Theodora Richards, the fashion model daughter of legendary Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards, was arrested last night after cops caught her tagging the side of a SoHo convent. Richards was allegedly scrawling "TNA" (with a "paint marker") on the building on Spring Street, which houses St. Anthony's Convent, when police caught her late last night; she also had marijuana and Xanax pills on her person. She was charged with making graffiti, possession of a graffiti instrument and possession of a controlled substance.
Richards, 25, has modeled for a Tommy Hilfiger campaign and appeared in various fashion magazines, including Vogue, Glamour and Rolling Stone. Unlike her hard-living father, who is notorious for his heroin-fueled exploits with the Stones, Richards told FemaleFirst that she wasn't really into drugs: "My dad's generation was all about rebellion. I'm rebelling against my generation in a softer way. Many of the kids around me just want to go out and party every night but I don't. I'm not a big fan of drugs. Everybody's had their own experience." But what's more rebellious than smoking cigarettes in the NY Public Library?
As for her "TNA" message, we have two major theories: maybe she's a part of the TNA graffiti crew, or she's a huge Total Nonstop Action Wrestling aficionado. Reader David Webb posits his own idea: "I have a theory about her tag. Given the photograph of her in lingerie, might not TNA stand for "Tits -n- ass"?"
