Photographer Terry Richardson Banned By Condé Nast Writes Daily Telegraph London

The first thought that went through my mind in the Harvey Weinstein case was wondering if celebrity photographer Terry Richardson would get his just desserts. Richardson has proudly been the fashion industry's photographer playboy with strong suggestions that a quick fling with Richardson's ample c#ck was the price for a photoshoot with "Uncle Terry". 

AOC is unaware of any new allegations against Richardson in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal -- and so many more that we've lost count now. But The Telegraph in London dropped the story that an email they've seen was circulated on Monday at the media group Condé Nast International.  According to The Daily Telegraph, the company will no longer work with Terry Richardson. 

The message was sent by James Woolhouse, the company’s executive vice president and chief operating officer, to “country presidents” at the firm at 8.14am on Monday. Condé Nast International publishes Vogue, Glamour, Vanity Fair, and GQ, among other well-known titles.

Mr Woolhouse wrote: “I am writing to you on an important matter. Condé Nast would like to no longer work with the photographer Terry Richardson.

“Any shoots that have been commission[ed] or any shoots that have been completed but not yet published, should be killed and substituted with other material.

“Please could you confirm that this policy will be actioned in your market effective immediately. Thank you for your support in this matter.”

In her Porter Magazine interview, Bella speaks about her faith, her sexuality and her love life. Earlier this year both Bella and her sister Gigi protested in New York at the #NoBanNoWall protests in New York, and she told Porter: "My dad was a refugee when he first came to America, so it’s actually very close to home for my sister and brother and me. He was always religious, and he always prayed with us. I am proud to be a Muslim.”

With a Dutch mother, Bella's comfort level with her body and nudity follow the country's norms. “My mom is very European, so our whole life we were very open about that stuff. It was just more casual.”

One can't help wondering if the seemingly sensible Bella would have fallen down the same rabbit hole as her buddy Kendall Jenner did in making the now pulled Pepsi commercial. The big Supermodels -- rather than the newly-crowned social media ones -- were known for sharing an opinion about almost everything. One wonders if they would have gone sheepishly into the night of the Pepsi mess. I think not. Even if it was a quiet "Are you sure you really want to do this?" I think Naomi and Christy and Linda would have spoken their minds. None of these girls can just say "I don't like the script. I'm outta here." After all, a contract was signed, and I doubt it gives the girls that kind of leverage. But the Supers would have raised their eyebrows big-time over the insipid, totally tone-deaf commercial that Jenner produced for Pepsi. Why does she only feel anguish now? Was she as tone-deaf as the folks at Pepsi?

Terry Richardson Embraces Pussy Riot As Many Supporters Of Feminism Vomit

Lady Gaga remains Richardson’s buddy and Pharrell Williams complimented Richardson at the recent CFDAs. That’s their right, but it doesn’t change the opinions of large numbers of fashion followers and insiders who find it particularly agregious that Terry Richardson would photograph such principled actors in the human rights drama as members of Pussy Riot and think he would get a pass. Not that he cares. Terry gets some free publicity and that’s all that matters. ~ Anne

Terry Richardson Double Dares Valentino Lovers To “Take Me Out”

I’m curious what it is about these super-simple, ordinary, Terry Richardson tattoed arms that is so important to the folks at Valentino. Richardson continues with another 2015 Resort Valentino Accessories campaign that screams ‘We love Terry’ — as only Richardson’s egomaniac campaigns can bellow. “I’m the guy with the swingin’ big dick, and don’t you forget it,” Richardson informs us in his campaigns. 

Dear readers …  ahem … we know that Richardson has a big swingin’ dick because … well, because he’s photographed it for us. This is not creative license or an exaggerated metaphor on my part.

My long-held issues with Terry Richardson’s photography focus on talent, not his top-of-the-heap, badboy reputation in the fashion industry. And yes, I agree that Richardson was set up on an April 2014 Facebook message to UK model Emma Appleton.

Maybe Terry Richardson is really a great guy; I don’t know him personally. I love his sidekick Tom Ford to death, so don’t call me a prude. And anyone who spends 15 minutes on Anne of Carversville knows I’m not against a free expression of sexy in advertising or in bed.

This week Terry Richardson is drawn into the Bill Cosby controversy — and there is no way that Bill Cosby will dig himself out of this mess. His bag man has receipts from 40 years ago.
