I know GQ hired both Alex and Terry. Alex's team should have backed out or requested another photographer for his editorial. Terry is, lets say it nicely, not a good person.
I am completely DISGUSTED. I appreciate you sharing those links. Now I know a bunch of things about Terry that I hadn't known. My initial reaction to seeing Alex was much like Vegastar. I was so amused and into it like his Diary of a teenage girls appearance. Now seeing Terry and reading about him I am cringing. I mean I don't know why more people aren't outraged. This quote alone “Like I've always said, it's not who you know, it's who you blow. I don't have a hole in my jeans for nothing.”
That is without any of the terrible things he has "allegedly" done. I still think Alex looks handsome and I love him with the whole 70's 80's vibe but I am going to have to agree with buckeye. I really wish a different photographer shot the pictures.
Bad judgement call by Alex and his team IMHO - Terry Richardson is a gross, disgusting pervert and by agreeing to work with him celebs perpetuate his ability to get work.
He's deeply entrenched in fashion with Anna Wintour and other major campaigns and that seems to give him carte blanche and an "untouchability" . The fact they've dressed Alex up to look like him does him no favours either.
People have choices - Alex and his team could have said no.

I do'nt know how much control/veto power Alex and his team had, but someone, Alex, his team, whatever, should have said: different photographer please.
When the 'Uncle Terry' stuff really got publicized in spring/summer of 2014 there were publishers that decided not to work with him. But there were those that never stopped, and some probably started working with him again after the initial furor died down.

I had no idea who the photographer was or anything about him. After reading BuckeyeChicago's link I was shocked!! Even more shocked and confused after googling for more info. I am still just trying to process all this information and are lost for words. But I will say this; I unfortunately like Alex a little less right now for accepting this project.

Oh, I still like him. But from all we know of Alex over the years, he's the antithesis of 'Uncle Terry'. So I don't know why Richardson was chosen for this project, and why Alex and his team didn't realize that it's not a good thing to be working with him, either artistically, because he sucks, or basic decency-wise.

I am not a fan of that cover. He looks like a TR clone. As much as I dislike TR, he still photographs names. In the last year he's done covers of Rihanna, Emilia Clarke and Bella Hadid, so I guess he's still requested. I don't know the background for this shoot so I won't make a judgement, but will say, not liking that look.
On a positive note, I have my fingers crossed for an Alex in a suit sighting at the Emmys to wash away the memory of these pictures.

Richardson is gross, period. Can't like anything about him working with that creep. And yes, it's another narcissistic Uncle Terry shooting himself styling.
I think that's what bothers more specifically than Alex working with him: he really wasn't hurt that badly after the allegations came out 3 years ago. And it seems that he's doing just fine now, with the industry having decided it's in the past. Which says a lot more about the industry than it does about Alex.
The styling is by GQ's editor, Tobias Frericks, who just posted this:

Alex could do more interesting photo shoots than Richardson.
Thanks, ladies!
I thought Vogue had cut ties with Richardson? Are they still using him?

Thanks Santress. Now I'm more concerned that someone out there thinks TR represents 'real' America. And agree, he's been more utilized in Bazaar than Vogue, but as of late, mostly art mags and style things. I can't decide if I find those burgundy leather pants disturbing....
Oh god more awful pics. I'm dreading what the interview and the rest of the spread is going to be like.
His body is unreal though.
