Ronk 14,762 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 The posts on this thread have proven there is no civility, no kindness. I wouldn't blame Gaga if she never visits GGD or twitter again and just locks herself in a room and creates music for herself. Her music is amazing because it's her artistry. My mantra is Gaga unchained! I live outside the space time continuum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

itaita 0 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I'm not believing in what I read I believe in what I see. Take away the name Terry Richardson and all you got left is creep. But he can get away with it because he's Terry Richardson. Pretty much. There are many in this industry like him, Hollywood especially. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Kunst 0 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Why does no one like terry?He did an photo series called "Terryworld" around 2004ish which showed, among other explicit concepts, him performing s-x acts with some of his subjects. People here have gotten the idea that he forced professional models into doing those shoots by threatening to ruin their careers if they refused, however I don't think that's true. Some former subjects have also come forward and told their stories about feeling uncomfortable after working with him (though those stories do not confirm that specific accusation at all, as far as I've seen).There's a petition going around to urge celebrities and fashion brands to stop working with him, but it makes at least one claim that I know to be totally false, it misrepresents some quotes from him by taking them out of context, and it doesn't cite its sources. So if you see it take it with a grain of salt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
itaita 0 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 So how did you come to those conclusions just from seeing his photos? You didn't. People were shocked when that photo series debuted almost ten years ago. But part of the shock was that subjects really did consent to those performances. You have obviously never been a wanna-be artist/model/actor/actress who - think - they would do ANYTHING to get noticed and photographed by the mighty Uncle Terry. You have also obviously never found yourself in a studio, under bright lights, given d--gs/alcohol and asked casually to take your clothes off - just cause you're a good girl and if you do what you're told - including some oral stimulation - you will get that break/cover/opportunity. You have never been harassed or taken advantage of, have you? Well, good for you. I hope it never happens to you, m'dear. Mr Terry Richardson is one of those guys and he's done this to MANY girls. He can be an angel with LG because she is a superstar. But his track record with others is far less appealing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't even match the first-hand stories I've seen, so did I miss one or did you just make that all up? Like I know that's what Terry's been accused of my members here, but the issue is whether those accusations are based on facts or not. If you just make up a bunch of **** then I think we can safely conclude its not factual.If someone chose to perform s-xual acts on camera thinking it would somehow make them famous its still their choice, therefore consensual. What someone freely chooses to do is their own responsibility, even if they choose to do "ANYTHING". And as far as I can tell Terry's s-xually explicit work was kept separate from his work with professional models for covers and advertisements, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D0WhatY0uWant 0 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Omg I just realized she's 27 I hope she does NOT join the 27 club BUT omg i tought she knew what she was doing (you know playin their game) GAGA please dont lose control , what happened to the girl that mastered the art of fame?

Ronk 14,762 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I hope she'll be okay :( Me too, Bambino, me too. I wish for Gaga all the best that life can bring, all the happiness, all the kindness, the warmth, love and support of family and friends. I live outside the space time continuum.

ThreadKiller 0 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I didn't say that, though. Like, at all. She's explored the same subject in the past many times, though maybe not as openly. But she's been more open in general this era. Ah, okay :) When has she explored this, in a song or something? #noshadehere Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as far as I can tell Terry's s-xually explicit work was kept separate from his work with professional models for covers and advertisements, etc. Part of my work has me dealing with several advertising agencies, who are in turn connected to the wonderful (not) world of modeling ones etc. Anyway, this article is pretty spot on as far as the big picture and what I have heard from casual exchanges. http://jezebel.com/5495699/exclusive-more-models-come-forward-with-allegations-against-fashion-photographer Let me just say this - before you come back with 'not guilty until proven etc etc': this industry is as corrupt as it gets. A big name will get you anywhere and anything, especially if you're a powerful male. Allegations if you're a celebrity only go that far. Many, many people who are abused NEVER speak up because they want to get ahead and they are afraid of being blacklisted. Terry will never be convicted of anything by anyone. Such is the world of entertainment. That's all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappuccino 11 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 You're implying that the only way to grow is by doing what other people say. that is obviously not what hes saying. read the OP AGAIN The posts on this thread have proven there is no civility, no kindness. I wouldn't blame Gaga if she never visits GGD or twitter again and just locks herself in a room and creates music for herself. Her music is amazing because it's her artistry. My mantra is Gaga unchained! really ? like really ? welll at the end of the day i think let Gaga be Gaga, she does whatever she wants to, d--gs, smokes, people learn from mistakes and im sure Gaga does that as well .... so yea, we just have to watch gaga grows by time :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Kunst 0 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Ah, okay :)When has she explored this, in a song or something? #noshadehereWell for example that was all part of the concept behind the 2009 VMA performance of Paparazzi, as well as the Paparazzi video. All about how the media builds up stars but also loves to watch them fall or suffer in dramatic ways.Also Gaga mentioned in the past her distaste for all the hate directed at Rebecca Black, for another example.

djBuffoon 12,119 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Artistically and creatively, she is doing absolutely no wrong in my eyes with this era. It is lack of strategy and planning that has me frustrated, and there's only so much that she can control about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
