Ratajkowski’s damning allegation

[ad_1]

ACTRESS and model Emily Ratajkowski claimed she was groped by singer Robin Thicke while filming her music video Blurred Lines.

She made the claim in her upcoming book My Body, claiming the incident happened on the set of the 2013 clip, in which she and two other nearly naked models appeared alongside Thicke, Pharrell Williams and TI.

Ironically, it is this same clip that has been criticized for objectifying women and promoting the culture of rape.

The 30-year-old actress and model claims Thicke caught her off guard by touching her chest from behind.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, I felt the freshness and strangeness of a foreign hand cupping my bare breasts from behind, Ratajkowski wrote.

I instinctively walked away, looking at Robin Thicke.

He smirked awkwardly and stumbled back, his eyes hidden behind his sunglasses. My head turned to the darkness beyond the scenery.

[The director, Diane Martels] the voice broke as she screamed at me: are you okay?

Although the alleged moment made her feel naked for the first time that day, she was desperate to downplay the situation.

She explained that Thicke, who opened up about his drug and alcohol abuse past, was a bit drunk and didn’t seem to be having the same fun on set.

I pushed my chin forward and shrugged, avoiding eye contact, feeling the warmth of humiliation spread through my body, she wrote again.

I didn’t really react, not the way I should have.

Video director Martel corroborated Ratajkowski’s account.

I remember the moment he grabbed her breasts. One in each hand. He was standing behind her as they were both in profile, Martel told the Times newspaper.

In her book, Ratajkowski says she didn’t dwell on the alleged incident until she realized that Thicke, now a judge on The Masked Singer, had blocked her on Instagram.

With that one gesture, Robin Thicke reminded everyone on set that we women weren’t really responsible, she said of her experience.

I had no real power as a naked girl dancing in her music video. I was nothing more than the model hired.

Thicke has yet to publicly respond to Ratajkowski’s claims.
