Sour brother Jimmy Flynt confirmed to Washington Post the death, initially announced by TMZ. According to this celebrity site, Larry Flynt died of cardiac arrest.
Flynt launched in 1974 his pornographic magazine Hustler, competitor de Playboy which he considered “old-fashioned”, with very explicit photos and a deliberately scandalous tone. He then developed his empire with other publications, studios specializing in porn movies and then websites. In 2000, the businessman even opened a casino Hustler in the suburbs of Los Angeles, where he had lived for a long time.
In October 2017, the old man with a lift, nailed to a gold-plated wheelchair since an assassination attempt in 1978, had allowed himself a last stroke of brilliance by offering, on a full page in the Washington Post, $ 10 million to which would provide him with any information leading to the impeachment of Donald Trump.
It was his “patriotic duty”, said this accustomed to polemics and trials, who had built his reputation and his fortune on provocation.
The man was used to the method: to support President Clinton entangled in the Lewinsky affair in 1998, he had obtained the heads of several elected officials compromised in sex scandals revealed in his magazine.
