Emily Ratajkowski admitted in her book that she was tired of being sexy for decades. Quotes from her book My Body are quoted by The Sun.
The fashion model said that her parents watched over her appearance and clothes from an early age, and also taught her to capitalize on her attractiveness. According to Ratajkowski, as a child, she prayed and asked God to make her beautiful. “I saw beauty as a way to be special. When I became such, I felt the love of my parents most of all, ”she explained.
Ratajkowski emphasized that she first encountered unwanted male attention at the age of 12 during a modeling casting at school. The agent, whose name was not disclosed, drew attention to the eyes of the girl in the pictures in the portfolio. “From this look, it’s clear that she is having sex,” he said. The model noted that she felt humiliated, but felt that she was the sexiest among other applicants.
“Once I was kicked out of school dancing because they thought I looked too sexy and deliberately showed my figure. I cried, telling my mother about this, and she said that I should continue in the same spirit, – complained the heroine of the material. “It seemed to me that I had to prove to everyone that I was the sexiest in the world.”
The businesswoman managed to gain great popularity on social networks, where she regularly posted nude photos. Ratajkowski admitted that in real life she constantly feels the objectification of her person, and the title of a sex symbol limits her in various aspects of life.
“I'm tired of apologizing for showing my body. Writing a book is an attempt to finally understand what sexuality means to me, “the model concluded.
