LARRY FLYNT'HUSTLER' FOUNDER DEAD AT 78
TMZ ^ | 2-10-21 | TMZ

Posted on 02/10/2021 3:09:56 PM PST by dynachrome

Family sources tell us the mogul passed Wednesday morning in Los Angeles from heart failure.

For nearly 50 years, Flynt's been one of the biggest names in the adult entertainment industry. He launched "Hustler" magazine in 1974, which brought him fame and fortune as it skyrocketed in popularity ... and also brought countless legal issues.

Many of these First Amendment battles were chronicled in the Oscar-nominated 1996 film, "The People vs. Larry Flynt," starring Woody Harrelson.

Getty Flynt's magazine and notoriety also led to him being shot in 1978 in a murder attempt by serial killer Joseph Paul Franklin. The shooting left Larry paralyzed from the waist down and confined to a wheelchair, and he suffered from constant pain and other medical issues as a result.

Along with being the name behind the Hustler brand, Flynt's the president of Larry Flynt Publications ... which produces other magazines like "Barely Legal," pornographic videos and Hustler TV.

He also opened the famous Hustler Casino near L.A. in 2000.

He always struck me as a deeply hateful and unhappy person.

Dirty, too.

I suppose Hugh Hefner was no different, but he didn’t seem to take himself too seriously and wasn’t full of hate.

Heart failure. Probably OD’ed on a drug that diverted all his blood elsewhere.

Hollywood and other superficial people believe that the highest manifestation of “freedom of speech” means the right to be incredibly vulgar.

More than anyone, Larry Flynt contributed to that idea.

“...and wasn’t full of hate...”

Hef didn’t lose half his spine and who knows what else to a 44 magnum either.

Larry Flynt: My friend, Jerry Falwell, is Flynt's letter eulogizing Jerry Falwell. They disagreed on everything and still became friends.

Remember several decades back when Flynt claimed to have become a Christian and wanted to go on the Jim Baker show?

I distrusted Baker first time I saw him, but am glad he had enough sense NOT to let Flynt on his show.

Flynt then began printing the most vile anti-Christian cartoons in his magazine.
