The model Emily Ratajkowski denounces in a book to have been treated "simply as a body"

In the volume, composed of several essays, remember how in 2013 he lived a traumatic experience in the filming of the videopclip of the song 'Blurred Lines', by singer Robin Thicke: "Suddenly, out of nowhere, I felt the freshness and strangeness ofThe hands of a stranger who touched my bare breasts from behind.I instinctively separated and turned to look [Robin Thicke] ".

The model, which was 21 years old, tells how she felt at that time: "I felt naked for the first time that day.I took my chin forward and shrugged, avoiding visual contact, feeling the heat of humiliation pumping my body ", to end this phrase:" I did not react.Not as I should have done it ".

And what is now thinking about that now is strong: "With that only gesture, Robin Thicke remembered everyone on the set that women were not really in command.I had no real power like the naked girl who danced in her music video ".

Write as therapy

'My body', a book whose writing has almost served him as a therapy, Emily Ratajkowski says he has thought about his past and has realized that, in reality, for others it was nothing more than an object: "I have internalizedThe way they have not taken me seriously and they have simply treated me like a body ".

The model is very clear that her body and figure have been nothing more than a currency."My book," he says, "It's not just another #MeToo story.This is a book about capitalism.I only have an asset I negotiated, and I think most women have it ".
