“What’s wrong with boobs?” Model and actress emily ratajkowski asked in her interview in the August issue of Harper’s Bazaar in which she revealed her breasts are the reason why she doesn’t get a lot of serious acting roles.
Ratajkowski, who sounded frustrated, explained to the magazine that people think “she’s too sexy” and continued on to say, “It's like an anti-women thing, that people don't want to work with me because my boobs are too big."
Ratajkowski has been turned down before
This is not the first time that the model complained about not getting roles due to her voluptuous figure.
In May of 2016, she sat down with ES Magazine and bluntly confessed that sexy actresses find it difficult to land serious roles, since most of the time, they get stereotyped and are always cast in the same role.
She explained that although casting people do not want her talking about topics such as this, she insisted that she would not keep quiet about it as, "It's important to me."
If you know Ratajkowski from the risqué video “Blurred Lines” by Robin Thicke and if you follow her on Instagram where she always shimmies in her two-piece bikini, you would know that the brunette beauty has always been this open and proud about her sexuality.
Ratajkowski stood up against sexism in the past
Not only did she stand up for Melania Trump after the First Lady received sexist attacks and Kim Kardashian-West after the mom of two was bashed online for a nude selfie she posted but she also posed topless alongside Kardashian in March last year and questioned why people get affected too much by Breasts.
The outspoken 26-year old model said that breasts are a beautiful part of femininity, which should be celebrated and not be an issue. “It really bothers me that people are so offended by breasts..." she said in Allure's August issue. “When we see breasts, we don’t think of beauty and femininity. We think of vulgar, oversexualized images.”
Still voicing out her opinions on a woman’s body image, she said that she felt empowered after fully embracing her own sexuality.
Explaining her definition of being a feminist, she said, “To me, any expression that is empowered and is your own as a woman is feminist."

The “We Are Your Friends” actress explained that being a feminist doesn’t mean women can’t dress sexy.
The important thing is that women do things that empower them and make them feel good.
In fact, Ratajkowski reminded everyone back in 2016 that society should quit thinking that women "can't manage to be political, feminist, and a sex symbol," at the same time.
