Richard Durrah Photography

Apr 2024

I fired Richard Durrah due to his general incompetence as an Executive Producer. However, his sexual harassment and abusive behavior were contributing factors as well. Currently, I do not have access to my podcast or work product thereof because Richard Durrah is blackmailing me to pay for the password. A password I asked him to provide to me many times before I terminated him. Via email, I negotiated with Richard Durrah the amount I was willing to pay for my password and instructed him to have his lawyer draw up the paperwork. That was last year. He has yet to follow through. Richard Durrah failed, failure is a salient feature of his character, to deliver as an Executive Producer. The password is something I asked for many times before. But as is his record, he failed to produce. It was never about the podcast, yet him having access to me. Once Richard Durrah started blackmailing me, I offered to pay because that is my body of work. At that time, I didn't recognize how egregious and inappropriate his demands were. I was also under an undue amount of stress due to the passing of my father- my last surviving parent and other crisises. Now I realize Richard Durrah took advantage nd was taking advantage of my obvious vulnerability. A vulnerability I revealed because I trusted him. I'm not naive. I've been taken advantage of because my parents weren't protectors so I never had any so I don't have any. I am hyper-independent and tend to keep things ro myself. Moreover, the branding of the podcast isn't his. I was asked to perform this task and that individual graciously lended their branding to me, not him. While Richard Durrah offered his menial assistance, it was inconsequential to the work of the women who truly made the podcast viable. Yet, after I terminated our business relationship and he blackmailed, we agreed to terms, he then told me he was firing me and taking over the podcast. Something that he legitimately could not do because the branding and execution of the podcast were given to me, not him. Richard Durrah proves there is never a shortage of men willing to take and claim credit for a woman's work. Richard Durrah consistently failed to perform on an Executive Producer level as he couldn't even perform the most basic of tasks in a timely manner . After months of asking, he did not produce a Facebook/Instagram page or an introduction/ outro for the podcast. Additionally, all content, ideas, interviews and scheduling were left up to me as he lacked the capacity to perform those basic functions. Richard Durrah also conveniently "lost" my content, while being unable to replace it by introducing his own interviews or content because was and is too uneducated and inarticulate to do so. Richard Durrah is not an Executive Producer. Richard Durrah is merely a dysfunctional "professional" masquerading as such. I performed the majority of the work while he claimed credit. Our podcast was available exclusively on Spotify as he was too lazy to make it available on other platforms even though I asked multiple times to make the podcast more accessible. Richard Durrah inserted and promoted himself over me like a typical, inept misogynist. He claimed all credit like he was an Ira Glasss. Obviously, he isn't even close to being the Tubi Version of such. Richard Durrah doesn't even know who Ira Glass is. Furthermore, Richard Durrah even went on to promote his services as a podcast producer when by doing so he was taking credit and exploiting my work. Work he had never performed and was and is still incapable of performing. Richard Durrah never secured my guests, scheduled my guests, pre-interviewed or interviewed guests or scheduled the space and time to do so. Additionally, he became increasingly inappropriate telling me such things as "Don't give my sugar away." When I fired him, he continued to harass me. He touched me inappropriately and when I told him to stay away from me and not touch me, he called me a "Fat Black bitch" and threa
