Emily Ratajkowski has opened up about why she kept quiet about her alleged sexual assault on the set of Robin Thicke’s Blurred Lines.
Emily Ratajkowski had big dreams of being famous — so she kept quiet about Robin Thicke allegedly groping her breast on the set of his Blurred Lines music video.
The model, who is promoting her new book of essays, My Body, told People she knew she wouldn’t have become successful if she vocalised her accusations when it happened.
“I was an unknown model, and if I had spoken out or complained, I would not be where I am today; I would not be famous,” Ratajkowski, 30, told the magazine at the CoinGeek Conference cocktail party.
The Sports Illustrated stunner said she decided to detail the alleged incident in her book because she has evolved over the years and hopes her fans will understand.
“I wrote a book about the evolution of my politics, and that includes a lot of different experiences from my career and my life, and the way that I felt and thought about those experiences [has] evolved,” she explained. “I hope people are able to read the essay and understand the nuance behind these kinds of situations.”
Published in the Sunday Times, the excerpt from Ratajkowski’s memoir claims that Thicke groped her bare breast while shooting the 2013 music video that would launch her to fame.
“Suddenly, out of nowhere, I felt the coolness and foreignness of a stranger’s hands cupping my bare breasts from behind. I instinctively moved away, looking back at Robin Thicke,” she writes in the book, set to be released next month.
Ratajkowski was one of three models who appeared in the video, which also starred Pharrell Williams and T.I.
What started as an experience she enjoyed quickly deteriorated when the Back Together singer, now 44, allegedly began to act boorishly.
“He smiled a goofy grin and stumbled backward, his eyes concealed behind his sunglasses. My head turned to the darkness beyond the set. [The director, Diane Martel’s] voice cracked as she yelled out to me, ‘Are you okay?’” the book states.
Martel confirmed the incident, according to the Times’ report, and said she didn’t believe Thicke would have done it “had he been sober”.
The Grammy nominee has not publicly responded to Ratajkowski’s allegations.
