative work
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: to intimidation. Here's a quote. Quote, These high-powered people came
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: to me to solve some of these problems, Barassi said.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: The legal way didn't work, so they had to resort
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: to desperate measures, measures that go against what's considered morally
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: correct or politically correct. And that's where I came in,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: end quote. When asked if he ever got violent, Barresi said, quote,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: you trying to get me arrested? I'm not going to
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: answer that question. The key is knowing how far you
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: can go without going too far, end quote. Barresi claimed
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: that after reading about the Eddie Murphy scandal, he was
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: actually the one who contacted Murphy's lawyer, Marty Mad Dog Singer,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: with a plan to save Eddie Murphy. Barresi would find
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: the trans sex workers who talked to the tabloids by
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: using his contacts in the porn world. Then, He would
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: persuade them to say that they were actually lying about
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: their relationship with Murphy, which would ruin the credibility of
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: the tabloid articles. Barresi said, quote, my role was pretty
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: much to neutralize the transsexuals, end quote. So they started
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: this whole entire scheme. The hunt for the trannies began.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Barresi first tracked down a transsexual ex-dominatrix named carnal Candy,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: who was considered a din mother, quote-unquote, for transsexual prostitutes.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Candy had been heavily quoted in the tabloid stories about Murphy.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Her friends had been telling her for years about Eddie
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Murphy's fetish for transsexuals, and she'd heard so many stories
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: that she was writing a whole ass entire book titled quote,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: in the closet with Eddie Murphy, end quote. Bariesi claimed
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: he offered Colonel Candy $ 115, 000 to give a sworn statement
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: that the stories she, he, it told the tabloids about
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Murphy were all lies, and an IRS document she provided
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: confirmed she had been paid $ 115, 000. by Eddie Murphy's law firm.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: She openly confessed that she had changed her story simply
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: for the money. We were telling lies because they were
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: giving me $ 115, 000, she said. Quote, I never had that
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: much money together at one time. End quote. Barry Essie
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: found two more transsexuals who talked to the tabloids. They, too,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: were paid to say they'd lied about their relationships with Murphy,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: even though they both later admitted they'd only retracted their
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: stories because they were paid off. Quote, I needed the money,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: one said. When someone gives you $ 2, 500 to say you
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: don't know someone, you just think about the money, end quote.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Barry S.C., freely admitted that he was paying the prostitutes
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: to change their stories about Murphy. Sure, it was a payoff,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: he said, quote-unquote, and get this shit. Barresi also knew
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: of an Eddie Murphy lookalike whose resemblance to Murphy was
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: so striking that he made a living off of getting
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: free meals, concert tickets, hotel rooms, by impersonating Eddie Murphy.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: So what does he do? At Baresi's urging, many of
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: the transsexuals swore that it was the Murphy imposter they'd
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: been getting freaked nasty with, and not Eddie Murphy himself.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Very clever, but no cigar. Quote, they paid us to
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: say it was an Eddie Murphy imposter, a trans sex
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: worker named Valerie Gale said. Quote, I dated the man
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: three different times and I don't date imposters, honey. First
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: time he came up in a cream colored rolls. He
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: came up to our apartment and we got busy. It
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: was definitely Eddie Murphy, end quote.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: But.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Throughout all the payoffs and sworn statements and changing stories,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: there was one who absolutely refused the cash. The first
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: tranny we met in this story, Addison Sciulli. This transsexual
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: who Murphy picked up had turned into somewhat of a
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: minor celebrity. and was prominently featured in the tabloid articles.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: She was offered $ 10, 000 by Barresi to stop speaking about Murphy,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: but dude turned it down time and time again, and his, her,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: its story does not have a happy ending, folks. A
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: year after Addison's fling with Eddie Murphy, Addison C. Uly's
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: dead body was found on the pavement outside of its
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: apartment building. Now, here's the official story.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: Oh. My.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: God. It's awful and I cannot believe. Well, you know,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: I say that, but I can believe. Here it is.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Sheesh!
