From Morrissey to Miley Cyrus: All the people who regret working with Terry Richardson - The Telegraph
By Alice Vincent.
Intro:
"After being dogged by allegations of sexual assault for years, photographer Terry Richardson was dropped by Condé Nast publications, the publishing house that includes Vogue and Harper's Bazaar, on Monday. For many in the fashion industry, it's a move that couldn't have come soon enough.
But high-profile stars who have been shot by Richardson, who is known for his sexually explicit photographs, have previously spoken about their experiences of working with him. Here are the ones who regret their collaboration:"
Excerpt:
"It may have been the burgers that tipped Morrissey over the edge, but the fallout between the miserabilist, skate brand Supreme and Terry Richardson suggested that the former Smiths frontman never liked the portrait taken of him anyway.
Richardson was commissioned by Supreme to take photographs of Morrissey wearing a Supreme T-shirt for the brand in October 2015. But in February 2016, Morrissey posted on fan blog True To You apologising for the "enfeebled photograph issued this week by Supreme". The renowned vegetarian added that even before he learned that Supreme were "sponsored in part by the beef-sandwich pharaoh known as White Castle", he didn't want the image being used.
Morrissey wrote: "I considered the photograph to be fit only for a medical encyclopedia and I pleaded with Supreme not to use it."
In response, Supreme, who posted the image on billboards globally, said that the singer had been offered to return his fee, choose another image from Richardson's shoot that he did like or be shot again at Supreme's expense. He refused all three offers."
