We all remember Robin Thicke’s ‘Blurred Lines,’ the controversial steamy video in which the entire world discovered Emily Ratajkowski. An explosive exposure for the supermodel, which led to her becoming one of the world’s most researched celebrities online. The video, like the song, was an instant hit when it first came out, but Emily was the true star of the show. She agreed to appear topless in the video’s uncensored version and made a significant impact in the entertainment industry. This attracted a lot of attention, a contract with some of the world’s biggest fashion brands, and international recognition.
Ratajkowski is one of three models who agreed to appear topless in the video, which also features two other models, Thicke, Pharrell Williams, and T.I., and she made some shocking revelations in her 2021 book ‘My Body’. Emily accuses Robin Thicke of molesting her during the shoot because he became increasingly drunk and rude. Director Diane Martel eventually confirmed Ratajkowski’s version of events. She was the one who abruptly halted the shooting, causing everyone to scramble. However, we have a brand new account from another of the models in the video.
During an interview with Bustle, supermodel Elle Evans, who also appears half naked in the shoot, confirmed what happened. “All the stuff with Emily and Robin there together, that was a closed set,” she explained. So they had no one else to look at them. Emily did leave abruptly near the end of the shoot, from what I recall. The production team was in a bit of a panic, wondering, ‘What are we going to do? ‘How are we going to shoot the rest of the video without her?’ She had a flight to catch, I was told. ‘That’s too sexy,’ Diane exclaimed. Don’t be too seductive. This isn’t the club, you understand. This is not a joke.
