Terry Richardson faces numerous accusations of abusing his position of power and trust on photoshoots with models, all of which he has categorically denied.

Most recently, Caron Bernstein – a former model – has recalled meeting with Richardson for a photoshoot in 2003. She alleged that the photographer positioned her in a chair and started taking photos of her before exposing his penis and forcing himself into her mouth.

Berstein told New York Daily News: “It was like literally being shot with a stun gun. My brain just went on pause.”

She added that she “wasn’t drugged, I wasn’t handcuffed” during the alleged assault, which Richardson has denied.

During Tuesday’s episode of The View, Ashley Graham briefly commented on the multiple misconduct allegations against the photographer – with whom she has worked with in the past.

“I got the call to do the job, and of course, you know the rumours; you’ve heard them from everyone about him, and I said yes to the job because you want to work with the best of the best,” said Graham.

“You want those images in your portfolio.”

It was at this point that Sunny Hostin – who co-hosts the ABC talk show – interjected to ask Graham if she felt as if she was putting herself in harm’s way at this time, to which the model replied: “Of course I did.”

Graham continued: “I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, I could be a victim,’ … but you don’t know walking into it, because you have people who praise him.”
