\u201cThey took everything,\u201d Richardson wrote on Facebook.<\/a> \u201cI am at a complete loss for words and I am sad beyond belief. This is the lowest I\u2019ve ever been doing this job.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here is the complete text of Richardson\u2019s Facebook post:<\/strong><\/p>\n

And in other news I got robbed shooting a beauty shot. They took everything. I am at a complete loss for words and I am sad beyond belief. This is the lowest I\u2019ve ever been doing this job. I am ok they only threatened with a gun. I\u2019m just disappointed and now I have no gear, house\/car keys, medication and whatever else was in my backpack. Criminals suck.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
