The Follow Up: Terry Richardson
Richardson's predatory scandal could hinder his famed career!

After industry insiders came forth with a what's-the-big-deal? stance towards the predatory allegations towards Terry Richardson from some of his subjects, Jezebel invited more alleged victims to write in anonymously of their encounters with Richardson.

It's said that they received a ton of emails, which made us a bit skeptical at first - until we searched and found a picture of Richardson receiving oral sex from an unidentified subject. Plenty of insiders wrote in anonymously in fear of losing their jobs. Though many of the stories are too graphic to post, we think outlining the problem is sufficient.

One insider noted that it's a difficult situation to disentangle, considering Richardson's approval from some of the industry's foremost leaders (think Anna Wintour, Carine Roitfeld, etc.). The insider continues, saying:

"Those people in power, the women, need to take their responsibility for what happens to the girls because by booking him, they are tacitly giving their approval that whatever he does is OK."

Another insider noted that she quit her job as a stylist after she witnessed Richardson sexually harrass foreign nude girls who didn't speak English.

What makes the situation more disturbing is the approach Richardson takes once girls begin to question his behavior on set; he insists on being called "Uncle Terry" and assures them that in no way is he shooting for porn - for he's shooting stills - then asks the girls to shoot him nude playing with himself. Strangely, Richardson continues to have a support team on set in the form of dedicated assistants, who incessantly advise girls that what he is doing is tasteful and frankly normal, because he works with celebrities all the time.

A credible source noted the break in the relationship between Richardson and W Magazine (although with the publication in such a frenzy, we doubt commenting on Richardson is at the top of their list), observing that Richardson has not shot for the magazine for quite some time. Whether it has to do with his behavior toward subhects or a highly disliked spread he shot for the magazine (a model's head in the oven), no one knows.

Do you think allegations will hinder or advance Richardson's career?
