Recent allegations of sexual misconduct against Terry Richardson seems to have scared off certain brands from maintaining relationships with the controversial photographer. Both Vogueand Aldo have announced that they will no longer work with Richardson.

However, Richardson's recent infamy seems to have perversely increased his popularity in some respects. Shortly after the scandal surrounded a Facebook message allegedly sent from Richardson soliciting a model for sex (which turned out to be fake), New York Magazine gave the photographer a cover story. Now, Playboy has announced that they will run an entire issue shot by Richardson.

The issue, called "California Dreamin," is set to run in 2015, and Richardson posted some of the X-rated images on his blog Terry's Diary

A Playboy spokeswoman told Jezebel, "Yes, Terry has shot for the magazine many times over the years, and has been a great partner."
