Andy Warhol Was Packin' & Had Sex, In Case You Were Wondering
"Queen of the Night" Dianne Brill is spilling some tea on her friendship with the iconic artist.
Just in case you were curious, yes, Andy Warhol was very well endowed.
In the premiere episode of his brand new podcast Night Fever, which chronicles and explores the untold stories of the nightlife scene in New York City back in the '70s, '80s, and '90s, host and Club Kid James St. James (and his cohosts Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato) chat with author and nightlife legend Dianne Brill about what life was like for an '80s-era Club Kid and being dubbed the "Queen of the Night" by art icon Andy Warhol himself.
The topics of discussion in the inaugural Night Fever podcast include the attitudes about sexuality during the time, her favorite looks, what some of her favorite parties were, and even some of Brill's friendships with some iconic figures in pop culture history, the likes of which include her relationships with Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, and of course, Andy Warhol.

"I have to ask you, though, what was Andy Warhol really like?" Bailey asks Brill, getting down to the nitty-gritty of things and inquiring about the actual man behind the now mythical and enigmatic art figure most of the world now sees him as. "I've got to get your take on Andy Warhol."
"Well, he did have a big penis and he did have sex," Brill replied, making a bombshell revelation that not even we saw coming. "I just want you to know that. I want to say that because no one ever says that and I think everyone should really know that. I think it's something wonderful."
A master of many mediums and styles, Warhol is best known for being a leading figure in the pop art movement. Living openly and unapologetically gay during a time where it wasn't as socially accepted, Warhol was also fond of the nightlife scene in the '70s and '80s, frequenting iconic spots like Studio 54 often. Though he gave an interview in the early '80s claiming to be a virgin, Warhol did have multiple lovers over the years (and now, friends like Brill) who contradicted that statement saying he had an active sex life and was a wonderful partner to be with.
