Terry Richardson, a fashion photographer accused of sexually exploiting models, has been banned from working with top magazines such as Vogue and GQ, according to a report.
Richardson, 52, has been accused by multiple women of pressuring them into sex when they worked together, though he has still landed high-profile clients despite allegations three years ago that led to outlets such as American Vogue saying they did not plan to work with him again.
In the aftermath of worldwide sexual abuse allegations including rape against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, the ban on Richardson has now extended to properties across Condé Nast International, the Daily Telegraph reported Monday.
A message from executive vice president James Woolhouse to the company’s presidents in various countries reportedly said that Richardson should no longer be hired and that any work already ordered should be “killed or substituted with other material.”
Condé Nast International publishes editions of magazines such as Vogue, Vanity Fair, GQ and Glamour.
Richardson’s work appeared in the August 2017 edition of Vogue Paris, in a piece called “Hot Dogs,” as well on the cover of GQ Germany for a story on actor Alexander Skarsgard.
His ouster from a major publisher, a day after a Times of London article questioned why he was being “feted by fashionistas,” comes as models have spoken out about the harassment they face their industry, part of an outpouring of experiences in many fields after the Weinstein allegations.
Richardson has not yet publicly commented on the reported Condé Nast ban, but has denied any wrongdoing.
He wrote for HuffPo in 2014 that the allegations seemed to be an “emotionally-charged witch hunt” and claimed that his work has always been sexually-charged.
“I collaborated with consenting adult women who were fully aware of the nature of the work, and as is typical with any project, everyone signed releases. I have never used an offer of work or a threat of rebuke to coerce someone into something that they did not want to do,” he said.
And they all protected one another, I read years ago this guy was doing this stuff and now it’s suddenly “fashionable” to go after these guys, the left is so full of BS, suddenly they’re pillars of morality meanwhile they still treat Hillary like the Messiah of all humanity even though they know she’s been committing felonies for years. When is bringing her to justice going to be “fashionable”?
That sounds like word twisting worthy of a Clinton. I'm glad that his career has been slowed down; he sounds like scum. I hope more people who abuse their power are brought down when the allegations are true.
Terry is a sick, sick man. He loves the trannies.
No worries. He’ll have a job at the JC Penney photo studio before you know it.
Liberals turning and eating their own.
“banned from working with top magazines such as Vogue and GQ, according to a report”
in that case, there’s always “Dog Catchers Monthly”. I hear they need pics of some real dogs ...
Hmmm. Did he drug, threaten or assault them? Ask for dates? Not many facts here.
On the other hand women as well use sex and pester and sometimes threaten men for sex. They don’t much use physical intimidation, duh. But threats of job loss or false rape accusations are employed more often than is generally thought.
If the encounters were consensual, what makes him a predator? Women can’t have it both ways. If the guy offers and you say no and he keeps on, walk out and go home. Weinstein is being accused of rape, that is much different.
“now it’s suddenly “fashionable” to go after these guys, the left is so full of BS”
no doubt. but the timing really couldn’t be much better for our side,regardless of their motivations ...
I thought the first thing a photog and model did was to have sex to get the ‘tension’ out of the way. Can’t say this is shocking.
No
He’s a freak and mighty proud of his Johnson but if you google the x rated stuff it doesn’t look forced
#metoo
Buddy women including many here are indeed having it both ways
Women are proudly slutted up
Men are pussies
And the threshold of sexual assault etc is a very low bar
That is a much bigger danger for Western civilization than all this salacious boorish junk
