It's not always easy to say no and leave, especially if you're trying to make it big in certain industries...

So women being forced into doing shyt they don't want to happens a lot, especially in music and film...


That said, that is clearly not what happened with Alicia here, she is trying to blur the lines between willingness to comply for career advancement and forceful coercion/sexual assault...

There is no gray area here, its pretty straight forward...

If he ASKED you to do something and you do it, that's not on him, that's on you...If he FORCED you to do something (physically or gave you no choice to walk away), that's on him...


While this is true, she doesnt have to succumb to it either. He is a scum bag but he didnt force her to do shyt here.

OP got what he wanted by putting "I was metooed" in quotes, as if Alicia said that, when in reality she didn't. She just described a situation where a famous photographer manipulated his way into a one on one photoshoot, leaving her team outside the room, and then told her to take photos she wasn't comfortable with. It's a common story for new entertainers that are still learning the ins and out of the industry. And this was in 2000, before there was a consciousness over if things like that are okay or "just the way it is."

If the thread would have been titled "Alicia Keys describes umcomfortable photoshoot in her early career that she learned from and made her stronger" it would have been more accurate, but probably wouldn't have got the wolves in here to shyt on her and be fake outraged over "me too gone to far".

A lot of you cats are talking about this dude as though he's still active...

There's also been several threads on here about terry richardson's crazy photography, I have no doubt in my mind that he made alicia keys uncomfortable (NSFW)

I don't know sounds like a reach to me cause she should have said no. She can only be mad at herself.

It's not like he even doubled down on it after she said something or he was being creepy. The photographer just wanted her to sexy it up a bit and it was on her to say no tbh.

Part of what made her uncomfortable was that her team weren't permitted inside for the shoot. She feels at that point in her life/career, her team would have spoken up for her where she was timid. It was a lesson she learned, that it wasn't just industry standard for her to have to have a one on one photoshoot without any manager or agent with her, or that she has to comply with what a celebrated male "make or break" figure wants. That's literally the point of her ancedote, that she learned from it, made a promise to herself, and tries to live by it.

A guy like Terry Richardson knows what he is doing when he seperates talent from their management.

You can tell who actually read it and who didn't. Some of these dudes really get triggered when they see #MeToo and the OP knew that:francis:

Funny how you can completely change the narrative with a word or a phrase :wow: That's how you manipulate a population just like how mainstream media does:wow:

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
T Richardson has been doing nude shoots for years, this is known or at least I thought it was. Keys should've left if she felt some type of way but I guess she's trying to sell the book. Now, on to more important matters

Yall said there's Alicia Keys nudes ?
And this is what I'm talking about. She had her own team and family around.. Professionals and regular people. Nobody knew what type of pics this guy took? The coli knows and we ain't even in the industry. The world knows this guys name and work and go to him for that. Then he says he needs people to leave. I get that you're young and you feel a way about it. You didn't speak up but you felt you had to do it and get through with it.

Afterwards you do millions of the same shoots. Even some within months.. Same poses and all. Then you don't speak on it until now. Don't even give him the benefit of leaving his name out of it. Just put him all up in it, like he wronged you, when he simply did what he was asked to do. He didn't try to touch you or get you to do something or even ask twice cause you had reservations.

In 2020, she knows good and well what this story would push onto this man. Just look in the thread. Following him around and taking pics now. Probably running up on him. Here will come more women out the woodwork. If he's hurting women, then fukk him.. But damn.. The man taking racy photos since the Madonna days.. Now we onto photographers?
