AceShowbiz - Emily Ratajkowski has come under fire over her latest photoshoot. The "Gone Girl" actress found herself being labeled "fatphobic" for her "strange" pose in the French magazine Le Monde.
In one of the pictures shared on Instagram, the 32-year-old could be seen standing entirely in one leg of a pair of jeans. She was holding the waistband out to the side as if to show off her toned physique.
Many were not pleased to see the snap. "What a strange second photo. And you wrote a book about body image? Mm!" one person argued, while another commented, "Designers won't make plus sizes unless it's for a photo opp where a thin person can be quirky."
"What in the fatphobic hell is that second picture … so distasteful and disgusting…. how did anybody okay that," a third fumed. "That second photo is such godforsaken trash. In the year of our lord 2023?? STILL??? Yikes," someone else added. Plus-size model Tess Holliday also joined in, "I've been looking for those jeans in the second photo if you could just please return them that would cool. Tysm."
Emily discusses body image, beauty standards, and the societal pressure placed on women's bodies in her 2021 book, "My Body". Earlier this year, she admitted that she wanted the world to start to "give a s***" about her brain after she published her book.
"Control is a huge theme in my life. (When 'My Body' was released) I was like, 'Please God, let the world give a s*** about my brain,' " she told Elle magazine. "I felt very timid. I was careful not to wear or post anything sexy."
Emily said her "High Low" podcast is another way she is currently displaying her intellect. She added, "The first episode, I put up this clip where I sound very Valley girl-y. I said something about smart conversations. It got all these views and did a great job promoting the podcast because everyone was so happy to gleefully tear me down and be like, 'Who's had a smart conversation with these two bimbos?' "
