Emily Ratajkowski says Robin Thicke drunkenly groped her on the "Blurred Lines" set
The Sunday Times published an excerpt from her upcoming memoir, My Body, out November 9
When “Blurred Lines” came out, the song was largely criticized for its alarming lyrics that seem to be about not respecting consent. The music video introduced Emily Ratajkowski to a wider audience and turned her into a star, however she’s previously made a point to say she doesn’t stand by the video or the song, and even referred to it as “the bane of [her] existence” back in 2015. Now, Ratajkowski is ready to speak up about an alarming situation on the music video’s set where Thicke allegedly groped her without consent.
The Sunday Times published an excerpt from Ratajkowski’s upcoming memoir, My Body, where the model detailed Thicke’s alleged actions. (The A.V. Club also received an advance copy.) In My Body, the model writes about finding out Thicke blocked her on social media. At time, she says she “racked [her] brain” trying to figure out why, and then realized it was his way of acknowledging “he did something he wasn’t supposed to do.”
