"I couldn’t have complained in that moment. Ratajkowski then said that Martel stopped the music and there was a "weird moment" on set before they ultimately kept shooting. And then I remembered this moment when he was kind of drunk and he was in a little bit of a not great mood and we were shooting by ourselves and he put his hands on my breasts really quickly," she recalled. And I was like, why am I blocked? And sat there for a second and was like, did I say something? Like in the press. "I was just laying in bed and went to Robin Thicke’s Instagram because I think his girlfriend had just gotten pregnant or something. It later came back to her when Thicke's name was in the news. I wasn’t like, I’m just not gonna remember that part," she explained. I would say that I just completely put it out of my mind because that also makes it sound like it was a choice. After leaving the set that day, however, the memory disappeared. The point at which Ratajkowski's experience changed happened later in the day when she was filming a scene alone with Thicke. And guess what, now I’m famous, so I’m like making more money than I definitely did then so how can you assume I’m not empowered?'" It was my choice and I did feel powerful in that moment. "That’s why when a lot of people would say things like, 'Oh this video is misogynistic, why did you decide to do it, aren’t you embarrassed?' Basically, I was like, 'Get off my back, f*** off. So that was the majority of the shoot," she explained. When you’re like relaxed with your girlfriends and you’re dancing around and you just feel completely comfortable. There were girls a little bit older than me being like, 'Oh my God you look so cute, do you like your outfit?' That’s why I think I dance so funny and stuff. Truly just being used as a body and a face. "You’re a mannequin, which is what I write in the book. Her experience on the set before interacting with Thicke was notably positive in comparison to that of her other modeling gigs at the time.
She also wasn't offered a lot of money, although she ended up making more than she was initially promised. That’s why I initially had it first in the book."Īt the time, Ratajkowski didn't know who Thicke was, but was a fan of Pharrell who was featured on the song. And once I started to be like, wait, maybe things have actually been a little more complicated than I always wanted to believe they were, that’s when I remembered this situation and experience. I didn’t even fully remember the experience because I was like no, no, no. "The reason that I wrote about it is it was something that I had completely put into a certain category and box and thought about and talked about in one way. So to just open up that can of worms and be like, 'let's talk about it' went against like every instinct that I had," she told Alex Cooper on an episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast. I feel like I’ve spent my entire career trying not to be the girl from that video. "'Blurred Lines' is something that I didn’t want to write about at all.
However, Ratajkowski admitted that she didn't want to revisit her interaction with Thicke in anticipation of the response. The event is detailed in one of Ratajkowski's essays included in her new book titled My Body, which explores the different ways in which she has viewed her body throughout her life and career, including the birth of her first child in March. Just over one month since Emily Ratajkowski accused Robin Thicke of groping her bare breasts on the set of the "Blurred Lines" music video shoot, the model is sharing that she didn't even recall the interaction until years later. Emily Ratajkowski explains how she recalled a forgotten incident with Robin Thicke.
