Emily Ratajkowski has called out a woman who has been copying her photos on social media.
Ratajkowski, 32, is a model and actress who regularly posts content online. But it seems she's unhappy with one woman - comedian Celeste Barber - who has been mimicking some of her posts.

Barber is an Australian comedian who regularly provides tongue-in-cheek takes on celebrity Instagram snaps.
She's also known for her Netflix show Wellmania and her stand-up comedy, but many people follow Barber simply for her hilarious posts.
The Kardashians, Gwyneth Paltrow and Bella Hadid are just some of the big names she's taken on, but it's her Ratajkowski snaps that seem to have caused a stir.
In one post, Celeste included a screenshot of Emily striking a seductive pose during a half-naked photo shoot along with her own, less glamorous interpretation of the pose.

She captioned the post: "We are sick of objectifying our bodies. Also, here's my a**."
This particular post occurred in the same year that Emily released her book My Body, which examined sexuality and female empowerment and some of the model's own personal experiences with objectification and abuse.
Ratajkowski has since blocked Barber and later opened up on the 'whole drama'.

“This whole drama with Celeste has been blown out of proportion. In general, I find her to be really funny. But, [the] message I was trying to send to her was, ‘I just don’t want you to do this to me anymore’,” she said on her podcast, High Low with EmRata.
“[I want] to be able to do my thing, whether that be writing about my terrifying experiences in an industry that doesn’t protect women and young girls and femme-presenting people while also having a bathing suit line.”
She also discussed the images in a post on The Cut.
“I was like, I’m not giving her my consent for this joke anymore. It just landed at a specific time for me,” she added.

“We really love to pick on female influencers like they are considered the trash, lamest, most cringe, most embarrassing people on the planet.
“I fundamentally find that to be sexist. Yeah, no s*** women want to be influencers – it’s one of the ways that women have learned to be successful and make money. They’re hustling.”
Barber also responded to the backlash, telling Marie Claire: “I like running my mouth off. I do it a lot. I’m quick-witted – it’s one of my favourite things about me.

“I don’t like that I feel I can’t do that as much, and yeah I do feel like I censor myself sometimes. But then other times I don’t give a f*** and I operate from a place of already being cancelled.
“I mean good luck to them. You can’t win. They hate what you do one day, then you’re the greatest thing in the world the next day.”
