Another day, another sexual allegation against Terry Richardson. The latest comes from model Emma Appleton, who tweeted the above screenshot of a message she says was sent by the four-eyed photographer, who offered her a spot in Vogue in exchange for sex. Um. Ew. Two thumbs down.
Appleton’s Twitter account has since been deactivated or deleted, but she left a parting message with a tweet that read:
Beginning to wish I hadn’t posted that…it doesn’t matter who you are or the what the industry is, just be a decent human being.
Buzzfeed reached out to Richardson’s camp for comment, and of course, they’re dismissing the allegation:
“This is obviously a fake,” said Candice Marks, a spokesperson for the photographer. “Terry did not send this text.”
Hildy Kuryk, the director of communications for Vogue, also responded, saying “the last assignment Terry Richardson had for US Vogue appeared in the July 2010 issue, and we have no plans to work with him in the future.”
Despite being involved in a sludge of sexual assault allegations from models he’s shot in the past, it seems as if the industry has continued to turn a blind eye to the claims. Maybe this will finally be the nail in his creepy coffin.
