He is a photographer with bad taste and the only world that suffers from his fate is this industry. Otherwise, he wouldn't have a job. Hope Richardson will one day discover the real world.

I am sure underage. I hope more girls come with their stories. I wonder how many editors are still protecting him. I cannot believe American Vogue uses his services??? Its outrageous that a man can ***** with young girls and not go to jail! This is the same guy who married Nikki Umberti model and when she was diagnosed with cancer he left her for the young and fresh Susan.. SICKO! How old was Susan Eldridge when he dated her?

Calling this man a pedophile based off hearsay and a few risky pictures of ADULT women is audacious and ill conceived. Since you are so convinced of his depravity, punkglamqueen, why don’t you produce evidence that supports that Terry Richardson is plagued by the psychological condition pedophilia." Your lack of reading comprehension astounds me. I never called him a pedophile in any of my responses. I never even mentioned his name in any of my responses. And yes you did undermine your statement by saying that the only convincing argument is that of the underage issue. Then you went on to vent with shock at the suggestion that underage girls being sexually abused in any manner is pedophilia. I suggest you re-read all my responses in this thread. I gave examples of what happens within the industry. I'm honestly baffled as to how you can ascertain what I've seen and read, and also how you know for certain ages of all the models that have posed nude. Especially since I never said I was basing my opinion on any of that. Keep those assumptions coming, it makes you look so smart! “I didn’t undermine anything genius.

This confirms that he is simply abusing his power and riding on the glib acceptance if the fashion world.

Be it as innocent as a pushy salesgirl forcing a woman to buy a really unflattering dress to something as serious as someone pushing a boy into sex he doesn't want to have. Sometimes "NO" just isn't enough and people give in to pressure. Especially when it keeps coming at you over and over and over again until you question everything....

Talk about blaming the victim. <br><br>Many of these teen models are very poor, from very poor countries and modeling is the only chance they've had thus far to make money for their family. You're going to criticize them for trying to make a living? They shouldn't have to deal with employers who will take advantage of them. If they say no to Richardson, they are marked as difficult and their agencies don't give them work.
