On the wall of the restaurant where the party was that she met him. Apparently public for all to see. I am guessing that EGR met her there or verified the restaurant photo with a photo of the author.

She also said her photo is still on the wall of restaurant, so presumably Erin could have verified that against current photos/skype call/physical meeting of the person who wrote this email. At the very least, there is enough evidence to prove that the writer was photographed by Richardson at the party she claims to…

hahaha have you ever modeled and tried to get your photos? I emailed vanessa beecroft's people for AGES, begging for images of the shoot I did with her for my portfolio, and got nothing. She didn't harass or coerce me (and yes it was a group nude shoot), there was no fear of that, I just wanted it for my folio. It…

The thing is, Terry often doesn't do a contract.

Another thing that is alarming is his behavior in response to the accusations, which is majorly red-flaggy in itself. Anyone who actually wasn't assaulting people and had nothing to fear re: being caught would take the following steps:

Maybe some sign contracts, but many don't. Several of my friends have modeled for Richardson, though mostly in his early days when he had less leverage to power trip. None of them had a contract. 2 have major complaints about assaults; 1 wanted to fuck him, and did. He would still get ass if he got aggro with only…

It's a long, hard, dedicated, all-consuming, full time legal battle to prosecute an assault. I for one don't have the money to hire a lawyer who will get me a chance of the prosecution going anywhere. I have to work a job to support myself, so I can't financially afford to take time off work pursuing the prosecution.…

The thing is, NO ONE WANTS THE ATTENTION OF BEING A VICTIM. Do you want to be known for that? Clearly you find it abhorrent. So does pretty much EVERYONE ELSE IN OUR MAINSTREAM SOCIETY. Because of assholes like you. We all know that we no longer live in a society where women go to jail for having sex out of wedlock. …

It is very well known in the photography profession that subjects are not to be assaulted (why do I even have to say this?) If you can argue that this woman wasn't a "professional model," then certainly Terry Richardson - who is by all accounts a professional photographer who is well established and known as a…

It is baffling to me that Terry does not behave like every other regular photographer and adult producer ever, which is to provide a contract BEFORE THE SHOOT BEGINS, which says exactly what the duties of the model are in the shoot; which clarifies any potential or expectations of nudity and performance in advance and…

It takes a little "Is this okay?" before moving on to new body parts. I've ALWAYS been able to communicate with sex partners and provide/get consent. It can be said in a sexy voice. You can establish bounds of trust early on, by reiterating something like "I'm SO into you right now, I want to know if this is okay with…

NO. NO. NO. If you hope for sex, YOU need to clarify that it's OK for a person to say no and they won't be further coerced or retaliated against in any way , and also clearly obtain enthusiastic consent, BEFORE touching your genitalia to another person's body parts. That is the sex-initiator's responsibility.

Manicure in a restaurant? Ugh. Fingernail Fungus and clippy bits and dead skin flakes ahoy.

In the height of the low/no carb food craze, I ordered soba noodles at a Japanese restaurant for my birthday. I was very thin at the time because I had a severe gastrointestinal disease that I was recovering from. The server I think assumed I had an eating disorder, and when I ordered my dinner he made a comment,…

At this point, people are RARELY tipping because the server was just soooo amazing. I almost never have a server who is AMAZZIIINNNNG. They are generally fine, but nothing special. I tip because I know they have no chance of being paid fairly if I don't.

No one thinks anyone is an asshole for believing that. Lots of us believe that. It's just assholey when someone uses that belief as an excuse not to tip under our current system.

I tried.
