Terry Richardson faces slandering allegations regarding sexual abuse, and now is speaking out. He spoke with New York magazine, whose current cover story asks, "Is Terry Richardson an artist or a predator?" Keep reading to find out what he had to say!

"It's insane, the internet. Totally craziness," he begins. "Like a little cancer. People can just do whatever they want, say whatever they want, be totally anonymous. It's totally out of control."

He remains adamant that nothing could have ever happened between him and the models, as there were always other people around.

"It was never just me and a girl ever," the photographer stated. "It was always assistants, or other people around, or girls brought friends over to hang out. It was very daytime, no drugs, no alcohol. It was a happening, there was energy, it was fun, it was exciting, making these strong images, and that's what it was. People collaborating and exploring sexuality and taking pictures."

While Richardson is known for controversial, explicit shots, he claims he never made any model do anything she was uncomfortable with.

"When I was taking those pictures... I was very, like, 'Cool, sounds great, let's do it, great, okay, sure, great, cool, if not, no problem, never do anything you don't want to do, of course, I totally respect that.'"

When asked if he had any regrets, Richardson responded, "I don't have any regrets about the work at all. but obviously I don't ever want someone to feel like that. It was never my intention. But also, people do things, and then they have regrets, and that's also nothing to do with me. Then don't do pictures like that again ... I'm okay with myself about everything, and that to me is the most important thing."

Richardson is said to have worked out a deal with Harper's Bazaar.
