Apr 21, 2014 9:07 PM UTC Terry Richardson is back in the spotlight, and it’s not for a good reason. On the heels of a new scandal involving the embattled photographer, _Vogue_ made clear it has “no plans” to work with Richardson in the future, [telling _Us Weekly_](http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/vogue-drops-terry-richardson-no-plans-to-work-with-photographer-2014214): --- > “” --- It all started when British model Emma Appleton tweeted a screenshot of a message she said was from Richardson. The message implied that the photographer was offering the model an opportunity to be in _Vogue_ in exchange for sex ([see the tweet at Buzzfeed](http://www.buzzfeed.com/alisonvingiano/vogue-terry-richardson-conde-nast)). Her tweet of the message went viral soon after she posted it. The model has since deleted her Twitter, while a Richardson spokesperson told Buzzfeed’s Kate Aurthur that the message is a fake. Appleton later [took to her Instagram account](http://instagram.com/p/nDAxk0pcCt/) to address the situation. Richardson has been repeatedly under fire for his alleged inappropriate behavior on set. [Several](http://jezebel.com/5494634/meet-terry-richardson-the-worlds-most-fked-up-fashion-photographer) [models](http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx%5Ffactor/2014/03/14/terry%5Frichardson%5Fsexual%5Fharassment%5Faccusations%5Fthe%5Fphotographer%5Fdenies%5Fharassment.html) have come forward to discuss their experiences working with him, including Coco Rocha, who said [she’s shot with him before but “won’t do it again](http://www.styleite.com/news/coco-rocha-wont-work-with-terry-richardson-ever-again/).” Despite this, he remains one of the most prominent photographers in the fashion world, successfully shooting a bevy of beauties ranging from Kate Upton to [Beyoncé](http://www.gq.com/women/photos/201301/beyonce-cover-story-photos-gq-february-2013#slide=1). He shot [nearly nude photos of ](http://www.idolator.com/7487399/miley-cyrus-nude-terry-richardson-porn)[Miley Cyrus](http://www.idolator.com/7487399/miley-cyrus-nude-terry-richardson-porn) that went viral last year. In March, Richardson defended himself against the “cycle of Internet gossip and false accusations” in a column called “Correcting the Rumors,” which [appeared on The Huffington Post](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/terry-richardson/response-to-rumors%5Fb%5F4963974.html). “Sadly, in the on-going quest for controversy-generated page views, sloppy journalism fueled by sensationalized, malicious, and manipulative recountings of this work has given rise to angry Internet crusadesm” he wrote. “Well-intentioned or not, they are based on lies. Believing such rumors at face value does a disservice not only to the spirit of artistic endeavor, but most importantly, to the real victims of exploitation and abuse.” The letter prompted a flurry of disgusted replies, including a [direct response](http://observer.com/2014/03/the-true-nature-of-terry-richardsons-work/) from a model who wrote about her experiences with him in 2010. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/70714/terry-richardson-vogue-emma-appleton/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/70714/terry-richardson-vogue-emma-appleton/"},"headline":"Vogue Has 'No Plans' to Work With Controversial Photographer Terry Richardson Again","datePublished":"2014-04-21T21:07:32.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:55:10.450Z","description":"Terry Richardson is back in the spotlight, and it's not for a good reason.
