I really hope you came with the crumpets because New York Magazine‘s about to give us the tea on Terry Richardson‘s sexual assault allegations. A source tells Jezebel that the next issue of the title will include a one-on-one with the photographer by Ben Wallace-Wells, in which he’ll address the claims of sexual assault that have been plaguing him for the latter part of his career. And according to the tipster, the piece pretty much clears Richardson of all guilt. “He has convinced the editors that he is innocent. The girls have no idea that they are going to be the losers.”
Now, this could simply be the opinion of Jezebel’s source. Several women have come forward over the last four years with tales of how Richardson went too far. While one accusation is enough to raise a few eyebrows, the fact is that there have been more than several accounts not only from victims, but also from staff members on various shoots. Richardson still denies any misconduct, but his explanations for some of his more questionable behavior is always met with a firm “they were consenting adults”-style response.
I guess we’ll just have to see what Uncle Terry has to say for himself.
