I’ve hated this cunt since the first time I laid eyes on him. I didn’t have to hear a model’s confession about his behavior<\/a> to know how unsavory a creature he is. He adopts the look of a shady pervert and clearly revels in it. Think how funny it must seem to him! “I look like a disgusting scumbag, AND THE JOKE IS THAT I AM ONE!” Haha, Terry, we get it.<\/p>\n

Every time I’ve seen his name on a fashion layout that crosses the line into soft porn, I’ve felt vaguely soiled. Now it’s good to know that he’s widely hated.<\/p>\n

On his website, he has posted a terse little note of self-pity. His feelings are hurt, he says. Elsewhere<\/a> on the world wide web you can find some commentary that goes like this: Big deal, everyone knows that Terry likes to get it on with models. That’s business as usual.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What?!? This fucker is a blight on the civilized world. I don’t want to hear one more word about his huge penis or how often he waves it around. I’m sorry that he has defenders, because some things are indefensible. He uses his power to molest and humiliate models who believe this is the price they must pay to get work. No one is there to protect them or back them up. Not Vogue, Rolling Stone, GQ, not the agencies, nobody.<\/p>\n

I know I’m probably preaching to the choir here. But if you really hate this cunt and you want to make a difference, why not send an email to the CEO<\/strong> of Conde Nast Publications Inc? Here’s what I wrote to charles_townsend@condenast.com<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Dear Mr. Townsend,<\/em><\/p>\n

As a longtime reader of Vogue and W, \u00a0 I am disturbed by the unprofessional and in some cases criminal behavior of the photographer Terry Richardson. I urge you to stop publishing the work of this sexually predatory individual at once. Fashion should not be tainted by the abuse of models, and consumers don’t want to be a part of such practices. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this matter.

Yours truly,<\/em><\/p>\n

Sister Wolf<\/em><\/p>\n
