Blurred Lines video is “the bane of my existence”, says model
By Andy Malt | Published on Monday 7 September 2015
Emily Ratajkowski has said that the ‘Blurred Lines’ video, in which she appeared, has become the “bane of [her] existence”. Though I’m sure she’s not the only person who says that these days.
Speaking to InStyle magazine, the model said: “I wasn’t into the idea at all at first. I think I came off as a bit annoyed in the video. Now, it’s the bane of my existence. When anyone comes up to me about ‘Blurred Lines’, I’m like, are we seriously talking about a video from three years ago?”
“It’s weird to me that the reaction to a woman’s naked body is so controversial in our culture”, she added. “My mum taught me to never apologise for my sexuality. My dad never made me feel embarrassed. I also don’t think I’ve ever had an awareness of my own body as being super-sexual. It was always just my body”.
Though, to be fair, for the most part the controversy came from the context provided by the video and song, rather than just the discovery that Ratajkowski has a body.
