>> Last week, Marc Jacobs spoke out in support of Terry Richardson after allegations of sexual harassment came to light. And just days after the news came out, it appeared that Richardson was collaborating on a shoot with Carine Roitfeld for Vogue Paris, based on pictures posted on his blog of Roitfeld, Lara Stone, and Freja Beha Erichsen.
Over the past weekend, Doutzen Kroes Tweeted "Goodmorning Miami, working for Vogue today!" and posted a picture with the caption reading. "My hair is a little messy from being on the beach shooting for American Vogue." It appears that Richardson was the photographer on the shoot — he posted a picture taken over the weekend of Doutzen on the beach, with a caption reading, "Shooting Doutzen in Miami."
A number of anonymous fashion insiders polled by Fashionista said they didn't expect the allegations to have any lasting effects on Richardson's career, and judging by Marc Jacobs's, Vogue's, and Vogue Paris's continued support, they seem to be correct.

i think all this is so exaggerated, feel a bit bad for terry
This pervert will get his one day. Maybe not now, but it will come. Karma.
How horrid. Can't they see that the way he treats young unknown girls is completely different? He's not even good enough to ignore it.
"Miriam" you give women a bad name. I hope you don't have a young daughter who is victimized one day. That is if you are really a woman.
I feel so frustrated by Richardson's apologists, including Marc Jacobs. The issue is not that he takes nude photographs of young people, the problem is that he crosses the line with them sexually. These girls aren't "collaborators," as he has called them, and they are not peers. They are employees, and they deserve a safe workplace. Why should the fashion industry be different from any other in that respect?
Marc Jacobs says that it's up to parents and guardians to protect underage girls--implying that it's not up to Terry Richardson to behave ethically himself. However, if underage people are present, every frigging adult in a position of authority at these photo shoots is responsible for their safety. At any rate, the discussion of underage models is a bit of a red-herring. People of any age can be coerced into sexual situations if they are vulnerable enough.

I agree completely. Honestly though I wouldn't expect
Marc "married to a Rent boy" Jacobs to have even an ounce of ethics.
His dismissal is in-line with his lack of class. He and Terry and their apologists are proof-positive that all the money and exposure in the world can't buy class or decency.
its so easy to say that a photographer has forecd you to do something...its so easy!..
Look at the guy he looks like a pervert RIGHT? NOT!!! Richardson is very open aboiut his art. No one who uses his services can say they did not know what to expect!
I don't think you could call what he does art. It's just soft porn basically. Even in terms of fashion, it's fairly bad. Take a look at slides 5 and 11 here and tell me if you think this is "art". I'm not shopping in Sisley again, that's for sure.

"No one who uses his services can say they did not know what to expect!" - Clearly the young model who was asked to give "Uncle Terry" a hand job AFTER she signed the release form didn't know what to expect. As Terry says, it all happens organically and it evolves as the shoot goes on...for him maybe. Might be useful if he told his employees before they sign their forms that he's expecting a blow job.
