Gaga x Terry Richardson (What happened?)

[SharkmanthaC 111,961]

My husband got me the Lady Gaga x Terry Richardson book for Christmas.

Anyway, I loved looking at the book and the photos to get that look into Gaga's early career.  But can someone please explain to me what happened between Gaga and Richardson? I know he is not well liked on here, and that he had something to do with Do What You Want With My Body. I have googled and cannot find all of what went down. And some of you are better than Google when it comes to Gaga facts.

What are the chances we could get another book like this? For her more recent years (Enigma!).

Nothing between them directly happened (that we know of) but the whole Terry Richardson being a creep thing happened (Around the same time it happened with R Kelly I think) and she distanced herself after the DWUW vid (featuring both of them) because she probably realised they weren't just misunderstood by the media but they were actually guilty of what they were accused of

She just stopped associating with him as much. Probably because he was a major creep.

Taylor Swift cancelled the release of the Red Tour Movie because it was shot by him and before the release the whole allegations and stuff came out. so good that gaga isn't associating with him anymore. There are plenty of other photographers who aren't creeps

Early career? Damn I feel old.

I know about R. Kelly, but didn't realize he was accused of things. I found it all on Wikipedia and now I'm 

And hopefully he didn't force Gaga into compromising situations. I felt like some of the photos (like her getting out of bed) to be a bit creepy, but if she approved of it.

Have you seen his photo shoots? This guy is so obsessed with Sexxx I had no idea why Gaga was so fixated to work with him... the first work/pictures that I saw from him I right away got a weird vibe... I’m so glad Gaga is trying to stay away from him like she did with R Kelly

This perv’s advances were probably rejected.

I hadn't really looked at them.  I looked briefly at his website. It does seem odd, I'm glad she's separated some.

I don't think he did

I think the reason Gaga had him and R kelly on DWUW and in general is because she really believed they might've been misunderstood, as she has been before, which is sad because it shows the flaw of her being such a nice person

Honestly nothing really went down but Gaga has definitely kept her distance towards him lately actually I don’t know if anyone collab with him recently  the coffee book was amazing but obvi Terry is a disgusting total creep but his style is really good for behind the scene shots and I’d be lying to say if I didn’t love his work

if she were to do another book i feel like she would go with Eli Russell Linnetz

More than likely since allegations started coming out about him she kept her distance. I mean he's always been controversial but I think people started to take the allegations against him more seriously (pre Me Too movement). I think now he barely does any work since a lot of the industry has shunned him.

There's quite a few fashion photographers at the moment such as Mario Testino and Bruce Weber who have some pretty serious sexual misconduct accusations against them.

There is nothing wrong with an artist being inspired by sex and sexuality. Gaga is arguably the most sexually fearless pop star since Madonna. So it's only natural that Terry and Gaga would naturally be drawn to one another.

Gaga has written dozens of songs about sex and masturbation. She was a stripper. She introduced the term "disco stick" into the public's lexicon. She simulated oral sex on SNL. She has shown off pink and green public hair. She has posed on the cover of a magazine with a strap-on under her pants. She has writhed around nearly naked in cake, glitter, grease, and fake blood. When asked what she looks for in a man she responded, "a big ****." She has done full frontal photo shoots in which she is hog tied with her genitals exposed. She once said, "I write about what I know; sex, ****ography, art, fame, obsession, drugs, and alcohol." 

Gaga's art has different focuses, but one common thread is sex. From The Fame To Joanne she has been singing about dancing in circles with her bluffin' muffin.

i think their projects together would only get a release if he goes to jail or die.

Terry Richardson is a terrible person and a creep.

I'm honestly disappointed she worked with him up until 2016, considering the allegations first surfaced in 2013.
