Richmond was a director on the first season of the MTV reality television series The Real World: New York in 1992. His association with that series came to an end when he moved on-screen and became romantically involved with one of the cast, Rebecca Blasband, when the show vacationed in Jamaica.[1] This incident led to the establishment of a production rule preventing crew members from associating socially with the cast.[2]
