Last summer, Jezebel reported that Playboy was preparing to release a special edition of the magazine shot entirely photographer Terry Richardson in February, timed roughly to Valentine's Day. That issue is available for purchase now.
Oh dear, Martha.

Despite all the controversy, Terry Richardson continues to work. His latest gig? A splashy Autumn/Winter 2014 campaign for Japanese brand Evisu, the makers of $300 jeans.

Instead of accepting her VMA for Video of the Year for the Terry Richardson-directed "Wrecking Ball," Miley Cyrus had a young man named Jesse accept the award for her on behalf of "the 1.6 million runaways and homeless youth in the United States who are starving, lost and scared for their lives right now."

While some commercial and editorial clients are distancing themselves from Terry Richardson, others are celebrating their relationship with the photographer-slash-sexual harasser. Playboy magazine plans to release a 100-page special issue shot by their "great partner" Richardson called California Dreamin' in February…
Terry Richardson shot Mariah Carey for Wonderland magazine's summer issue and, according to the unretouched images obtained exclusively by Jezebel, it would seem that Uncle Terry's point-and-shoot-built-in-flash style isn't flattering enough for publication.

Terry Richardson has shot nine ad campaigns for Aldo Shoes since 2010; the Canadian company with a worldwide chain of shoe and accessory stores is one of his biggest clients. Or: Was one of his biggest clients.
This morning we received an email from someone claiming to be Christopher Judges, a figure from famous fashion photographer/perv Terry Richardson's youth. He would like to tell you a little bit their history and the man Uncle Terry has become.
Are Dov Charney and Terry Richardson the same person? Almost! Former American Apparel CEO Charney and fashion photographer Richardson have a lot in common. A LOT.

When I first read Benjamin Wallace's profile of Terry Richardson for New York magazine — which examines the photographer's behavior and wonders whether he's an artist or a predator, when the answer is quite obviously that he's both — it seemed fairly obvious to me that Richardson's extensive history of bad behavior…
When I was 12 years old, my mother hit pause on the VCR player, stopping the movie we were watching. I’m pretty sure it was starring Ashley Judd, and it could have been A Time to Kill, but all I remember is that whatever it was involved rape. She told me, with tears in her eyes, that when she was 23 years old, she was…
"Is Terry Richardson an Artist or a Predator?" wonders New York Magazine. Phrasing the proposition in that way — as an either-or binary — is not only insultingly reductive, it's also wildly misleading: as though it's possible that the end product justifies the sexual coercion that created it, or that a respected…
