If you let me fuck you I'll book you for a photo shoot is the message this charmer sent to model Emma Appleton. What a prize cunt he is. Angry

He is so grim. There's a site somewhere for boycotting anything with his shoots.

SunshineBossaNova · 22/04/2014 19:39

He's not a cunt, he has neither the warmth or the depth.

He's a sleazy, rapey bastard. There have been stories circulating about him for years.

CaptChaos · 22/04/2014 20:21

What a vile bastard!

Not much of a surprise though, sadly.

Marsha could you post a link to whichever site that is, I'd gladly sign it. He's fucking disgusting.

Isn't he the "genius" behind some of the Miley Cyrus porn photoshoots?

He seems delightful. No, really.

MarshaBrady · 22/04/2014 21:46

DoctorTwo I saw it on a blog, just a post, not sure if there's is something to sign, or just a boycott here.

But even before the latest story I thought his photography was seedy and on the edge.

Velve · 22/04/2014 21:47

All his photo shoots are pretty much the same. Everyone knows he is an old pervy sleazebag, and yet celebrities seem to flock to be a part of his "oh, so edgy!" shoots.
Bleurgh!

Thanks Marsha. From that link, here is the No More Terry Tumblr blog which advocates boycotting anything he's involved with and telling them why.

Sooner or later they reveal themselves more publicly. It's hard to keep up the act of respectability when you are a vile arse with a huge sense of entitlement.

Although from the sounds of things TR is fairly open about his lack of respect/hatred for women anyway. He just messed once too often with the wrong woman. Well done Emma Appleton. That took courage.

Hope it makes a massive dent in his career. The cynical side of me suspects not!

CaptChaos · 23/04/2014 12:54

I suspect not too.

Look at Roman Polanski, raped a child and is still a media darling. People, famous people, influential people defending him all over the place. The difference between real, actual rape and something else raised on prime time TV in the US. I suspect that some utter arse treating a model as less than human really isn't going to register.

SunshineBossaNova · 23/04/2014 13:03

It's 'only' violence against women, isn't it? Famous men with shitty histories are lauded and praised, while their victims feel they have to apologise.

SunshineBossaNova · 23/04/2014 13:03

Actually, scrap 'famous' from my last sentence.

scallopsrgreat · 23/04/2014 13:06

The thing is as well its been like one of those open secrets with TR. Everyone knew just nobody vocalised it. Now they have are people's attitudes going to actually change? A bit of moral blustering perhaps by a few people/companies and then back to business as usual. Because they'd rather it be swept under the carpet than dealt with. That much has been evident over the last several years.

scallopsrgreat · 23/04/2014 13:07

Yes you are right Sunshine. Has anyone heard about the crime figures out today? Violence is down apparently. Except DV isn't. That's gone up. So what they are saying is violence against men has gone down.

Same spectrum as this. Deny. Deny. Deny.

GatoradeMeBitch · 25/04/2014 23:20

I read that the latest allegations were a hoax. Random link - www.refinery29.com/2014/04/66883/terry-richardson-scandal-hoax

TheDoctrineOfSnatch · 25/04/2014 23:48

"Appleton did, however, post a note on her Instagram account: "If the account is fake, then it needs to be removed. If it is real, then he is a hideous human." The problem is, Richardson's sordid reputation precedes him. Even if the message was a fake, it was easy enough for many people to believe it was real"

Well, quite.

Anybody watching the C4 report? My slut-shaming bingo card is almost full. Apparently, there are so many new feminists that we need to go out and invent witch hunts.

Terry Richardson.
ballsballsballs · 08/05/2014 19:43

The report is about other complaints about him, BTW, not the fake one.

ethelb · 08/05/2014 20:02

Just started another thread, but did anyone see that interview with that Vice journo on c4? Victim blaming to the extreme.

Luckily Caryn Franklin was brilliant in her rebuke!

ballsballsballs · 08/05/2014 20:03

The Vice guy was awful. I wanted to punch him.

Caryn Franklin was amazing. Calm, measured and authoritative.

ethelb · 08/05/2014 20:04

ballsballs ( I meet you on another thread) yes I saw it, he was foul.

ethelb · 08/05/2014 20:08

I'm quite impressed C4 invited her on. If they had invited a "profesisonal feminist" then maybe hey could have been slammed as feminazis etc

But Franklin is a part of the fashion industry and was so intelligent, clever and calm in her response it should have been impossible to argue with. But that Vice person was actually deranged.

You are right it was like victim blaming bingo.

Remember not to go out with the word slut anywhere on your person, it apparently is fair game to engage in non-consensual sex acts with you.

(How is it not a crime to incite gender hatered.....)

ballsballsballs · 08/05/2014 20:30

And you mustn't ever be in porn. Because that also makes it okay to engage in non-consensual sex acts.

Women, know your place.

ethelb · 08/05/2014 20:52

I think he insinuatd being any kind of sex worker made you fair game actually
