‘I felt like a piece of meat’

Emily Ratajkowski says she has “basically quit acting” because the film industry is “f – – ked up.”

The 31-year-old hit out at Hollywood in a candid new interview with the Los Angeles Times, saying she “felt like a piece of meat” having to impress the men who control the movie biz.

Ratajkowksi shot to fame in 2013 after appearing in the raunchy music video for Robin Thicke’s hit track, “Blurred Lines.”

The brunette soon transitioned to acting, making her big-screen debut in 2014’s “Gone Girl.” She subsequently starred in a slew of movies including “We Are Your Friends” and “I Feel Pretty.”

But the beauty hasn’t been seen on-screen since 2019’s “Lying and Stealing,” and she failed to secure a part in last year’s hit film “Triangle of Sadness.”

However, Ratajkowski told the Times that she doesn’t miss making movies.

“I didn’t feel like, ‘Oh, I’m an artist performing and this is my outlet,’” she explained, saying she’s found creative fulfillment in other areas.

“I felt like a piece of meat who people were judging, saying, ‘Does she have anything else other than her [breasts]?’” she bluntly added.

Ratajkowski further told the Times that during her five-year stint as a Hollywood actress she felt vulnerable to “power dynamics and the power that is held by boys club.” She added that she was forced to become “digestible to powerful men in Hollywood.”

Thus, in early 2020, she fired her acting agent, commercial rep and manager.

“I didn’t trust them,” she declared “I was like, ‘I can handle receiving phone calls. I’m gonna make these decisions. None of you have my best interest at heart. And you all hate women.’”

In the interview, Ratajkowski also discussed an essay that appeared in her bestselling book, “My Body,” released in 2021.

In the essay, the brunette wrote about attending an industry party with her then-husband, film producer Sebastian Bear-McClard, which left her feeling extremely uncomfortable.

“I thought about the way that [Bear-McClard] had glided through the room, a room full of men who only two years before had been kissing Harvey Weinstein’s ring and encouraging their young female clients to take meetings with him in hotel rooms,” she wrote. “I hated that my husband was at all connected to these men.”

Ratajkowski told the Times that she fought with Bear-McClard that night, before alleging that his “clearly drunk” agent told her that she “was so famous that she was like Pamela Anderson before the hep C.”

“Maybe that’s why right now I’m not really interested in men’s POVs,” she said of that event and the film industry more broadly. “This is a f – – ked up world. Like, Hollywood is f – – ked up. And it’s dark.”

Ratajkowski is now in the middle of a bitter divorce from Bear-McClard, who has been accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women.
