After the information about harassment against various famous actresses of producer Harvey Weinstein appeared in the press, Hollywood does not stop from exposing sexual assaults of other equally famous men. A few days ago, everyone was discussing the charges brought forward by Roman Polanski and James Tobacco, and today the name of another celebrity - Terry Richardson, a popular New York photographer - was sounded.
James Woolhouse banned magazines from working with Richardson
Yesterday, a letter appeared in the media written by James Woolhaus, vice-president of the publishing house Condé Nast, in which he insisted that all publications belonging to the holding company terminate their cooperation with 52-year-old Richardson. Here are the lines that contained the letter:
"Against the background of talk of various sexual harassment by influential men, I'm forced to say that we will no longer cooperate with a photographer named Terry Richardson. Despite the fact that I have no complaints about his work, further cooperation with him can negatively affect the reputation of our magazines. A big request to bring to all specialists who work with Richardson, that no more pictures of this author will appear on the pages of the magazines. In addition, all photos taken by Terry, but not yet published, are subject to destruction. I very much hope that my order will be executed and there will be no misunderstandings among employees of our holding company with Richardson. "
How will the publishing house Condé Nast solve the problem of the violation of the contract with Terry Richardson - is still unknown, but once the order came from the vice president of the holding company about the termination of cooperation, then the question of the cancellation of publications of photos Richardson has already been resolved. As for the photographer himself, so far no comments on this issue in the press have been reported.

His photo sessions were characterized by excessive sexual overtones, frankness and, often, poses, reminiscent of amorous pleasures.
