The actor shared a photo of him and Richardson after a Harper’s Bazaar shoot. “I had absolutely no idea about the controversy and feel bad for not having been appraised of it.”
This might be the worst week to work with Terry Richardson. But no one told Alan Cumming that.
On Sunday night, New York published a cover story on the fashion photographer, who for years has been accused of coercing models into performing sexual acts on him, or allowing him to perform sexual acts on them.
The profile enraged many longtime Richardson critics, who argued the piece downplayed the voices of his alleged victims. Models interviewed in the piece reached out to BuzzFeed and The Guardian , reminding the world of their alleged encounters with Richardson. Another woman made new accusations on Jezebel. On Thursday, TMZ published a clip from a never-released Richardson-directed video for Lady Gaga's "Do What U Want," which one Page Six source described as "literally an ad for rape."
So when Alan Cumming — the beloved Scottish-American star of Broadway's Cabaret and CBS's The Good Wife — tweeted an image of himself with Richardson later on Thursday, many expressed disappointment in him and Harper's Bazaar — which has become a safe haven in the fashion world for Richardson.
