Emily Ratajkowski shares why she quit acting and fired her entire team
“I didn’t feel like, ‘Oh, I’m an artist performing and this is my outlet,’” Ratajkowski said about quitting her acting career. “I felt like a piece of meat who people were judging, saying, ‘Does she have anything else other than her [breasts]?’”
After “Gone Girl,” Ratajkowski worked hard with her team to find acting roles that would prove she is a “serious actress with longevity.” She only found supporting roles, but it wasn’t for the lack of trying. She continued to audition for films in the past few years, such as Ruben Östlund’s Cannes winner and Oscar nominee “Triangle of Sadness.” Ratajkowski lost out on the role of Yaya to the late Charlbi Dean.
While navigating being an actor in Hollywood, Ratajkowski said she realized it would mean having to make herself “digestible to powerful men in Hollywood.” She fired her acting agent, commercial representative and manager in early 2020 as a result.
“I didn’t trust them,” Ratajkowski said. “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.’”
An experience Ratajkowski had at a WME party in part turned her off from Hollywood. She attended the event with her husband Sean Bear-McClard, whose “clearly drunk” agent told her she was “like Pamela Anderson before the hep C.”
“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,” Ratajkowski writes in an essay from her book, “My Body.” “I hated that my husband was at all connected to these men.”

R32 Because she has an absurd idea of herself as Society's Downtrodden Victim. People here would like her if she was proud, unabashed and acted like an adult who made her choices and has a great lifestyle as a result. Instead, it's just infantile little girl whining. Rata did not grow up poor. If she wanted to go to law school or whatever she was free to do so . Personally I don't blame her for cashing in but the complaining is unattractive and tiresome.

Sometimes I think that Emily has a ghostwriter or a Cyrano de Bergerac type person doing her writing and scripting. I know someone who was friends with her ex and he said she was extremely dumb. In the 50 questions or whatever for vogue it also seemed like someone had written a script for her to seem like the smart hip girl but she barely seemed like she knew what she was saying. It’s weird. She has never come across as intelligent to me when she is actually speaking, but I agree her writing and ideas are decent. This would track with why she is contradicting herself constantly and still pulling her tits out whenever she can.

She was the most skimpily dressed at one of the Oscars parties: tits on full display - pics at link from Page Six have pixellated her nipples. Her posing lately is weird, especially the way she tilts her head. Does she take herself so seriously she can't smile for the paps? Or is it for more victim rhetoric later on?

Honey, that's what [italic]The Theater[/italic] is for if you can't get the "lead" movie roles you want. The buzz after Gone Girl would've gotten you into plenty of Broadway auditions. But you want the spotlight and cushiness of Hollywood stuff, don't ya.

Markle would be nothing without her nosejobs, veneers, God knows what else she's had done, and her marriage. Not a fan of ER, but it seems like she didn't need a surgeon, dentist and husband to make it. That she models and she's below model height means she must be considered particularly pretty. Either that or she fucked her way to the top. Probably has a huge following among straight guys, given the outfits she wears.

She was on some forgettable kid’s show as a teenager. It looks like she altered her nose and lips, courtesy of a surgeon, to get a more “mature” image. It’s hard to believe those slug-like lips are natural. Some think her boobs are well done implants.
