Supermodel and actress, Emily Ratajkowski, has never shied away from making a statement. Aside from her glowing modeling and acting career, she is also a huge champion for feminism and hasn’t ever been afraid to make this side of her known.
But her latest Instagram post has not gone down well…
Scroll down for the full story.
Now, Emily Ratajkowski…
There’s no denying that Ratajkowski has a pretty impressive resume, posing for the likes of Allure, Vogue, Marie Claire, and LOVE, to name a few.
Although you may remember her from that famous music video.
Yep, she starred in the 2013 music video for Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines.”
The gig bagged the model her big break and cemented her as the latest sex symbol of the celeb-o-sphere.
And any iCarly fans out there will probably recognize her, too.
Now, this is some serious nostalgia.
The model has had a successful stab at acting, landing a recurring role as Gibby’s girlfriend in Nickelodeon’s iCarly.
If that doesn’t ring a bell, she was also in the 2014 movie, Gone Girl.
Remember Ben Affleck’s mistress in the thriller? Well, that was Ratajkowski too.
After taking the modeling world by storm, she has quickly gone from “that girl from the blurred lines video” to an international star.
Her gleaming portfolio includes the likes of some of the biggest publications and designers in the industry, making her one of the most-talked-about names in fashion.
In 2017, the star said she struggled to get breaking into the industry because her body didn’t fit the typical mould of a model. What?
Ratajkowski admitted that her body was deemed too “sexy” to work with.
And it all comes down to the size of her boobs…
“There’s this thing that happens to me: ‘Oh, she’s too sexy.’ It’s like an anti-woman thing, people don’t want to work with me because my boobs are too big.”
Between runway shows and glossy print gigs, the star regularly posts shots of herself Instagram, and you have to admit that, objectively, she does look gorgeous.
Since breaking out into the industry, the star has been using her platform to speak out about the unprecedented policing of women’s bodies.
Considering the fact that she’s a model, she often poses for revealing shots, which people tend to slam her for because you apparently can’t show a bit of skin and be a feminist at the same time.
But the model believes otherwise – that no one should be able to dictate what a woman wears.
Last year, she was among the three-hundred people who took to the streets to protest the Supreme Court nomination of Brett Kavanaugh…
A man who was accused of sexually assaulting university professor, Christine Blasey, in 1982.
“I demand a government that acknowledges, respects and supports women as much as it does men,” the model wrote on her Instagram…
Sharing photos of herself at the rally.
Ridiculously, instead of focusing on the important reason for the protest, people decided to focus on what the model was wearing, instead.
Critics began trolling her for not wearing a bra to the protest, arguing that going braless, wearing a tank top, took away from her political motivations.
Because, honestly, Whatever she chooses to dress herself in should be completely irrelevant.
After the Harvey Weinstein scandal broke, the model took to Twitter to express how “tired” she is of having to worry about what men will think if she wears a short skirt.
“I’m tired of having to consider how I might be perceived by men if I wear the short skirt or post a sexy Instagram,” she wrote.
Adding: “I want to do what I want to do. Feminism isn’t about adjusting, it’s about freedom and choice.”
The star has also been very vocal that she believes in the right to choose.
So much so, that earlier this year, she posed nude as a stand against the controversial Alabama abortion law.
She continually stresses that she can wear as many, or as little, clothes as she wants and still be a feminist.
It’s honestly quite sad that she has to constantly defend herself.
But Ratajkowski’s latest Instagram has had people feeling pretty grossed out…
“This is not okay. I don’t care how pretty you are,” one person wrote.
“I wouldn’t post a naked baby pic. Just post yourself,” another added.
Ratajkowski has been slammed for taking a picture of herself and her young son in the bath.
She shared multiple sweet pics with her son on Instagram.
Captioning the post “loml.”
Despite nothing being on show, the photo clearly ruffled a few feathers.
However, many fans also came to her defense in the comment section.
“The most beautiful post,” one person wrote.
While another penned: “Beautiful moments captured. Human body is powerful. I see some people sexualizing Emily – and those people are sick in the head.
“This is her in a position of [being a] nurturing mother, playing with her baby. Nothing sexual here. People who think otherwise should get therapy.”
The post has clearly left people divided.
