Emily Ratajkowski slammed for 'disturbing' photoshoot with her 'breastfeeding' doll

The American model was sending a message about her new approach to dating

Emily Ratajkowski is facing some severe criticism online for the revealing way in which she's advertising her new way of life.

The American model is embracing the dating scene in New York once again, around four years on from her split from ex-husband Sebastian Bear-McClard.

After welcoming a baby boy together in 2021, Ratajkowski revealed in her new article that the pair stopped having sex six months after, before splitting a year on, and now she's documenting her new lifestyle as a sex-positive single mother.

The 35-year-old spared no detail in her new piece for New York Magazine (via The Cut), whether it's a candid admission about what her sex life looks like now or even revealing how many people she had slept with before giving birth to her son.

In the piece, she explains how she changed her attitude, feeling as if she was unwanted after her break-up to now understanding just how many men (and women) would love to be with her, even if it isn't a loving relationship that she's after in this case.

Ratajkowski has also taken to Instagram to promote the piece, and that involved a series of rather raunchy photographs which leave little to the imagination.

She can be seen in an open leather jacket which exposes a large percentage of her breasts, while she's also holding a glass of wine and a doll, which is made to look as if it's breastfeeding.

Despite it being a doll, it seems as if a lot of folks online aren't too happy with the way that could be interpreted, especially since alcohol can pass straight into your breast milk, so perhaps isn't the best idea if the baby's still getting its nutrients that way.

They wrote: "Since when do we breastfeed and drink alcohol ? ;/; This is so…uncomfortable. It doesn’t even seem like art;

"What is going on with people? That photo is genuinely disturbing. The desperation for attention has reached a point where people have completely lost their sense of taste and crossed into pure ridiculousness. Terrible."

"Sexualising breastfeeding and using a "baby" as a prop, nothing cool or fashionable about that; Why are we sexualising breastfeeding?;

"This is weird; l adore you but wtf? sexualising breastfeeding? girl no; This is sad honestly; Wtf are you trying to show; I’m sorry but this ain’t it."


It seems as if almost everything is overly sexualised these days but it seems as if these folks clearly draw the line when it comes to breastfeeding, even if that might not have been the exact message Ratajkowski was trying to get across.

In her new piece, Emily confessed: 'I hated the condescending way people looked at me in the wake of my breakup. Their furrowed brows, the pity in their faces as they delivered an “I’m so sorry, Emily.”'

She added: "I couldn’t stand my pathetic reflection in their eyes. They saw me as someone who was unwanted, who had been left. A reject with the burden of a needy, hungry, two-foot-tall sidekick."

Therefore, it might simply be interpreted as wanting to feel sexy and coveted as a single mother, but to be honest, I'm a taken man, so what do I really know about that?

LADbible has contacted the representatives of Emily Ratajkowski for comment.
