“Suddenly, out of nowhere, I felt the coolness and foreignness of a stranger’s hands cupping my bare breasts from behind,” Emily Ratajkowski writes in her forthcoming book
Photo-Illustration: The Cut; Photos: Getty Images/Shutterstock In her forthcoming book My Body, model and actress Emily Ratajkowski accuses singer Robin Thicke of sexually assaulting her while filming the “Blurred Lines” music video in 2013. Ratajkowski and two other models appeared semi-nude in the video, which features Thicke as well as rapper T.I. and singer Pharrell Williams .
“He smiled a goofy grin and stumbled backward, his eyes concealed behind his sunglasses,” she said. “My head turned to the darkness beyond the set. [Martel’s] voice cracked as she yelled out to me, ‘Are you okay?’” Ratajkowski says she tried to “minimize” what happened. “I pushed my chin forward and shrugged, avoiding eye contact, feeling the heat of humiliation pump through my body,” she wrote. “I didn’t react — not really, not like I should have.
Since its 2013 debut, “Blurred Lines” and its video have been criticized for sexism, given the video’s use of female nudity and trivializing consent and rape culture, with repeated lyrics like “I know you want it.” Both Martel and Ratajkowski have previously defended the video, with Ratajkowski saying it was meant to subvert the male gaze.
