Terry Richardson’s Work is Degrading to Women

So she gave birth to boys... Rex & Roman, shall the choice of names discussion begin?

^^^ I get the impression that even if he had teen daughters who are models, he wouldn't change his ways.

He could even be a loving, protective, compassionate father to his daughters and ready to do boss battle with whomever offended his daughters, and still be the kind of predator he’s being accused of. Many people are just like that.

There's a difference between being cheerful and being pleasant, thanks. Also, no, the modeling industry is not at all like other professions. Glad you caught on.

I've seen multiple sites where people are hoping the kids are girls. I just wanted to say that we should be careful with that and not wish upon these babies anything bad. Their father, by many accounts is an a-hole, but they are innocent and I hope no one prey upon them as payback or to teach their father a lesson. I also hope their birth mellows Terry...

Absolutely ... I just want the kids to be all right. No one deserves effed-up parents, but when effed-up people insist on having kids, guess what happens ...

Lol. And I just read the title of this thread and thought to myself, "we know"

Inside the twisted, sexed-up childhood of Terry Richardson

By Michael Gross

June 25, 2016 | 11:52am

There are few more-controversial figures in fashion than Terry Richardson — a photographer as associated with the words “high fashion” as he is with “predator” and “pervert.” First given a camera by his mother, actress Norma Kessler, in 1982, Richardson, now 50, has shot often-hypersexualized advertising campaigns for Marc Jacobs, Tom Ford and Yves Saint Laurent, among others. But, since 2010, several models have stepped forward to accuse him of inappropriate sexual behavior, coercion and sexual assault.

As this excerpt from the new book by Michael Gross — “Focus: The Secret, Sexy, Sometimes Sordid World of Fashion Photographers” — suggests, perhaps Terry’s no-boundaries behavior shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, given his tumultuous childhood and the influence of his wildman dad, Bob Richardson, a successful fashion photographer in the 1960s and early ’70s.

I was going to post the full article, but it's too graphic. The effects of environment on behavioural disorders clearly applies to Terry very, very much!!

Well, schizophrenia has hereditary causes, I'm not saying Terry has it exactly, just putting it out there. As for the rest, I'm not sure if he's learned how not be a father or will just take after his parents.

That article almost makes me feel sorry for Terry - although he's a grown man who can afford therapy and has received enough feedback about his own behaviour. But it certainly makes me feel sorry for the way that abuse and a lack of healthy boundaries has such a ripple effect, continuing to affect and damage others, long after the source has disappeared. The damage comes down the generations AND across and through the negative relationships people create with others, whether career-related or romantic.
