Emily Ratajkowski has asked a comedian to stop parading her pictures.
The 33-year-old actress and model first became well-known from her part in the popular Nickelodeon series iCarly. She has landed major movie parts since then in films including Gone Girl and We Are Your Friends. If you are not familiar with Ratajkowski’s cinematic work, you could identify her from the Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams music video for “Blurred Lines.” But the I Feel Pretty star is maybe becoming just as well-known for her daring Instagram photos, which a comic has been copying.
Although some may find the recreations funny, it seems to have shook Ratajkowski’s cage since she begged the content producer to stop.
Australian comedian Celeste Barber posted Ratajkowski imitations along with other celebrity Instagram replays.
With her trademark brand of comedy, she has targeted prominent celebrities such Gwyneth Paltrow, Bella Hadid, Kylie Jenner, and Kim Kardashian.
Along with the text “We are sick of you objectifying our bodies!” Barber uploaded a bikini-clad image in a Ratajkowski stance in 2021. Here is also my **.
Ratajkowski appears, however, not particularly interested in the satire.
Barber remarked on the Fitzy and Wippa radio show (per Yahoo) “I don’t think Emily is a fan.” That’s alright; she is free to not enjoy it. But she blocked me.
Ratajkowski has talked before about how she thinks her appearance has hampered her professionally.
She said to USA Today: “I’ve gone in for roles and producers tell me I’m too beautiful to play a part.” That is so absurd and aggravating. They have seen too many images of you posing as a model, so you are not able to land a part. People see what they have seen before; it is an industry. Someone has a lot of work ahead of them to gamble on you.
She covered this in her book, “My Body,” too.
According to Ratajkowski, who was quoted in the New York Post, “It had never occurred to me that the women who gained their power from beauty were indebted to the men whose desire granted them that power in the first place.”
The women that the world worshipped were not the ones who were under control; rather, those men were.
Ratajkowski spoke on her High Low with EmRata podcast about the Barber incident.
“This whole situation with Celeste has been exaggerated. She generally strikes me as being quite humorous. But [the] message I was trying to convey to her was, “I just want you not to do this to me anymore,'” she said.
“[I want] to be able to do my thing, whether that be writing about my horrific experiences in an industry that doesn’t protect women and young girls and femme-presenting people while also having a bathing suit line.”
“I was thinking, I’m not going to give her my okay for this joke anymore,” she remarked a moment later. In my experience, it just happened to arrive at that specific moment.
“We really enjoy picking on female influencers as if they are the trash, lamest, most cringe, and most embarrassing people on the planet,” Ratajkowski stated in her explanation of why she was opposed to the idea. That seems to me to be s**ist basically. Indeed, one of the ways women have learnt to be successful and earn money is as influencers; they want to be such. They are working hard.
Barber’s response to the drama has been appropriate.
She said to Marie Claire, “I like running my mouth off.” I do that rather frequently. One of my favorite things about myself is my fast wit. I find that I can’t do it as much, hence yes I do feel like I censor myself occasionally. Other times, though, I operate from a place of already being canceled and I don’t give a f***. “Good fortune to them.” You are not going to prevail. One day you loathe what you do; then, the following day you are the greatest thing on Earth.
