Richard Dreyfuss’ son, Ben Dreyfuss, has social media in a frenzy over his retelling of an alleged incident during the time his mom, Jeramie Rain, briefly dated Jack Nicholson.
“Want to hear a funny story about Jack Nicholson? I’m bored so I am going to tell you a funny story about Jack Nicholson,” he began the thread, which has since been viewed more than 1.8 million times since it was shared on Tuesday (Nov. 25). “My mom is dating Jack Nicholson in the early 80s and he starts getting all these letters and phone calls from a deranged fan.”
Despite not living with him, Dreyfuss said his mother was over at Nicholson's residence enough times to be aware of the situation. People around Nicholson also supposedly advised him not to engage with the fan.
Dreyfuss continued, “So one night my mom is over at his house and there is a knock knock at the door and there is some strange woman. Jack and my mom both quickly realize it is the crazy lady. She has come from Iowa or wherever to see him."
“She gets in the door and they’re in the living room while this nutjob is explaining her love for him or whatever and Jack Nicholson tells my mom subtly to go into the kitchen and call for help," he continued. "Call someone. Call the police. Call whoever. They need to get this woman out of here.”
After several minutes, Rain returned to the living room and found it empty. She walked through the house calling out Nicholson’s name in confusion.
“Eventually she goes upstairs and she opens the bedroom door and finds the woman on her knees giving Jack Nicholson a blowjob,” Dreyfuss continued. “And my mom is like ‘what the fuck!’ And starts screaming at the lady, who spits Jack Nicholson’s dick out of her mouth and is hurried out the door. My mom pushes out into the driveway. And Jack Nicholson is putting his pants back on trailing behind her.”
Dreyfuss said his mom confronted the actor in the driveway, yelling, "What is wrong with you? What the fuck is wrong with you? She's a stalker! And also, I'm your girlfriend! I was calling for help!"
Nicholson allegedly answered, "Look, I mean, she offered me a blow job. I wasn't going to say no."
Rain supposedly ended the relationship following the events.
Dreyfuss added that although people find the alleged story hilarious, his mother is a dog sitter “who isn’t fabulously wealthy,” and that this is not even one of her better tales.
Dreyfuss also wrote that, as a child, he doubted some of the stories his mother told him about life “as a beautiful woman in L.A. in the 70s and 80s,” but after his parents divorced, his actor father allegedly admitted, "Unfortunately, her stories are true."
“Like he recognized that he lost the story game to my mom and he’s a movie star who isn’t supposed to lose that game!" Ben Dreyfuss concluded. "But my mom just has amazing stories."
