Terry Richardson banned from working with Vogue and other leading mags

Seemingly suggesting the Harvey Weinstein and Amazon Studios chief Roy Price allegations (13th Oct. 2017) have prompted action where it had not been took before rather than just the “should’ve done” some have ashamedly offered:

Condé Nast International—which publishes Vogue, GQ, and Glamour and more—saying it would no longer work with him, with immediate effect, and major fashion brands Valentino and Bulgari announced they will no longer work with him too shortly after, with others likely to follow; interestingly Condé Nast US, a separate entity, had already severed ties with Richardson some years ago with him not shooting for American Vogue since 2010 (theguardian.com).

Cheeky chappie Terry of course well known for his glasses and often sexually explicit shoots with fashion, pop, and actings female finest, but has long been dogged by allegations of exploitation and abuse, which he has always denied, but which the overt parody porn often featuring his in his own mighty “Uncle” Terry Tallywhacker stuck in orifice of whichever famous or semi-famous consort in his Terryworld and Kibosh books, coined expressions such as “tampon tea” (jezebel.com, Mar. 2010), and the long list of the famous that refuse to work with him again leave those aiming to defend grasping to say the least.

Regardless of believing allegations unfounded, if she was not at least informed of them then there may be a question or two for her manager with regards his research if:

With a representative for Richardson again addressing the backlash stating that “He is an artist who has been known for his sexually explicit work”.

But repeated exposure of “Uncle” Terry’s Tallywhacker seems to suggest he may feel the whole world is his “explicit” studio—perhaps leaving you wondering whether he made it wear his spectacles too as is that signature of his—and gives tabloids opportunity in the wake of the Weinstein scandal to again scowl “disssgusting” at how industry figures have turned a blind eye, before finding some more pap captured TOWIE nip slip copy:
