In an candid interview with Harperâs Bazaar Australia, the multi-talented Emily Ratajkowski opened up about the backlash sheâs received for being a feminist whoâs proud of her sexuality. Especially on social media, she loves to show off her model-esque body, which is something the public has a hard time taking seriously.
âThereâs this thing that happens to me: âOh, sheâs too sexy.â Itâs like an anti-woman thing, people donât want to work with me because my boobs are too big,â she explained. âWhatâs wrong with boobs? Theyâre a beautiful, feminine thing that needs to be celebrated. Like, who cares? They are great big, they are great small. Why should that be an issue?â
Ratajkowski’s long-term boyfriend Jeff Madrid supports her decision to post nude photos on social media. âMy boyfriend is super confident and was raised by his mum, so he also genuinely loves and admires women,â she said. âNot just âOh yeah, women are cool.â He deeply loves and respects women, so he loves what Iâm all about.â
The 26-year-old will continue to post photos of herself because she feels âit illustrates [her] point over and over.” She should have the right to celebrate the feminine body without receiving backlash, especially not from women, because thatâs what feminism is all about. Be kind and support every woman. Â
