Emily Ratajkowski rose to fame with a starring role in Robin Thicke’s 2013 hit, Blurred Lines and today, she is one of the stars to be reckoned with in the entertainment circle.
And Emily Ratajkowski has opened up to Harper’s Bazaar Australia about her ‘unique message’ of using overt se*uality as a self-proclaimed feminist.
The 26-year-old shed light on the backlash she has received on social media for her provocative stance in the magazine’s August 2017 issue.
‘There’s this thing that happens to me: “Oh, she’s too s*xy”. It’s like an anti-woman thing, people don’t want to work with me because my b**bs are too big,’ she said.
‘What’s wrong with b**bs? They’re a beautiful, feminine thing that needs to be celebrated. Like, who cares?’ she continued.
The aspiring actress touched on the scrutiny she is under for positioning herself as a feminist while flaunting her body in scantily clad and n*de imagery.
‘I have no problem with the backlash, because I feel it illustrates my point over and over,’ she stated.
After featuring in a n*de photo shoot for Harper’s in 2016, Piers Morgan tweeted her: ‘Do you want me to buy you some clothes? You look freezing.’
She quickly responded: ‘@piersmorgan thanks, but I don’t need clothes as much as you need press.’
Earlier that year, the London-born model made headlines when she posed n*ked alongside Kim Kardashian for a mirror selfie.
‘The whole idea is that when Kim takes a n*de selfie, she’s just seeking attention. That’s not the issue. A woman can be seeking attention and also make a statement. They don’t need to be mutually exclusive,’ she told Harper’s Bazaar at the time.
For her new Harper’s spread, Emily wore Louis Vuitton, was photographed by Pamela Hanson, styled by Naomi Smith, hair by John Ruggiero and makeup by Jo Strettell.
