I came across the name Terry Richardson as a sleazebag photographer…and decided to look him up to see what the fuss was about. What I found was sickening, to say the least.
Warning, the links here and here are graphic, so if that bothers you, don’t click. Briefly, this photographer has done some creepy acts, including alleged rape, by the models he was supposed to be shooting. And the alleged abuse is known to the industry….so why are they allowing it…? Because they use sex to sell the products…?
As someone whom has been sexually harassed and abused, I take this very personally. I know his type of predator and how they operate….so it’s not hard to believe he did these actions because the predators always work in the same way–gain trust, manipulate, use power over, and then abuse them while accusing them of “wanting it.”
Excuse me, I need to go throw up…
