Terry Richardson: "I Am A Pervert..."
March 31,2011
Jenna Sauers for Jezebel:
A freelance model is alleging that Terry Richardson asked her for sexual favors in exchange for taking her picture. Though she has taken down her post about the alleged incident, we have a copy of the full chat conversation that Felice Fawn says took place between her and the renowned fashion photographer...
Jezebel has the full conversation for you.
Today I also read an article titled Sexual Intimidation. The opening paragraph goes like this:
A 13 year old model signed with a very prestigious international agency, head office based in New York, fell pregnant to a photographer in 2009, now 14 she is one of the agencies biggest hits! Common knowledge NEVER!
The agency closed ranks and kept it all very hush hush, as do many photographers, models, agents, designers, make up artists and stylists in a bid to cover their indiscretion. Reputations, careers and making money obviously in many cases, overrides professional standards.
The article continues a paragraph later:
A name that springs to everyone's mind when discussing this topic is Terry Richardson, the very famous, or should we perhaps say infamous photographer. Young women felt pressure, first to take off their clothes, then to perform sexual favors for someone who had control over their careers. How is that not sexual harassment?
We'll leave it there. The article, written by Tina Muddle, is in the debut issue of idoll magazine, now on newsstands.
Of course there are the good, the bad and the ugly in every profession as I do state in the article. I interviewed several models, photographers and designers all were VERY professional. Yes, several models had been approached to exchange sexual favours for sought after jobs. ALL refused, confiding to me that they would give up modelling rather than go down that road, finding the idea abhorrent!! Unfortunately, the fresh new faces desperately trying to make it in the industry are the prey in most cases...parental supervision is a MUST for minors!
What about all the gays in the industry that only do for there " gay Friends"
Terry problem had to suck some dick (Tom Ford) to get where he is.
Now he want return on his investment.
Let say that you are right and he did suck Tom's dick to get where he is,why can't he keep sucking old men dicks instead of asking Teenagers for sexual favors like the pervert that he is?
