Celebrity photographer Terry Richardson 'is banned from working with major fashion magazines including Vogue' after sexual harassment claims resurface
Celebrity photographer Terry Richardson has been banned from working with several major fashion magazines amid resurfacing sexual harassment claims.
- Vogue, GQ and Vanity Fair among those told to 'kill' collaborations with snapper
- An email was circulated among staff by parent group Condé Nast International
- The American, aged 52, known for incorporating explicit themes into his shoots
- Has been subject of several allegations of sexually abusing models over career.
Vogue, GQ and Vanity Fair are among those who were told to 'kill' any scheduled shoots with the snapper by parent group Condé Nast International.
Richardson has been the subject of widespread allegations of sexually abusing models over his lengthy career -- accusations he has constantly denied.
The 52-year-old New Yorker is known for incorporating explicit themes into his shoots, and directed the sexually-charged music video to Wrecking Ball by Miley Cyrus - which she later said she regrets.
According to the Daily Telegraph, an email was circulated among staff of Condé Nast International after an article in a Sunday newspaper questioned the photographer's past.
The email, sent by the firm's executive vice president James Woolhouse, said future articles with Richardson should be 'killed or substituted with other material'.
He wrote: 'I am writing to you on an important matter. Condé Nast would like to no longer work with the photographer Terry Richardson.
'Please could you confirm that this policy will be actioned in your market effective immediately. Thank you for your support in this matter.'
Richardson's contract arrangements with Conde Nast had been in discussion for several months - but after an article was posted that questioned why he was still being 'feted by fashionistas' ties were officially cut.
