Emily Ratajkowski has faced fierce criticism after sharing controversial topless images on Instagram this Friday, in which she appears to 'breastfeed' a doll while clutching a glass of wine. The model bared nearly all in the snaps, wearing an unbuttoned leather jacket that barely concealed her chest. Emily cradled a baby doll, simulating breastfeeding while simultaneously holding a martini glass.
Fans React Negatively
Followers appeared far from impressed with the images, which were shared to promote her latest 'motherf*****' essay for New York Magazine, branding them "disturbing and uncomfortable" across social media platforms. Comments flooded in: "Since when do we breastfeed and drink alcohol?" Another said: "This is so...uncomfortable. It doesn't even seem like art. What is going on with people?"
Despite the baby being a doll, fans were still not impressed. Another commented: "That photo is genuinely disturbing. The desperation for attention has reached a point where people have completely lost their sense of taste and crossed into pure ridiculousness. Terrible." A fourth said: "This is weird; I adore you but wtf?"
Subtle References in Photos
Also visible in the photographs was a man dressed only in his underwear, positioned on the window ledge in the background - a subtle reference to the lifestyle she outlined in her essay for New York Times. The American model has returned to New York's dating scene, approximately four years following her separation from former husband Sebastian Bear-McClard.
Following the birth of their son in 2021, Ratajkowski disclosed in her latest article that intimacy between the couple ceased six months afterwards, with the relationship ending a year later. She's now chronicling her experiences as a sex-positive single mum.
Frank Revelations in Essay
The 35 year old held nothing back in her contribution to New York Magazine (via The Cut), offering frank revelations about her current intimate life and even disclosing her number of previous partners before becoming a mother. Throughout the piece, she describes her transformation from feeling rejected post-separation to recognising the abundance of admirers - both male and female - keen to be with her, regardless of whether she's seeking a committed relationship.
Emily revealed: "I hated the condescending way people looked at me in the wake of my breakup. Their furrowed brows, the pity in their faces as they delivered an 'I'm so sorry, Emily.'" She continued: "I couldn't stand my pathetic reflection in their eyes. They saw me as someone who was unwanted, who had been left. A reject with the burden of a needy, hungry, two-foot-tall sidekick."
Post-Divorce Romantic Life
She parted ways with husband Sebastian Bear-McClard in 2022 amid swirling speculation about his faithfulness, just one year after their son Sylvester arrived. The 35-year-old subsequently embarked on a whirlwind romantic journey that captured tabloid attention, while dodging speculation linking her to Brad Pitt. Emily enjoyed fleeting encounters with DJ Orazio Rispo, while also being linked to the likes of Pete Davidson and Eric Andre during this period. In March 2023, she was photographed sharing an intimate kiss with Harry Styles in Tokyo, despite reportedly being mates with his former partner Olivia Wilde.
