We've known forever that creepy photographer Terry Richardson was maximum creepy, with gross allegations galore about creeping on young models. These were vague mutterings until a couple days ago, when two different models came forward. Some of the allegations aren't of the "he made me feel sexualized" variety. They're pretty ick-inducing.
[Model Charlotte] Waters had experience nude modeling for well-known artists like Richard Kern and Ron English, but nothing prepared her for what went down at Richardson’s Soho studio in March of 2009. An hour after she arrived, Richardson had run his tongue up and down her bare ass, demanded she squeeze his balls, and even jacked off into her eye.
Yeah, that does not seem to be a necessary part of a photo shoot at all, dude.

Funny how none of the people making money off this seem to have a problem with all the shenanigans. Not to excuse Aqualung the photog one bit (he deserves multiple cunt punts for being such a slime ball) but where are the agency people? Where are the handlers and reps? A couple adults in the room with those poor models, someone to lend moral support and say "no Terry, that is not acceptable" would make 99% of this shit go away. Best not to upset the gravy train though...

Let he whom is without sin cast the first stone...
