Emily Ratajkowski is receiving support from fans after she was publicly criticized while filming a TikTok video in New York City.
In a video uploaded on Tuesday, the 33-year-old supermodel shared footage of the bizarre moment when an off-camera man interrupted her walk and told her to “put a shirt on.”
The sexist comment was made as she walked down the sidewalk, wearing a gray tank top with a plunging neckline, black leggings and a gold choker.
She paired her relaxed look with a black shoulder bag, hoop earrings and QUAY x Guizio glasses.
“Wait a minute: a man tells me to put a shirt on,” the mother of one, who is reportedly in a relationship with singer Shaboozey, captioned the footage, which has been viewed 1.7 million times.

Under her post, the bestselling author’s followers expressed their outrage and offered their support.
“Imagine saying that to Emily Ratajkowski,” someone said, surprised.
Another wrote: ‘Saying that to EMRATA is insane behaviour.’
“The audacity to talk to a stranger like that. You should dress and be whoever you want,” a third commented.
A fourth asked: ‘Why would you wear a shirt when you literally look this good?’
The founder of swimwear brand Inamorata wrote in the post: ‘She’s not exactly modest and not exactly thoughtful.’
She was referring to the new TikTok trend that has taken the platform by storm and was started by Jools Lebron.
Ratajkowski made the music video based on Charli XCX’s hit 365 from her latest album, Brat.
In a video uploaded on Tuesday, the 33-year-old supermodel captured the bizarre moment when an off-camera man interrupted her walk and told her: ‘Girl, put a shirt on.’
The sexist comment was made as she walked down the sidewalk wearing a gray tank top with a low-cut neckline, black leggings and a gold choker.
Ratajkowski, who wrote the book My Body, previously admitted that she “exploited herself” and “used her body” to gain “fame and success.”
During a 2021 interview with CBS Mornings, the New York actress confessed that she “abused her sexuality” at a younger age in an attempt to gain control.
‘[In] “When I was in my early 20s, I really saw myself as someone who worked hard and played the system and said, ‘Okay, I know what I can achieve by modeling and using my body to be famous and successful.’ And I even called it empowerment,” she explained.
Emily starred in Robin Thicke’s music video for ‘Blurred Lines’ in 2013 – she was 22 at the time – and her career quickly skyrocketed as a result.
In the clip, she and two other female models appeared completely topless as they danced alongside Robin, and she later claimed that the singer groped her beasts on set.

“I was in the Blurred Lines video, that was my big break. I told everyone it was a powerful experience,” she said.
‘But as I got older, I realized it’s a bit more complicated and I felt a responsibility to tell that to young girls.
‘I would be wrong if I said that there is only a liberating effect when you, as a woman, use your sexuality and beauty.’
The mother of one continued, “I’m not interested in canceling anyone. For me, it was telling the truth about the whole reality of that experience. Because for so long, I was just saying, ‘It was so much fun,’ which it was.”
Previously, Ratajkowski, who wrote the book My Body, admitted that she “exploited herself” and “used her body” to gain “fame and success.”
Emily explained that she liked to “use her sexuality” and “take advantage of her image” because she felt like it gave her “some kind of control.”
‘I don’t think exploiting myself is progress, I think it just gave me some kind of control. The only time I feel empowered is through writing. [My Body] and telling this story and even just making something, creating something. That feels like real power,” she said.
