Mariah Carey Lets Terry Richardson Around Her Children

Terry Richardson

Pesky sexual misconduct rumors be damned!

As long as she can get a good lingerie pic, Mariah Carey doesn't mind letting her kids around controversial photographer Terry Richardson. He sure seems like the kind of person we'd want our kids around -- that Terry's, he's a real stand-up guy!

The 48-year-old celeb photographer posted the pic of himself and the songstress along with the caption,"@mariahcarey is #awesome #icon #legend #greatness."

Featured in Wonderland. magazine's summer 2014 issue, Mariah posed for the lecherous photog in a bevy of racy outfits as well as some snaps with her adorable twins, Moroccan and Monroe.

While the sexy shots have us a little surprised (does she not know that even Vogue has refused to touch Terry these days) -- it's the pics of the "Someday" singer playing with beloved children that have us even more perplexed. Who wants that guy around their kids?

We'd love to have a man who has been accused of abusing power for years, has depicted himself as having sex with a sheep and plays with tampons, around our young children.

Keep in mind, y'all, this is a man who once said, “I was a shy kid. ... and now I’m this powerful guy with a boner, dominating all these girls." Aww sweet! He's kind of like the male Mary Poppins!

Hey Mimi, maybe Casey Anthony is available for babysitting later?
