I gotta admit, years ago I thought that maybe (just maybe) there was a bit of possible (penis) envy involved when it came to Terry Richardson. Here was a middle aged four eyes with a plaid shirt, one major sleaze bomb of a pervert looking guy shooting, partying and scoring beautiful 20yr old models galore. Hey, he's doing it- you're not! Get over it, and cut the guy some slack for livin' the dream...
But over the years, the Lance Armstrong factor came into play big time, and just kept building... There are some guys where the sleaze factor finally reaches critical mass
because they've been getting away with it for so damn long, they really
don't give a flyin' anymore. They think themselves invulnerable.
Then along comes this claim (amongst countless others)... And to all those who say she could have simply said, "NO." Yes, very
true- someone with a little more gumption would have simply bit his dick
off and told him to, "Photograph this!" Or simply walked out... But there are others who when put in high pressure, threatening
(yes, shoving your dick in someone's face is threatening) situations
simply comply to get it over with, particularly when they're in the
perpetrator's home court, surrounded by his collaborators. Aggressors
know when they have someone compliant in hand, usually because they've
done it so many times before. And he's damn well smart enough not to try
it with someone on an equal power level. That's how he gets away with it, time and time again.
By now, everyone should be aware that even innocent people can be made to confess to the crime at hand
(even murder raps) when aggressively interrogated- just to get the
ordeal over with...

Funny. I have a friend who has worked with three gals who worked with Terry. None of them had anything bad to say about him. Quite the contrary actually.
No doubt- ya can't be a prick 24/7 and keep a successful studio going that long, and ya can't walk around with a hard on all the time... not even in NY.
Quite frankly I don't believe what this gal is asserting. I think it's a deep pockets grab, but hey what the hell do I know. While I tend to side with the under dog most of the time, not all under dogs are legit. I'm sure Terry can get his weird-on pretty good, but for the most part I feel he is doing it with consenting adults. If anyone tried this with one of my daughters when they were 19 they would have cut his dick off, then stormed out. I believe the gal in the story was a willing participant that had second thoughts after the fact. Just my opinion, which we both know isn't worth the bits it takes up on the internet.
Eric- You could very well be right about her, as many have asserted. And there was no crime committed in the eyes of the law even if every bit is true. The thing is, there are dozens of models out there that have been making such allegations for well over a decade.
My opinion is no more informed than yours, and rumor and hearsay should not condemn any person's reputation. But when allegations have been this thick and heavy from so many unrelated people for so long a period- you'd think he'd be happy to have some sort of official investigation just to clear his name.
